Subject: [PATCH 3/6] backlight: qcom-wled: Cancel delayed work on probe failure
Date: Wed,  4 Nov 2026 18:39:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104183935.1214630-4-lee@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104183935.1214630-1-lee@kernel.org>

If a short interrupt fires after wled_configure_short_irq() has
registered the interrupt handler, wled_short_irq_handler() calls
wled_module_enable(), which schedules wled->ovp_work.

If wled_probe() subsequently fails during
devm_backlight_device_register(), devres frees the wled structure while
wled->ovp_work remains pending, leading to a use-after-free when
wled_ovp_work() executes.

Configure the OVP interrupt first, then initialise wled->ovp_work via
devm_delayed_work_autocancel() before requesting the short interrupt.
This ensures that on teardown devres frees the short interrupt first,
cancels any pending wled->ovp_work while wled->ovp_irq is still valid,
and finally frees the OVP interrupt and wled structure.

Fixes: 8663c188beea ("backlight: qcom-wled: Add auto string detection logic")
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/bug/linux-ca2e48a2-f511-44b8-a7d4-866f360bf107
