Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: oc-tiny: switch to managed controller allocation
The controller is allocated with the non-managed spi_alloc_host() while
the interrupt is registered with devm_request_irq(). During removal,
spi_bitbang_stop() only unregisters the controller; the subsequent
spi_controller_put() then frees the controller together with its
embedded driver-private devdata, which is the IRQ handler's dev_id. The
devm_request_irq() release action (free_irq()), which drains the
handler, does not run until after .remove() returns. A late or latched
interrupt can therefore reach tiny_spi_irq() and dereference
already-freed memory (e.g. hw->base).
Switch to devm_spi_alloc_host() so that the devres LIFO order releases
the controller only after free_irq() has drained the handler, and drop
the now-redundant spi_controller_put() from .remove(). The probe error
path is simplified to direct returns.
This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.
