<content type='text'>
commit f72e77c33e4b5657af35125e75bab249256030f3 upstream.

In various places in the kernel, we modify the fwnode "flags" member
by doing either:
  fwnode-&gt;flags |= SOME_FLAG;
  fwnode-&gt;flags &amp;= ~SOME_FLAG;

This type of modification is not thread-safe. If two threads are both
mucking with the flags at the same time then one can clobber the
other.

While flags are often modified while under the "fwnode_link_lock",
this is not universally true.

Create some accessor functions for setting, clearing, and testing the
FWNODE flags and move all users to these accessor functions. New
accessor functions use set_bit() and clear_bit(), which are
thread-safe.

<title>of: dynamic: Synchronize of_changeset_destroy() with the devlink removals</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7b6df050c45a1ea158fd50bc32a8e1447dd1e951</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 8917e7385346bd6584890ed362985c219fe6ae84 upstream.

In the following sequence:
  1) of_platform_depopulate()
  2) of_overlay_remove()

During the step 1, devices are destroyed and devlinks are removed.
During the step 2, OF nodes are destroyed but
__of_changeset_entry_destroy() can raise warnings related to missing
of_node_put():
  ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 2 ...

Indeed, during the devlink removals performed at step 1, the removal
itself releasing the device (and the attached of_node) is done by a job
queued in a workqueue and so, it is done asynchronously with respect to
function calls.
When the warning is present, of_node_put() will be called but wrongly
too late from the workqueue job.

In order to be sure that any ongoing devlink removals are done before
the of_node destruction, synchronize the of_changeset_destroy() with the
devlink removals.

commit 55e95bfccf6db8d26a66c46e1de50d53c59a6774 upstream.

Smatch complains that the error path where "action" is invalid leaks
the "ce" allocation:
    drivers/of/dynamic.c:935 of_changeset_action()
    warn: possible memory leak of 'ce'

Fix this by doing the validation before the allocation.

Note that there is not any actual problem with upstream kernels. All
callers of of_changeset_action() are static inlines with fixed action
values.

<title>treewide: Fix probing of devices in DT overlays</title>

<id>urn:sha1:59e0dd5bef6cda8cbe4abcfab145c562026a86c0</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 1a50d9403fb90cbe4dea0ec9fd0351d2ecbd8924 upstream.

When loading a DT overlay that creates a device, the device is not
probed, unless the DT overlay is unloaded and reloaded again.

After the recent refactoring to improve fw_devlink, it no longer depends
on the "compatible" property to identify which device tree nodes will
become struct devices.   fw_devlink now picks up dangling consumers
(consumers pointing to descendent device tree nodes of a device that
aren't converted to child devices) when a device is successfully bound
to a driver.  See __fw_devlink_pickup_dangling_consumers().

However, during DT overlay, a device's device tree node can have
sub-nodes added/removed without unbinding/rebinding the driver.  This
difference in behavior between the normal device instantiation and
probing flow vs. the DT overlay flow has a bunch of implications that
are pointed out elsewhere[1].  One of them is that the fw_devlink logic
to pick up dangling consumers is never exercised.

This patch solves the fw_devlink issue by marking all DT nodes added by
DT overlays with FWNODE_FLAG_NOT_DEVICE (fwnode that won't become
device), and by clearing the flag when a struct device is actually
created for the DT node.  This way, fw_devlink knows not to have
consumers waiting on these newly added DT nodes, and to propagate the
dependency to an ancestor DT node that has the corresponding struct
device.

Based on a patch by Saravana Kannan, which covered only platform and spi
devices.

<id>urn:sha1:c6b7d8902025a96e61c731dcb75dd8fb91c813e5</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 914d9d831e6126a6e7a92e27fcfaa250671be42c upstream.

While originally it was fine to format strings using "%pOF" while
holding devtree_lock, this now causes a deadlock.  Lockdep reports:

    of_get_parent from of_fwnode_get_parent+0x18/0x24
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    of_fwnode_get_parent from fwnode_count_parents+0xc/0x28
    fwnode_count_parents from fwnode_full_name_string+0x18/0xac
    fwnode_full_name_string from device_node_string+0x1a0/0x404
    device_node_string from pointer+0x3c0/0x534
    pointer from vsnprintf+0x248/0x36c
    vsnprintf from vprintk_store+0x130/0x3b4

Fix this by moving the printing in __of_changeset_entry_apply() outside
the lock. As the only difference in the multiple prints is the action
name, use the existing "action_names" to refactor the prints into a
single print.

Many of the DT kerneldoc comments are lacking a 'Return' section. Let's
add the section in cases we have a description of return values. There's
still some cases where the return values are not documented.

intended for internal use the driver core and generic firmware support
