[PATCH v2] mmc: vub300: fix use-after-free in vub300 teardown
From: Adriano Cordova
Date: Tue Sep 08 2026 - 12:51:22 EST
mmc_host_classdev_release() reads host->parent->of_node, but the
parent is not guaranteed to outlive the host. Instead, store
host->index_is_alias to avoid reading the parent at release time.
Also, call kref_put() after mmc_request_done(), as the latter
dereferences the host pointer.
Fixes: 88095e7b473a ("mmc: Add new VUB300 USB-to-SD/SDIO/MMC driver")
