pl011_shutdown() calls pl011_rs485_tx_stop() when RS485 is enabled and
the transmit state machine is still active. That function may re-arm
the trigger_stop_tx hrtimer via hrtimer_start() when the TX FIFO is not
yet empty, or when delay_rts_after_send is configured, and the trigger
timers can equally be left armed from a prior pl011_rs485_tx_start().
On removal, uart_remove_one_port() can finish without draining the RS485
hrtimers, and devm frees the uart_amba_port once pl011_remove() returns.
The existing teardown syncs do not help here: pl011_disable_interrupts()
only masks the UART IMSC register, pl011_dma_shutdown() cancels a
different (DMA rx) timer_list, and free_irq() plus serial_core's
synchronize_irq() only drain the UART interrupt handler, not the hrtimer
softirq callbacks. Either trigger callback can therefore recover uap
from its embedded hrtimer and access uap->port after the free.
Cancel both RS485 trigger hrtimers in pl011_shutdown(), after the
re-arming pl011_rs485_tx_stop() call and before free_irq(), and again
in pl011_remove() after uart_remove_one_port(). The remove-side
calls cover paths such as suspend followed by unbind, where serial
core need not invoke the driver's shutdown callback. The
callbacks pl011_trigger_start_tx and pl011_trigger_stop_tx return
HRTIMER_NORESTART, so hrtimer_cancel() fully drains any pending and
concurrently running callback without a self-restart loop. As
pl011_trigger_start_tx() may re-enable the TX interrupt via
pl011_start_tx(), call pl011_disable_interrupts() again after the
cancels to re-mask IMSC before free_irq(). The cancel site does not
hold uart_port_lock across the cancel
(pl011_disable_interrupts() already released it) and the callbacks take
that lock internally, so there is no self-deadlock. This mirrors the
RS485 teardown pattern in 8250_port.c (serial8250_em485_destroy),
which cancels both hrtimers before the embedding object is freed.
This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.
