Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: firmware: arm_scmi: Quiesce notifications before teardown scmi_notification_exit() clears and releases the notification instance, but transport callbacks can still deliver incoming notifications until the TX/RX channels are freed. During remove, an RX interrupt in that window can enter scmi_notify() while notification state is being torn down and then dereference freed memory. The same ordering exists on the probe error path after notification initialization. The notification late-init worker has a separate lifetime issue: protocol event registration queues ni->init_work on the system workqueue, so destroying ni->notify_wq does not drain that work. If the devres group is released while init_work is still pending or running, the late-init worker can dereference the freed notification instance. Quiesce the notification core before TX/RX channels are torn down, then clean up the channels before releasing the notification core resources. Use disable_work_sync() so future late-init queueing is rejected and any already queued or running late-init work has completed before channel teardown starts.
