rpmsg: char: Fix race between the release of rpmsg_ctrldev and cdev
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
struct rpmsg_ctrldev contains a struct cdev. The current code frees
the rpmsg_ctrldev struct in rpmsg_ctrldev_release_device(), but the
cdev is a managed object, therefore its release is not predictable
and the rpmsg_ctrldev could be freed before the cdev is entirely
released, as in the backtrace below.

The cdev_device_add/del() API was created to address this issue (see
commit '233ed09d7fda ("chardev: add helper function to register char
devs with a struct device")'), use it instead of cdev add/del().

Fixes: c0cdc19 ("rpmsg: Driver for user space endpoint interface")
