Subject: [PATCH v2] ata: libahci: delete the SW activity blink timer on port stop
Date: Mon,  9 Nov 2026 15:07:09 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109060709.1231946-1-hj351016@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Hyunjung Ko <hj351016@gmail.com>

The software activity LED support arms a per-EM-port timer (emp->timer,
ahci_sw_activity_blink) from ahci_sw_activity() on I/O, and the timer
callback re-arms itself while the LED is blinking. emp->timer lives in
struct ahci_em_priv inside the port's ahci_port_priv, which is allocated
with devm_kzalloc() and freed when the port is torn down.

ahci_port_stop() never deletes this timer, so when the SW activity LED is
in use and the port is stopped (driver unbind / module unload) while the
blink timer is pending, ahci_sw_activity_blink() runs after
ahci_port_priv has been freed and dereferences the freed ahci_em_priv
(use-after-free).

Shut the timer down in ahci_port_stop() before the port private data is
released; timer_shutdown_sync() also stops the self re-arm. The timers are
only set up (ahci_init_sw_activity()) when ATA_FLAG_SW_ACTIVITY is set, so
gate on that flag and skip slots whose timer was never initialised --
timer_shutdown_sync() on an uninitialised timer trips the debug-object and
lockdep checks. Sweep all EM_MAX_SLOTS em_priv slots rather than the
current links, so a detached Port Multiplier's fan-out timer is not missed.

Not tested on real hardware (needs an AHCI controller with SGPIO
enclosure management and the software activity LED enabled).

Fixes: 18f7ba4c2f4b ("libata/ahci: enclosure management support")
