[PATCH 3/3] platform/x86/intel/tpmi/plr: Prevent fault during unbind
From: Srinivas Pandruvada
Date: Wed Apr 29 2026 - 15:53:23 EST
This driver faults when intel vsec driver unbound from PCI driver
interface. For example:
echo 0000:00:03.1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/intel_vsec/unbind
This is caused by accessing plr->dbgfs_dir after vsec_tpmi driver is
removed. Here vsec_tpmi driver is the parent. On unbind, the parent
device remove callback is called first which here will remove debugfs
interface. Hence plr->dbgfs_dir is no longer valid.
Register notifier for TPMI_CORE_EXIT and make this pointer to NULL,
so that debugfs_remove_recursive() is not called with bad plr->dbgfs_dir
pointer.
After notifier is returned the vsec_tpmi driver will call remove debugfs
by calling debugfs_remove_recursive().
