Subject: [PATCH 08/24] serial: 8250: cancel overrun backoff work on port shutdown and unregister
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 12:06:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027-tty-llm-v1-8-99b0202ae546@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261027-tty-llm-v1-0-99b0202ae546@linuxfoundation.org>
From: Joshua Rogers <linux@joshua.hu>
The overrun_backoff delayed work can be scheduled from IRQ handlers in
8250_fsl.c and 8250_omap.c via schedule_delayed_work(). However, this
work is never canceled in the shutdown or unregister paths, so it can
fire after the port has been torn down, causing stale hardware access or
use-after-free.
The existing synchronize_irq() calls in the shutdown path only
synchronize with the IRQ handler itself, not with workqueue callbacks
that the handler has already enqueued. Add cancel_delayed_work_sync()
after the IRQ is quiesced in serial8250_do_shutdown() (the generic
shutdown path used by FSL and others), omap_8250_shutdown() (the
OMAP-specific shutdown path), and serial8250_unregister_port() (the
module unload / hot-unplug path).
