This leaves\namd_pmc_s2idle_dev_ops on the global lps0_s2idle_devops_head list and leaks\nthe debugfs directory, while the devm-managed resources backing the handler\nare torn down.\n\nReloading the module then walks the corrupted list in\nacpi_register_lps0_dev() and hits:\n\n  list_add corruption. next->prev should be prev, but was NULL.\n  kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:29!\n   acpi_register_lps0_dev+0x44/0x80\n   amd_pmc_probe+0x224/0x380 [amd_pmc]\n   platform_probe+0x67/0x90\n\nEven without a reload, the stale registration means the next s2idle\ntransition calls into torn-down driver state.\n\nUnwind the debugfs directory and the LPS0 registration on the\namd_stb_s2d_init() error path.  acpi_unregister_lps0_dev() is safe to call\nunconditionally here: it is guarded on the same conditions as\nacpi_register_lps0_dev(), which is exactly what amd_pmc_remove() already\nrelies on.","published":"2026-09-11T20:19:10.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-19T09:17:35.000Z","status":"Received","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":[],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00175,"percentile":0.06963,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.18%).
