[PATCH] firmware: arm_scmi: Free mailbox channels if probe fails

From: Rishabh Bhatnagar
Date: Tue Aug 03 2021 - 18:22:40 EST


Mailbox channels for the base protocol are setup during probe.
There can be a scenario where probe fails to acquire the base
protocol due to a timeout leading to cleaning up of all device
managed memory including the scmi_mailbox structure setup during
mailbox_chan_setup function.
[ 12.735104]arm-scmi soc:qcom,scmi: timed out in resp(caller: version_get+0x84/0x140)
[ 12.735224]arm-scmi soc:qcom,scmi: unable to communicate with SCMI
[ 12.735947]arm-scmi: probe of soc:qcom,scmi failed with error -110

Now when a message arrives at cpu slightly after the timeout, the mailbox
controller will try to call the rx_callback of the client and might end
up accessing freed memory.
[ 12.758363][ C0] Call trace:
[ 12.758367][ C0] rx_callback+0x24/0x160
[ 12.758372][ C0] mbox_chan_received_data+0x44/0x94
[ 12.758386][ C0] __handle_irq_event_percpu+0xd4/0x240
This patch frees the mailbox channels setup during probe and adds some more
error handling in case the probe fails.
