device property: Track owner device of device property

2017-10-18T07:38:29+00:00

commit 5ab894aee0f171a682bcd90dd5d1930cb53c55dc upstream. Deletion of subdevice will remove device properties associated to parent when they share the same firmware node after commit 478573c93abd (driver core: Don't leak secondary fwnode on device removal). This was observed with a driver adding subdevice that driver wasn't able to read device properties after rmmod/modprobe cycle. Consider the lifecycle of it: parent device registration ACPI_COMPANION_SET() device_add_properties() pset_copy_set() set_secondary_fwnode(dev, &p->fwnode) device_add() parent probe read device properties ACPI_COMPANION_SET(subdevice, ACPI_COMPANION(parent)) device_add(subdevice) parent remove device_del(subdevice) device_remove_properties() set_secondary_fwnode(dev, NULL); pset_free() Parent device will have its primary firmware node pointing to an ACPI node and secondary firmware node point to device properties. ACPI_COMPANION_SET() call in parent probe will set the subdevice's firmware node to point to the same 'struct fwnode_handle' and the associated secondary firmware node, i.e. the device properties as the parent. When subdevice is deleted in parent remove that will remove those device properties and attempt to read device properties in next parent probe call will fail. Fix this by tracking the owner device of device properties and delete them only when owner device is being deleted.

base: arch_topology: fix section mismatch build warnings

commit 452562abb5b76c14449dead2a7113f641893e8bc upstream. Commit 2ef7a2953c81 ("arm, arm64: factorize common cpu capacity default code") introduced init_cpu_capacity_callback and init_cpu_capacity_notifier which are referenced from initcall and are missing __init{,data} annotations resulting the below section mismatch build warnings. "WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xbab790): Section mismatch in reference from the function init_cpu_capacity_callback() to the variable .init.text:$x The function init_cpu_capacity_callback() references the variable __init $x. This is often because init_cpu_capacity_callback lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of $x is wrong." This patch fixes the above build warnings by adding the required annotations.

driver core: platform: Don't read past the end of "driver_override" buffer

2017-10-12T09:56:14+00:00

commit bf563b01c2895a4bfd1a29cc5abc67fe706ecffd upstream. When printing the driver_override parameter when it is 4095 and 4094 bytes long, the printing code would access invalid memory because we need count+1 bytes for printing. Reject driver_override values of these lengths in driver_override_store(). This is in close analogy to commit 4efe874aace5 ("PCI: Don't read past the end of sysfs "driver_override" buffer") from Sasha Levin.

PM / OPP: Call notifier without holding opp_table->lock

2017-10-05T07:47:35+00:00

commit e4d8ae00169f7686e1da5a62e5cf797d12bf8822 upstream. The notifier callbacks may want to call some OPP helper routines which may try to take the same opp_table->lock again and cause a deadlock. One such usecase was reported by Chanwoo Choi, where calling dev_pm_opp_disable() leads us to the devfreq's OPP notifier handler, which further calls dev_pm_opp_find_freq_floor() and it deadlocks. We don't really need the opp_table->lock to be held across the notifier call though, all we want to make sure is that the 'opp' doesn't get freed while being used from within the notifier chain. We can do it with help of dev_pm_opp_get/put() as well. Let's do it.

PM: core: Fix device_pm_check_callbacks()

commit 157c460e10cb6eca29ccbd0f023db159d0c55ec7 upstream. The device_pm_check_callbacks() function doesn't check legacy ->suspend and ->resume callback pointers under the device's bus type, class and driver, so in some cases it may set the no_pm_callbacks flag for the device incorrectly and then the callbacks may be skipped during system suspend/resume, which shouldn't happen.

