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.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/30e5f4d0cd0be655c800f10ae3e530391aa6c1b5","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/76f650a76d6a36a4bee79d94db90a0e935a95477","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bc9aa5fe21c3966c80647ed6574b94b863f23c62","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d201c09c2428a4a8fd3bdcb032ae99f1e016458c"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:53:43.293028046+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-81015","score":0.00175,"percentile":0.06965,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
