Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] mmc: core: don't dereference parent when releasing host index
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 07:58:56 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909105856.129733-2-adrianox@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260909105856.129733-1-adrianox@gmail.com>
mmc_host_classdev_release() reads host->parent->of_node to decide
whether to free the IDA slot, but mmc_alloc_host() does not guarantee
that the parent outlives the host (only devm_mmc_alloc_host() does).
So the vub300 driver can release its parent usb_device before
the host, resulting in a use-after-free.
Put the alias decision in host->index_is_alias at allocation time,
while the parent is still valid, and use it at release time.
Fixes: 10252bae863d ("mmc: core: Don't allocate IDA for OF aliases")