Revert "firmware: add sanity check on shutdown/suspend"

2017-09-13T21:20:53+00:00

commit f007cad159e99fa2acd3b2e9364fbb32ad28b971 upstream. This reverts commit 81f95076281fdd3bc382e004ba1bce8e82fccbce. It causes random failures of firmware loading at resume time (well, random for me, it seems to be more reliable for others) because the firmware disabling is not actually synchronous with any particular resume event, and at least the btusb driver that uses a workqueue to load the firmware at resume seems to occasionally hit the "firmware loading is disabled" logic because the firmware loader hasn't gotten the resume event yet. Some kind of sanity check for not trying to load firmware when it's not possible might be a good thing, but this commit was not it. Greg seems to have silently suffered the same issue, and pointed to the likely culprit, and Gabriel C verified the revert fixed it for him too.

firmware: avoid invalid fallback aborts by using killable wait

2017-08-10T20:54:16+00:00

Commit 0cb64249ca500 ("firmware_loader: abort request if wait_for_completion is interrupted") added via 4.0 added support to abort the fallback mechanism when a signal was detected and wait_for_completion_interruptible() returned -ERESTARTSYS -- for instance when a user hits CTRL-C. The abort was overly *too* effective. When a child process terminates (successful or not) the signal SIGCHLD can be sent to the parent process which ran the child in the background and later triggered a sync request for firmware through a sysfs interface which relies on the fallback mechanism. This signal in turn can be recieved by the interruptible wait we constructed on firmware_class and detects it as an abort *before* userspace could get a chance to write the firmware. Upon failure -EAGAIN is returned, so userspace is also kept in the dark about exactly what happened. We can reproduce the issue with the fw_fallback.sh selftest: Before this patch: $ sudo tools/testing/selftests/firmware/fw_fallback.sh ... tools/testing/selftests/firmware/fw_fallback.sh: error - sync firmware request cancelled due to SIGCHLD After this patch: $ sudo tools/testing/selftests/firmware/fw_fallback.sh ... tools/testing/selftests/firmware/fw_fallback.sh: SIGCHLD on sync ignored as expected Fix this by making the wait killable -- only killable by SIGKILL (kill -9). We loose the ability to allow userspace to cancel a write with CTRL-C (SIGINT), however its been decided the compromise to require SIGKILL is worth the gains. Chances of this issue occuring are low due to the number of drivers upstream exclusively relying on the fallback mechanism for firmware (2 drivers), however this is observed in the field with custom drivers with sysfs triggers to load firmware. Only distributions relying on the fallback mechanism are impacted as well. An example reported issue was on Android, as follows: 1) Android init (pid=1) fork()s (say pid=42) [this child process is totally unrelated to firmware loading, it could be sleep 2; for all we care ] 2) Android init (pid=1) does a write() on a (driver custom) sysfs file which ends up calling request_firmware() kernel side 3) The firmware loading fallback mechanism is used, the request is sent to userspace and pid 1 waits in the kernel on wait_* 4) before firmware loading completes pid 42 dies (for any reason, even normal termination) 5) Kernel delivers SIGCHLD to pid=1 to tell it a child has died, which causes -ERESTARTSYS to be returned from wait_* 6) The kernel's wait aborts and return -EAGAIN for the request_firmware() caller.

firmware: fix batched requests - send wake up on failure on direct lookups

2017-08-10T20:54:16+00:00

Fix batched requests from waiting forever on failure. The firmware API batched requests feature has been broken since the API call request_firmware_direct() was introduced on commit bba3a87e982ad ("firmware: Introduce request_firmware_direct()"), added on v3.14 *iff* the firmware being requested was not present in *certain kernel builds* [0]. When no firmware is found the worker which goes on to finish never informs waiters queued up of this, so any batched request will stall in what seems to be forever (MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT). Sadly, a reboot will also stall, as the reboot notifier was only designed to kill custom fallback workers. The issue seems to the user as a type of soft lockup, what *actually* happens underneath the hood is a wait call which never completes as we failed to issue a completion on error. For device drivers with optional firmware schemes (ie, Intel iwlwifi, or Netronome -- even though it uses request_firmware() and not request_firmware_direct()), this could mean that when you boot a system with multiple cards the firmware will seem to never load on the system, or that the card is just not responsive even the driver initialization. Due to differences in scheduling possible this should not always trigger -- one would need to to ensure that multiple requests are in place at the right time for this to work, also release_firmware() must not be called prior to any other incoming request. The complexity may not be worth supporting batched requests in the future given the wait mechanism is only used also for the fallback mechanism. We'll keep it for now and just fix it. Its reported that at least with the Intel WiFi cards on one system this issue was creeping up 50% of the boots [0].
