Subject: [PATCH v2 4/7] HID: sensor: custom: Fix state lifetime during removal
Date: Wed,  4 Nov 2026 12:14:00 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104201403.2039921-5-srinivas.pandruvada@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104201403.2039921-1-srinivas.pandruvada@linux.intel.com>

Open misc device files can outlive platform-device removal. Since the
devm-allocated state can be freed while a reader is queued on its wait
queue, subsequent file operations may access freed memory.

Allocate the state independently of devres and give every open
file a reference to keep the FIFO and state alive after removal.

On removal, mark the device as disconnected and wake readers; make reads
return -ENODEV and polls report hangup and error. Free the FIFO and state
when the final reference is released. Unregister the sensor hub callback
before tearing down the interface so in-flight raw-event processing
finishes before the sensor state can be freed.

Fixes: 4a7de0519df5 ("HID: sensor: Custom and Generic sensor support")
Reported-by: Семён Марьясин <simeon@maryasin.name>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAM2dg7ewfVJSP4rFyhkCB1Rmd1+X56sAg=eUdbPthG2xrLqwQQ@mail.gmail.com/
