Bug description:
[Impact]
Disconnecting a thunderbolt docking station on a Dell Inc. XPS 13
9360/0D4J15 can cause a general protection fault (with kernel 5.3.0-40
and above).
The bug has been introduced by this upstream commit:
ffe3bcaf02c4 ptp: fix the race between the release of ptp_clock and
cdev
Reverting the commit is not a viable option, because we would re-
introduce another bug.
The proper fix is to do something similar to this:
75718584cb3c64e6269109d4d54f888ac5a5fd15 "ptp: free ptp device pin
descriptors properly"
and call pps_unregister_source() in ptp_clock_release(). NOTE: this
bug is also present upstream.
[Test case]
Bug reported provided the test case by physically disconnecting the
docking station. The problems can be easily reproduced and it doesn't
seem to happen anymore with the fix applied.
[Fix]
Call call pps_unregister_source() from ptp_clock_release() instead of
ptp_clock_unregister().
[Regression potential]
Minimal regression potential, the change is limited to the ptp clock
unregistering code path.
[Original report]
happens each time on kernel 5.3.0-40 when I disconnect thunderbolt docking
station.
Does *not* happen on 5.3.0-28.
After it happens almost everything still works ok: the only malfunction I've
noticed is that after reconnecting the dock, USB devices (mouse, keyboard)
connected via the dock don't work at all. However monitor connected via the
dock still works fine.
Hardware essentials:
Dell Inc. XPS 13 9360/0D4J15, BIOS 2.13.0
Plugable TBT3-UDV Docking Station
Does not happen when disconnecting "simpler" devices like apple's
usb-c to hdmi/usb/usb-c adapter.
