[PATCH v2 4/4] cdx: use generic driver_override infrastructure

From: Runyu Xiao <hidden>
Date: 2026-06-04 03:58:14
Also in: driver-core, linux-arm-msm, linux-remoteproc, lkml, stable
Subsystem: amd cdx bus driver, the rest · Maintainers: Nipun Gupta, Nikhil Agarwal, Linus Torvalds

CDX devices still keep driver_override in bus-private storage.

The sysfs write side updates that string through driver_set_override(),
which replaces the pointer and frees the old value. However,
driver_match_device() can call cdx_bus_match() from __driver_attach()
without holding the device lock, and cdx_bus_match() still dereferences
that private pointer directly.

That means the CDX match path can race with a concurrent
driver_override update and compare against freed memory.

Switch CDX to the driver-core driver_override infrastructure. This
removes the private driver_override storage, lets the core provide the
sysfs attribute, and uses device_match_driver_override() for the locked
read in cdx_bus_match().

Preserve the existing CDX override_only semantics: entries marked
override_only still require a matching driver_override, but ordinary ID
matches continue to work unchanged.
