Subject: [PATCH 2/3] power: supply: axp20x_usb_power: drain vbus_detect work before unregistering the supply
Date: Sat, 7 Nov 2026 01:00:56 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106160057.2754689-3-hj351016@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261106160057.2754689-1-hj351016@gmail.com>
From: Hyunjung Ko <hj351016@gmail.com>
axp20x_usb_power_probe() registers the self-rearming vbus_detect poll
work for device-managed cancellation before it registers the power
supply:
devm_delayed_work_autocancel(dev, &power->vbus_detect,
axp_data->axp20x_read_vbus);
...
power->supply = devm_power_supply_register(dev, ...);
devres unwinds in reverse registration order, so on unbind/unload the
power supply is torn down first and the work is cancelled last:
power_supply_unregister(power->supply); /* frees power->supply */
cancel_delayed_work_sync(&power->vbus_detect); /* too late */
power_supply_unregister() ends in device_unregister(&psy->dev), whose
release (power_supply_dev_release()) kfree()s the power_supply once the
last reference drops. The driver holds power->supply as a bare pointer
and takes no extra reference, so it is left dangling.
The vbus_detect handler (axp20x_usb_power_poll_vbus() /
axp717_usb_power_poll_vbus()) calls power_supply_changed(power->supply)
and re-queues itself via axp20x_usb_vbus_needs_polling(), so a poll
instance is essentially always pending or running whenever VBUS polling
is in use. It is also queued from the USB power IRQ. power_supply_changed()
unconditionally dereferences the supply (spin_lock on psy->changed_lock,
pm_stay_awake(&psy->dev), schedule_work on psy->changed_work) with no
use_cnt/removing guard on that path. If a poll instance runs in the
window after power_supply_unregister() has freed the supply but before
cancel_delayed_work_sync() has drained it, it dereferences freed
memory -> use-after-free.
Register the work cancellation after devm_power_supply_register(), so
devres (LIFO) cancels the work first -- while power->supply is still
valid -- and only then unregisters the supply. This mirrors the existing
"request irqs after registering" ordering in the same function: the IRQ
handler and the final queue_delayed_work() are the only things that
queue the work, and both already run after the supply is registered, so
devm_delayed_work_autocancel() still performs INIT_DELAYED_WORK() before
the work can first be scheduled.
Found by static analysis / code review; compile-tested only, not
reproduced on hardware (requires an AXP20x/AXP717-class PMIC).
