Subject: [PATCH v2] phy: phy-bcm-ns2-usbdrd: cancel extcon work on unbind to avoid use-after-free
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 02:02:23 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109170223.1829473-1-hj351016@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Hyunjung Ko <hj351016@gmail.com>
ns2_drd_phy_probe() schedules driver->wq_extcon (extcon_work), which is
also queued from the ID/VBUS GPIO interrupt handler gpio_irq_handler().
The work handler dereferences the driver data via container_of().
struct ns2_phy_driver is allocated with devm_kzalloc() and the driver has
no remove callback, so on unbind devres frees it after probe's resources
are released. The GPIO interrupts are requested with devm_request_irq(),
and so released by devres; free_irq() only stops further interrupts, it
does not cancel a delayed work that is already queued. probe() queues
wq_extcon with a debounce delay before returning, and the GPIO interrupt
can queue it too, so on unbind the pending work can run after
ns2_phy_driver has been freed, dereferencing freed memory (use-after-free).
Register the work with devm_delayed_work_autocancel() instead of
INIT_DELAYED_WORK(). It is set up before the GPIO interrupts are
requested, so on unwind devres frees the interrupts first - after which
the work can no longer be queued - and then cancels the work while the
driver data is still valid. extcon_work() does not re-queue itself, so a
single cancel drains it.
Found by static analysis and code review; not runtime-reproduced (needs
Broadcom Northstar2 USB DRD PHY hardware).

Changes in v2:
- Reword the commit message: the GPIO interrupts are requested with
devm_request_irq() and released by devres (not "released with
devm_request_irq()") (Ray Jui).
- Place the new #include <linux/devm-helpers.h> in alphabetical order,
after <linux/delay.h> (Ray Jui).
