4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Alexandre Belloni <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 201fac95e799c3d0304ec724d555e1251b9f6e84 ] The probe function is not allowed to fail after registering the RTC because the following may happen: CPU0: CPU1: sys_load_module() do_init_module() do_one_initcall() cmos_do_probe() rtc_device_register() __register_chrdev() cdev->owner = struct module* open("/dev/rtc0") rtc_device_unregister() module_put() free_module() module_free(mod->module_core) /* struct module *module is now freed */ chrdev_open() spin_lock(cdev_lock) cdev_get() try_module_get() module_is_live() /* dereferences already freed struct module* */ Switch to devm_rtc_allocate_device/rtc_register_device to register the rtc as late as possible.
