From 5c9ecd8e6437cd55a38ea4f1e1d19cee8e226cb8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gui-Dong Han Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2026 11:19:43 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] PM: sleep: wakeirq: harden dev_pm_clear_wake_irq() against races dev_pm_clear_wake_irq() currently uses a dangerous pattern where dev->power.wakeirq is read and checked for NULL outside the lock. If two callers invoke this function concurrently, both might see a valid pointer and proceed. This could result in a double-free when the second caller acquires the lock and tries to release the same object. Address this by removing the lockless check of dev->power.wakeirq. Instead, acquire dev->power.lock immediately to ensure the check and the subsequent operations are atomic. If dev->power.wakeirq is NULL under the lock, simply unlock and return. This guarantees that concurrent calls cannot race to free the same object. Based on a quick scan of current users, I did not find an actual bug as drivers seem to rely on their own synchronization. However, since asynchronous usage patterns exist (e.g., in drivers/net/wireless/ti/wlcore), I believe a race is theoretically possible if the API is used less carefully in the future. This change hardens the API to be robust against such cases.
