[PATCH net v2 2/4] ieee802154: cc2520: flush fifop_irqwork before destroying buffer_mutex in probe

From: Hui Peng <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-21 07:42:09
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: cc2520 ieee-802.15.4 radio driver, ieee 802.15.4 subsystem, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Stefan Schmidt, Alexander Aring, Miquel Raynal, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

In cc2520_probe()'s err_hw_init path, mutex_destroy(&priv->buffer_mutex)
is called before flush_work(&priv->fifop_irqwork). If fifop_irq fires
after devm_request_irq() and schedules priv->fifop_irqwork before probe
fails, cc2520_fifop_irqwork() can lock priv->buffer_mutex after it has
already been destroyed:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in assign_work+0x2f1/0x340
  Read of size 8 at addr ffff88800246b0b0 by task kworker/1:1/43
  Workqueue:  0x0 (events)
  Call Trace:
   <TASK>
   dump_stack_lvl+0x70/0xa0
   print_report+0x153/0x4c6
   kasan_report+0xf1/0x120
   assign_work+0x2f1/0x340
   worker_thread+0x2b8/0xb70

Flush priv->fifop_irqwork before mutex_destroy(&priv->buffer_mutex),
matching the teardown order in cc2520_remove().

Tested in QEMU with KASAN enabled by scheduling fifop_irqwork on the
cc2520_probe() error path.
