[PATCH net 14/14] can: hi311x: drop hi3110_lock before free_irq() on open failure

From: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de>
Date: 2026-08-26 12:10:50
Also in: linux-can, stable
Subsystem: can network drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Marc Kleine-Budde, Vincent Mailhol, Linus Torvalds

From: Runyu Xiao <redacted>

hi3110_open() requests a threaded IRQ and then performs hardware
setup while holding priv->hi3110_lock. If reset, setup, or
normal-mode entry fails, the error path calls free_irq() while still
holding that mutex.

The threaded handler takes priv->hi3110_lock before checking
force_quit, while free_irq() waits for the threaded handler to finish.
That can deadlock the open() rollback path against a pending IRQ
thread.

Set force_quit, drop hi3110_lock before free_irq(), and take the
mutex again for the remaining hardware cleanup.
