[ Upstream commit 637392a8506a3a7dd24ab9094a14f7522adb73b4 ]

No changeset entries are created for #address-cells and #size-cells
properties, but the duplicated properties are never freed.  This
results in a memory leak which is detected by kmemleak:

 unreferenced object 0x85887180 (size 64):

commit f96278810150fc39085d1872e5b39ea06366d03e upstream.

Overlay nodes added by add_changeset_node() do not have the node
fields name, phandle, and type set.

The node passed to __of_attach_node() when the add node changeset
entry is processed does not contain any properties.  The node's
properties are located in add property changeset entries that will
be processed after the add node changeset is applied.

Set the node's fields in the node contained in the add node
changeset entry and do not set them to incorrect values in
add_changeset_node().

A visible symptom that is fixed by this patch is the names of nodes
added by overlays that have an entry in /sys/bus/platform/drivers/*/
will contain the unit-address but the node-name will be &lt;NULL&gt;,  for
example, "fc4ab000.&lt;NULL&gt;".  After applying the patch the name, in
this example, for node restart@fc4ab000 is "fc4ab000.restart".

commit 6f75118800acf77f8ad6afec61ca1b2349ade371 upstream.

If overlay properties #address-cells or #size-cells are already in
the live devicetree for any given node, then the values in the
overlay must match the values in the live tree.

If the properties are already in the live tree then there is no
need to create a changeset entry to add them since they must
have the same value.  This reduces the memory used by the
changeset and eliminates a possible memory leak.

commit 8814dc46bd9e347d4de55ec5bf8f16ea54470499 upstream.

When allocating a new node, add_changeset_node() was duplicating the
properties from the respective node in the overlay instead of
allocating a node with no properties.

When this patch is applied the errors reported by the devictree
unittest from patch "of: overlay: add tests to validate kfrees from
overlay removal" will no longer occur.  These error messages are of
the form:

   "OF: ERROR: ..."

and the unittest results will change from:

   ### dt-test ### end of unittest - 203 passed, 7 failed

to

   ### dt-test ### end of unittest - 210 passed, 0 failed

commit 6b4955ba7bc05e40c8c41071cc121bc26ca65277 upstream.

The changeset entry 'update property' was used for new properties in
an overlay instead of 'add property'.

The decision of whether to use 'update property' was based on whether
the property already exists in the subtree where the node is being
spliced into.  At the top level of creating a changeset describing the
overlay, the target node is in the live devicetree, so checking whether
the property exists in the target node returns the correct result.
As soon as the changeset creation algorithm recurses into a new node,
the target is no longer in the live devicetree, but is instead in the
detached overlay tree, thus all properties are incorrectly found to
already exist in the target.

This fix will expose another devicetree bug that will be fixed
in the following patch in the series.

When this patch is applied the errors reported by the devictree
unittest will change, and the unittest results will change from:

   ### dt-test ### end of unittest - 210 passed, 0 failed

to

   ### dt-test ### end of unittest - 203 passed, 7 failed

commit 144552c786925314c1e7cb8f91a71dae1aca8798 upstream.

Add checks:
  - attempted kfree due to refcount reaching zero before overlay
    is removed
  - properties linked to an overlay node when the node is removed
  - node refcount &gt; one during node removal in a changeset destroy,
    if the node was created by the changeset

After applying this patch, several validation warnings will be
reported from the devicetree unittest during boot due to
pre-existing devicetree bugs. The warnings will be similar to:

  OF: ERROR: of_node_release(), unexpected properties in /testcase-data/overlay-node/test-bus/test-unittest11
  OF: ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 2, of_node_get()/of_node_put() unbalanced - destroy cset entry: attach overlay node /testcase-data-2/substation@100/

[ Upstream commit 7c528e457d53c75107d5aa56892316d265c778de ]

The refcount of a newly added overlay node decrements to one
(instead of zero) when the overlay changeset is destroyed.  This
change will cause the final decrement be to zero.

After applying this patch, new validation warnings will be
reported from the devicetree unittest during boot due to
a pre-existing devicetree bug.  The warnings will be similar to:

  OF: ERROR: memory leak before free overlay changeset,  /testcase-data/overlay-node/test-bus/test-unittest4

This pre-existing devicetree bug will also trigger a WARN_ONCE() from
refcount_sub_and_test_checked() when an overlay changeset is
destroyed without having first been applied.  This scenario occurs
when an error in the overlay is detected during the overlay changeset
creation:

Only the overlay notifier callbacks have a chance to potentially get
hold of references to those two resources, but they are not supposed to
store them beyond OF_OVERLAY_POST_REMOVE.

Document the overlay notifier API, its constraint regarding pointer
lifetime, and then remove intentional leaks of ovcs-&gt;overlay_tree and
ovcs-&gt;fdt from free_overlay_changeset.
