This driver's probe() uses a mix of devm_ and non-devm_ functions. This
means that the remove order will not be the exact opposite of the probe
order.

Remove order:
1. remove() executes:
	iio_device_unregister
	iio_triggered_buffer_cleanup
	iio_trigger_unregister
	(A)
2. core frees devm resources in reverse order:
	free_irq
	iio_trigger_free
	iio_device_free

In (A) the trigger has been unregistered, but the irq handler is still
registered and active, so the trigger may still be touched via
interrupt -> as3935_event_work. This is a potential use-after-unregister.

Given that the delayed work is never canceled explicitly, it may run even
after iio_device_free. This is a potential use-after-free.

Solution: convert all probe functions to their devm_ equivalents.
Add a devm callback, called by the core on remove right after irq_free,
which explicitly cancels the delayed work. This will guarantee that all
resources are freed in the correct order.

As an added bonus, some boilerplate code can be removed.

Any specific reason for moving this elsewhere?

You can fix arguments alignment while you are at it.

Yes. On the remove path, cancel_delayed_work_sync() should execute after
free_irq(), but before triggered_buffer_cleanup(). So the devm_add_action()
must run right before devm_request_irq(). I figured it would make sense to
group the devm_add_action() and INIT_WORK() together, as they are
related. This also makes it easier to understand the probe/remove order
when reading the code.

What type of alignment would you prefer? This?

        ret = devm_iio_triggered_buffer_setup(&spi->dev, indio_dev,
                                              iio_pollfunc_store_time,

So perhaps that change deserves a separate patch because it smells like
a code cleanup.

Yes, this is what I've been thinking about. Thanks.

Not really. This patch fixes the order in which resources are torn
down on release().
You do this by fixing the order by which devm-resources are allocated
on probe().

So it's a fundamental use-after-free fix, and not really a cleanup.
But I'm happy to split into multiple patches if you want ?

What I meant is that delayed work initialization could stay where it was.
The reason you moved it is readability improvement so to me it is more
of a cleanup hence I suggested a separate patch. Up to you.

Ah, I see what you mean now.

I'm ok with splitting this up, but we should probably ask the maintainer
(Jonathan) what he prefers, because he's the one who will have to take
two small patches instead of one. And the second patch is a one-liner.

I don't mind either way (definitely a marginal case!) but as we have
this one and the alignment tidy up is trivial...

Applied with the alignment tweaked to the togreg branch of iio.git
and pushed out as testing.

I'm not taking this the fast way or proposing it for stable as
whilst the race is there, I don't think anyone has actually managed
to trigger it.

Thanks,

Jonathan
