mei: pull kvfree out of spinlock

2026-08-19T16:18:13+00:00

commit b0495bb58af06a7de4628c72d500e3d5e180d808 upstream. The read buffer allocation was changed from kmalloc() to kvmalloc(). This buffer is part of mei_cl_cb structure that can be queued in rd_complete queue protected by spinlock. Releasing the structure leads to errors like below when freeing buffer that allocated non-contiguous: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/vmalloc.c:3448 Separate mei_cl_cb structure dequeue and release to perform only dequeue under spinlock and push release out of spinlock.

mei: bus: access mei_device under device_lock on cleanup

2026-08-03T09:22:00+00:00

commit f112ea910e554d58b4b39a4492b7d302f0f4204f upstream. Fix couple of problems in mei_cl_bus_dev_release(): mei_cl_flush_queues() is running without lock. bus->file_list access after mei_dev_bus_put(bus) can become a use-after-free if this was the last reference to bus. Protect queues cleanup and WARN traversal by device lock there to avoid the concurrent access problems. Move WARN traversal before mei_dev_bus_put(bus). This file uses bus variable name for mei_device, adjust code of mei_cl_bus_dev_release() to use bus variable too.

mei: me: reduce the scope on unexpected reset

2026-04-11T12:26:41+00:00

commit 8c27b1bce059a11a8d3c8682984e13866f0714af upstream. After commit 2cedb296988c ("mei: me: trigger link reset if hw ready is unexpected") some devices started to show long resume times (5-7 seconds). This happens as mei falsely detects unready hardware, starts parallel link reset flow and triggers link reset timeouts in the resume callback. Address it by performing detection of unready hardware only when driver is in the MEI_DEV_ENABLED state instead of blacklisting states as done in the original patch. This eliminates active waitqueue check as in MEI_DEV_ENABLED state there will be no active waitqueue. Reviewed-by: Rafael J.

mei: trace: treat reg parameter as string

2026-01-30T09:32:25+00:00

commit 06d5a7afe1d0b47102936d8fba568572c2b4b941 upstream. The commit afd2627f727b ("tracing: Check "%s" dereference via the field and not the TP_printk format") forbids to emit event with a plain char* without a wrapper. The reg parameter always passed as static string and wrapper is not strictly required, contrary to dev parameter. Use the string wrapper anyway to check sanity of the reg parameters, store it value independently and prevent internal kernel data leaks. Since some code refactoring has taken place, explicit backporting may be needed for kernels older than 6.10.

mei: Fix error handling in mei_register

2026-01-02T11:57:15+00:00

commit a6dab2f61d23c1eb32f1d08fa7b4919a2478950b upstream. mei_register() fails to release the device reference in error paths after device_initialize(). During normal device registration, the reference is properly handled through mei_deregister() which calls device_destroy(). However, in error handling paths (such as cdev_alloc failure, cdev_add failure, etc.), missing put_device() calls cause reference count leaks, preventing the device's release function (mei_device_release) from being called and resulting in memory leaks of mei_device. Found by code review.
