cpufreq: Avoid cpufreq_suspend() deadlock on system shutdown

2019-10-29T08:22:45+00:00

commit 65650b35133ff20f0c9ef0abd5c3c66dbce3ae57 upstream. It is incorrect to set the cpufreq syscore shutdown callback pointer to cpufreq_suspend(), because that function cannot be run in the syscore stage of system shutdown for two reasons: (a) it may attempt to carry out actions depending on devices that have already been shut down at that point and (b) the RCU synchronization carried out by it may not be able to make progress then. The latter issue has been present since commit 45975c7d21a1 ("rcu: Define RCU-sched API in terms of RCU for Tree RCU PREEMPT builds"), but the former one has been there since commit 90de2a4aa9f3 ("cpufreq: suspend cpufreq governors on shutdown") regardless. Fix that by dropping cpufreq_syscore_ops altogether and making device_shutdown() call cpufreq_suspend() directly before shutting down devices, which is along the lines of what system-wide power management does.

Pull driver core fixes from Greg KH: "Here are two small fixes for some driver core issues that have been reported. There is also a kernfs "fix" here, which was then reverted because it was found to cause problems in linux-next. The driver core fixes both resolve reported issues, one with gpioint stuff that showed up in 5.3-rc1, and the other finally (and hopefully) resolves a very long standing race when removing glue directories. It's nice to get that issue finally resolved and the developers involved should be applauded for the persistence it took to get this patch finally accepted. All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues. Well, the one reported issue, hence the revert :)" * tag 'driver-core-5.3-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: Revert "kernfs: fix memleak in kernel_ops_readdir()" kernfs: fix memleak in kernel_ops_readdir() driver core: Fix use-after-free and double free on glue directory driver core: platform: return -ENXIO for missing GpioInt

driver core: Fix use-after-free and double free on glue directory

2019-07-30T16:44:47+00:00

There is a race condition between removing glue directory and adding a new device under the glue dir. It can be reproduced in following test: CPU1: CPU2: device_add() get_device_parent() class_dir_create_and_add() kobject_add_internal() create_dir() // create glue_dir device_add() get_device_parent() kobject_get() // get glue_dir device_del() cleanup_glue_dir() kobject_del(glue_dir) kobject_add() kobject_add_internal() create_dir() // in glue_dir sysfs_create_dir_ns() kernfs_create_dir_ns(sd) sysfs_remove_dir() // glue_dir->sd=NULL sysfs_put() // free glue_dir->sd // sd is freed kernfs_new_node(sd) kernfs_get(glue_dir) kernfs_add_one() kernfs_put() Before CPU1 remove last child device under glue dir, if CPU2 add a new device under glue dir, the glue_dir kobject reference count will be increase to 2 via kobject_get() in get_device_parent(). And CPU2 has been called kernfs_create_dir_ns(), but not call kernfs_new_node(). Meanwhile, CPU1 call sysfs_remove_dir() and sysfs_put(). This result in glue_dir->sd is freed and it's reference count will be 0. Then CPU2 call kernfs_get(glue_dir) will trigger a warning in kernfs_get() and increase it's reference count to 1. Because glue_dir->sd is freed by CPU1, the next call kernfs_add_one() by CPU2 will fail(This is also use-after-free) and call kernfs_put() to decrease reference count. Because the reference count is decremented to 0, it will also call kmem_cache_free() to free the glue_dir->sd again. This will result in double free. In order to avoid this happening, we also should make sure that kernfs_node for glue_dir is released in CPU1 only when refcount for glue_dir kobj is 1 to fix this race.

driver-core, libnvdimm: Let device subsystems add local lockdep coverage

2019-07-18T23:23:27+00:00

For good reason, the standard device_lock() is marked lockdep_set_novalidate_class() because there is simply no sane way to describe the myriad ways the device_lock() ordered with other locks. However, that leaves subsystems that know their own local device_lock() ordering rules to find lock ordering mistakes manually. Instead, introduce an optional / additional lockdep-enabled lock that a subsystem can acquire in all the same paths that the device_lock() is acquired. A conversion of the NFIT driver and NVDIMM subsystem to a lockdep-validate device_lock() scheme is included. The debug_nvdimm_lock() implementation implements the correct lock-class and stacking order for the libnvdimm device topology hierarchy. Yes, this is a hack, but hopefully it is a useful hack for other subsystems device_lock() debug sessions. Quoting Greg: "Yeah, it feels a bit hacky but it's really up to a subsystem to mess up using it as much as anything else, so user beware :) I don't object to it if it makes things easier for you to debug."

drivers/base: Introduce kill_device()

2019-07-18T23:21:01+00:00

The libnvdimm subsystem arranges for devices to be destroyed as a result of a sysfs operation. Since device_unregister() cannot be called from an actively running sysfs attribute of the same device libnvdimm arranges for device_unregister() to be performed in an out-of-line async context. The driver core maintains a 'dead' state for coordinating its own racing async registration / de-registration requests. Rather than add local 'dead' state tracking infrastructure to libnvdimm device objects, export the existing state tracking via a new kill_device() helper. The kill_device() helper simply marks the device as dead, i.e. that it is on its way to device_del(), or returns that the device was already dead. This can be used in advance of calling device_unregister() for subsystems like libnvdimm that might need to handle multiple user threads racing to delete a device. This refactoring does not change any behavior, but it is a pre-requisite for follow-on fixes and therefore marked for -stable. Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: "Rafael J.
