CVE-2026-80660
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (occ) unregister sysfs devices outside occ lock
occ_active(false) and occ_shutdown() unregister sysfs-backed devices while occ->lock is held. hwmon_device_unregister() and sysfs_remove_group() can wait for active sysfs callbacks to drain, and those callbacks can enter the OCC update path and try to take occ->lock again. That gives the unregister paths the lock ordering occ->lock -> sysfs callback drain, while a callback has the opposite edge sysfs callback -> occ->lock.
This issue was found by our static analysis tool and then manually reviewed against the current tree.

The grounded PoC kept the real unregister and callback carrier:
Lockdep reported the circular dependency with occ_shutdown() already holding the OCC mutex and hwmon_device_unregister() waiting on the sysfs side:
Serialize hwmon registration and removal with a separate hwmon_lock. Under that lock, detach occ->hwmon and update occ->active while occ->lock is held so concurrent OCC state changes still see a stable state, then drop occ->lock before calling hwmon_device_unregister(). Remove the driver sysfs group before taking occ->lock in occ_shutdown(), so draining the driver attributes cannot wait while the OCC mutex is held. Also make OCC update callbacks return -ENODEV after deactivation, so callbacks that already passed sysfs active protection do not poll the hardware after teardown has detached the hwmon device.
