[PATCH 1/2] mmc: via-sdmmc: stop card-detect handling on probe failure

From: Fan Wu

Date: Thu Jul 23 2026 - 07:33:09 EST


request_irq() registers the SD card-detect interrupt and the probe enables
it before mmc_add_host() runs. If mmc_add_host() fails, the error path only
unmaps the registers and returns: the interrupt stays registered, so the
handler keeps running against the host once it is freed. via_sdc_isr()
dereferences sdhost and its MMIO base and schedules carddet_work, which
via_sdc_card_detect() also runs against freed memory through its
container_of() dereference.

Add a probe-error path that disables and frees the interrupt and cancels
carddet_work before unmapping. carddet_work can re-enable the device
interrupt via via_reset_pcictrl(), which restores PCIINTCTRL, so mask it
again after cancelling the work.

This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool and confirmed by
manual code review.
