P\u00e1nico del kernel - no sincroniza: Vaya - ERROR: Excepci\u00f3n fatal Esto sucede porque pps_device_destruct() libera el pps_device con el cdev integrado inmediatamente despu\u00e9s de llamar a cdev_del(), pero, como se\u00f1ala el comentario anterior a cdev_del(), los fops para cdevs abiertos previamente a\u00fan se pueden llamar incluso despu\u00e9s de que cdev_del() regrese. Creo que este error siempre ha estado ah\u00ed: no puedo explicar por qu\u00e9 de repente empez\u00f3 a suceder cada vez que reinicio esta placa en particular. En el commit d953e0e837e6 (\"pps: Arreglar un error de use after free al anular el registro de una fuente\"), George Spelvin sugiri\u00f3 eliminar el cdev integrado. Esa parece la forma m\u00e1s sencilla de solucionarlo, as\u00ed que he implementado su sugerencia, utilizando __register_chrdev() con pps_idr convirti\u00e9ndose en la fuente de verdad para la cual el menor corresponde a qu\u00e9 dispositivo. Pero ahora que pps_idr define la visibilidad del espacio de usuario en lugar de cdev_add(), debemos asegurarnos de que el recuento de referencias pps-&gt;dev no pueda llegar a cero mientras que el espacio de usuario a\u00fan pueda encontrarlo de nuevo. Entonces, la llamada idr_remove() se mueve a pps_unregister_cdev(), y pps_idr ahora contiene una referencia a pps-&gt;dev. pps_core: la fuente serial1 obtuvo cdev (251:1) &lt;...&gt; pps pps1: eliminado pps_core: anulando el registro de pps1 pps_core: desasignando pps1"}], "lastModified": "2025-11-03T20:16:56.110", "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "F30D9EA1-4994-473E-A545-65A9115E1E8F", "versionEndExcluding": "3.3", "versionStartIncluding": "3.2.40"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "82A29D36-DB24-4F3A-B7BE-9EA0D97422CF", "versionEndExcluding": "3.5", "versionStartIncluding": "3.4.87"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "98C64726-8808-4F3E-A113-B248DE97B184", "versionEndExcluding": "5.4.291", "versionStartIncluding": "3.8.1"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "545121FA-DE31-4154-9446-C2000FB4104D", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.235", "versionStartIncluding": "5.5"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "C708062C-4E1B-465F-AE6D-C09C46400875", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.179", "versionStartIncluding": "5.11"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "2DA5009C-C9B9-4A1D-9B96-78427E8F232C", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.129", "versionStartIncluding": "5.16"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "A6D70701-9CB6-4222-A957-00A419878993", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.76", "versionStartIncluding": "6.2"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "2897389C-A8C3-4D69-90F2-E701B3D66373", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.13", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "6D4116B1-1BFD-4F23-BA84-169CC05FC5A3", "versionEndExcluding": "6.13.2", "versionStartIncluding": "6.13"}], "operator": "OR"}]}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"}
