Subject: [PATCH 2/5] platform/x86: dell: dcdbas: Suppress bind attributes of the platform driver
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 22:17:55 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <fa93ff8c72aa9f8a12d032dfc8422d77782f2c6d.1794633178.git.rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1794633178.git.rosenp@gmail.com>
The dcdbas platform device is created by the module itself and stays
in use for as long as the module is loaded: dell-smbios-smm allocates
its SMI buffers against it through dcdbas_smi_alloc() whether or not
the driver is bound.
Binding the driver again after an unbind also leaks state:
dcdbas_check_wsmt() runs a second time and memremap()s the firmware
SMI buffer again, overwriting bios_buffer and leaking the previous
mapping.
Unbinding or rebinding the device by hand is not useful, so hide the
bind and unbind files.
