[PATCH 0/2] USB: serial: fix port tear down use-after-free
From: Johan Hovold
Date: Thu Aug 20 2026 - 10:59:25 EST
When addressing a port probe ordering issue in digi_acceleport recently
I realised that we have a corresponding general problem during
disconnect, but I didn't have time to address it straight away.
Now syzbot has managed to trigger one of its symptoms and people have
already started submitting incomplete band-aids so here is a proper
fix.
When testing the fix I also noticed that we have an ordering issue when
deregistering drivers that can result in similar use-after-free.
