[PATCH v2 2/2] soc: fsl: dpio: Free the IRQ before releasing the I/O object
From: Myeonghun Pak
Date: Fri Oct 02 2026 - 15:49:07 EST
The DPIO interrupt handler accesses priv->io, but dpaa2_dpio_remove()
releases that object before tearing down the interrupts. The IRQ was
requested with devm_request_irq(), and unregister_dpio_irq_handlers()
only clears its affinity hint. fsl_mc_free_irqs() returns IRQ resources
to the MC resource pool without freeing the handler. An interrupt can
therefore access the freed I/O object before devres releases the IRQ.
Explicitly free the managed IRQ in unregister_dpio_irq_handlers() before
returning its resource to the pool, and perform IRQ teardown before
releasing the I/O object. This also waits for an in-flight handler while
the object is still valid.
This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research
while reviewing kernel code.

Changes in v2:
- Move devm_free_irq() into unregister_dpio_irq_handlers(), as suggested
by Ioana Ciornei, to keep IRQ registration and unregistration in sync.
- Base this patch on the probe cleanup fix in patch 1, which removes the
unregister call from the probe error path.
- Add Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
