[PATCH] HID: intel-ish-hid: ipc: Fix potential use-after-free in work function

From: Reka Norman
Date: Sun Feb 26 2023 - 21:50:22 EST


When a reset notify IPC message is received, the ISR schedules a work
function and passes the ISHTP device to it via a global pointer
ishtp_dev. If ish_probe() fails, the devm-managed device resources
including ishtp_dev are freed, but the work is not cancelled, causing a
use-after-free when the work function tries to access ishtp_dev. Use
devm_work_autocancel() instead, so that the work is automatically
cancelled if probe fails.
