Subject: [PATCH] rtc: pxa: fix IRQ leak on probe failure after pxa_rtc_open()
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 19:40:37 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914124037.2204337-1-congnt264@gmail.com> (raw)
pxa_rtc_probe() calls pxa_rtc_open(dev), discarding its return value.
On success that requests both the 1Hz and alarm IRQs. If a later step
fails (sa1100_rtc_init() or devm_rtc_device_register()), probe returns
without releasing them -- and pxa_rtc_irq() then dereferences the
devm-freed pxa_rtc on any pending/spurious interrupt, plus a retry
fails with -EBUSY since the IRQs are never released. Not theoretical:
commit 34127b3632b2 ("rtc: pxa: fix null pointer dereference") documents
sa1100_rtc_init() failing this way on a real Zaurus SL-C1000.
Check pxa_rtc_open()'s return, and route both later failures through
pxa_rtc_release() via a new err_release label, mirroring the existing
remove() cleanup.
Fixes: 3cdf4ad9633e ("rtc: pxa: convert to use shared sa1100 functions")
