Hi Suzuki,

Could you confirm if this patch was queued in coresight/next or upstream of the mainline?

I couldn't find it in: kernel/git/coresight/linux.git or Kernel v6.14.0- rc4.

Maybe am I missing some information?

Apologies, I missed queueing this. That said, I have a minor comment on the patch below.


Best regards,
Junhao.

The coresight_init_driver() of the coresight-core module is called from
the sub coresgiht device (such as tmc/stm/funnle/...) module. It calls
amba_driver_register() and Platform_driver_register(), which are macro
functions that use the coresight-core's module to initialize the caller's
owner field.  Therefore, when the sub coresight device calls
coresight_init_driver(), an incorrect THIS_MODULE value is captured.

The sub coesgiht modules can be removed while their callbacks are
running, resulting in a general protection failure.

Add module parameter to coresight_init_driver() so can be called
with the module of the callback.

Fixes: 075b7cd7ad7d ("coresight: Add helpers registering/removing both AMBA and platform drivers")

Thanks for the fix, looks good to me. I will queue this for v6.13

minor nit:

Could we make the coresight_init_driver() a static inline or even a
macro to automatically add the THIS_MODULE param ?

Something like:

#define coresight_init_driver(name, amba_drv, pdev_drv)
coresight_init_driver_owner(name, amba_drv, pdev_drv, THIS_MODULE)

I could respin this and queue the change.
