[PATCH] power: supply: rt9455: quiesce delayed work before teardown
From: Fan Wu
Date: Thu Jul 23 2026 - 11:14:35 EST
The threaded IRQ handler can queue pwr_rdy_work,
max_charging_time_work and batt_presence_work. pwr_rdy_work and
batt_presence_work can also queue max_charging_time_work, while
batt_presence_work can requeue itself.
rt9455_remove() cancels max_charging_time_work before
batt_presence_work. The latter can therefore queue
max_charging_time_work after it has already been cancelled:
rt9455_remove() workqueue
cancel pwr_rdy_work
cancel max_charging_time_work
batt_presence_work queues
max_charging_time_work
cancel batt_presence_work
return
devres frees rt9455_info
max_charging_time_work dereferences
rt9455_info
The IRQ also remains registered until devres cleanup and can queue more
work after any of the cancellation calls. If rt9455_hw_init() fails
after the IRQ has been requested, probe returns without cancelling work
that may already have been queued. A pending callback can then access
rt9455_info after it has been freed.
Explicitly free the managed IRQ before cancelling the delayed works in
both paths. This waits for the threaded handler and prevents it from
queuing more work. Cancel pwr_rdy_work and batt_presence_work before
max_charging_time_work because both can queue the latter.
This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.
