[PATCH] soc: fsl: dpio: Free the IRQ before releasing the I/O object

From: Myeonghun Pak <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-17 20:01:49
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, lkml
Subsystem: freescale soc drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Christophe Leroy, Linus Torvalds

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 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.
