CVE-2026-80939CVE-2026-80939
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtw89: pci: add .shutdown callback to stop rfkill polling on reboot
Since the hardware rfkill polling was introduced, arm64 platforms can
panic with an asynchronous SError during warm reboot:
SError Interrupt on CPU8, code 0x00000000be000011 -- SError
Workqueue: events_power_efficient rfkill_poll [rfkill]
rtw89_pci_ops_read8+0x94/0x160 [rtw89_pci]
rtw89_core_rfkill_poll+0x50/0x1e0 [rtw89_core]
rtw89_ops_rfkill_poll+0x40/0x68 [rtw89_core]
ieee80211_rfkill_poll+0x3c/0x70 [mac80211]
cfg80211_rfkill_poll+0x40/0x2a0 [cfg80211]
rfkill_poll+0x30/0x88 [rfkill]
Kernel panic - not syncing: Asynchronous SError Interrupt
On the reboot path the kernel only runs device_shutdown(), which calls
each driver's .shutdown callback; .remove is not invoked. The rtw89 PCI
driver had no .shutdown callback, so nothing stopped the rfkill polling
work while the platform was tearing the PCIe link down. On
