Subject: [PATCH 03/10] regulator: core: Flush delayed disable_work before releasing supply in regulator_unregister()
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 18:20:53 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104182148.1176116-4-lee@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104182148.1176116-1-lee@kernel.org>
regulator_unregister() currently calls flush_work() on
rdev->disable_work.work after tearing down and freeing rdev->supply.
This has two bugs:
1. Because rdev->disable_work is a delayed_work, flush_work() only waits
for work that has already been queued and ignores an armed timer,
allowing delayed_work_timer_fn() to fire after device_unregister()
has freed rdev.
2. regulator_disable_work() locks and disables rdev->supply via
regulator_lock_dependent() and _regulator_disable(), so releasing
rdev->supply before flushing disable_work races with any pending or
running deferred disable work item.
Use flush_delayed_work() at the start of regulator_unregister() so any
deferred disable work completes before rdev->supply is torn down.
Fixes: da07ecd93b19 ("regulator: Implement deferred disable support")
Fixes: e032b376551a ("regulator: Fix deadlock on removal of regulators with supplies")
