[PATCH v3 1/7] thunderbolt: Hold a router reference for each allocated HopID
From: Sven Peter
Date: Sat Aug 29 2026 - 04:10:14 EST
tb_stop drops the reference to all DP tunnels but does not deactivate
them, thus nothing cancels a dprx_work still in flight (which holds its
own tunnel reference) and the tunnel can outlive tb_switch_remove. The
HopID releases in tb_path_free then operate on freed IDAs and trigger
warnings like
ida_free called for id=8 which is not allocated.
This can be triggered by unbinding the driver while a DP tunnel is still
waiting for the DPRX capabilities read to finish. On the Apple NHI
unplugging the cable runs into just that reliably because the read can
never finish right now and because the unplug powers down the entire
USB4 complex and removes the NHI device.
Take a router reference whenever an input or output HopID is allocated
and drop it again after the HopID is released. This keeps the ports and
their HopID IDAs alive for as long as they are used.
The KUnit tests allocate routers without ever registering their devices
so initialize the embedded struct device there as well and drop its
initial reference when the test is finished.
