However, on driver\nremove/teardown, the generic chips are not automatically freed when the\nIRQ domain is removed because the domain flags do not include\nIRQ_DOMAIN_FLAG_DESTROY_GC.\n\nThis causes both the domain generic chips structure and the associated\ngeneric chips to be leaked. Additionally, the generic chips remain on\nthe global gc_list and may later be visited by generic IRQ chip suspend,\nresume, or shutdown callbacks after the GPIO bank has been removed,\npotentially resulting in a use-after-free and kernel crash.\n\nFix the resource leak by explicitly calling\nirq_domain_remove_generic_chips() before removing the IRQ domain in\nrockchip_gpio_remove().\n\n## Affected\n\n- `linux_kernel >= 5.15, < 6.18.36`\n- `linux_kernel >= 6.19, < 7.0.13`\n- `linux_kernel = 7.1`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade past the affected range:\n\n- `linux_kernel 7.0.13`","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":30,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":30.3,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
