regulator: core: move supply check earlier in set_machine_constraints()

2026-03-04T12:19:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit 86a8eeb0e913f4b6a55dabba5122098d4e805e55 ] Since commit 98e48cd9283d ("regulator: core: resolve supply for boot-on/always-on regulators"), set_machine_constraints() can return -EPROBE_DEFER very late, after it has done a lot of work and configuration of the regulator. This means that configuration will happen multiple times for no benefit in that case. Furthermore, this can lead to timing-dependent voltage glitches as mentioned e.g. in commit 8a866d527ac0 ("regulator: core: Resolve supply name earlier to prevent double-init"). We can know that it's going to fail very early, in particular before going through the complete regulator configuration by moving some code around a little. Do so to avoid re-configuring the regulator multiple times, also avoiding the voltage glitches if we can.

regulator: core: Protect regulator_supply_alias_list with regulator_list_mutex

2026-01-11T14:21:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0cc15a10c3b4ab14cd71b779fd5c9ca0cb2bc30d ] regulator_supply_alias_list was accessed without any locking in regulator_supply_alias(), regulator_register_supply_alias(), and regulator_unregister_supply_alias(). Concurrent registration, unregistration and lookups can race, leading to: 1 use-after-free if an alias entry is removed while being read, 2 duplicate entries when two threads register the same alias, 3 inconsistent alias mappings observed by consumers. Protect all traversals, insertions and deletions on regulator_supply_alias_list with the existing regulator_list_mutex.

regulator: core: disable supply if enabling main regulator fails

2026-01-11T14:21:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit fb1ebb10468da414d57153ddebaab29c38ef1a78 ] For 'always-on' and 'boot-on' regulators, the set_machine_constraints() may enable supply before enabling the main regulator, however if the latter fails, the function returns with an error but the supply remains enabled. When this happens, the regulator_register() function continues on the error path where it puts the supply regulator. Since enabling the supply is not balanced with a disable call, a warning similar to the following gets issued from _regulator_put(): [ 1.603889] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 44 at _regulator_put+0x8c/0xa0 [ 1.603908] Modules linked in: [ 1.603926] CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 44 Comm: kworker/u16:3 Not tainted 6.18.0-rc4 #0 NONE [ 1.603938] Hardware name: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

regulator: core: fix NULL dereference on unbind due to stale coupling data

2025-08-01T08:47:28+00:00

[ Upstream commit ca46946a482238b0cdea459fb82fc837fb36260e ] Failing to reset coupling_desc.n_coupled after freeing coupled_rdevs can lead to NULL pointer dereference when regulators are accessed post-unbind. This can happen during runtime PM or other regulator operations that rely on coupling metadata. For example, on ridesx4, unbinding the 'reg-dummy' platform device triggers a panic in regulator_lock_recursive() due to stale coupling state. Ensure n_coupled is set to 0 to prevent access to invalid pointers.

regulator: check that dummy regulator has been probed before using it

commit 2c7a50bec4958f1d1c84d19cde518d0e96a676fd upstream. Due to asynchronous driver probing there is a chance that the dummy regulator hasn't already been probed when first accessing it.

regulator: core: fix debugfs creation regression

2024-05-17T10:02:36+00:00

commit 2a4b49bb58123bad6ec0e07b02845f74c23d5e04 upstream. regulator_get() may sometimes be called more than once for the same consumer device, something which before commit dbe954d8f163 ("regulator: core: Avoid debugfs: Directory ... already present! error") resulted in errors being logged. A couple of recent commits broke the handling of such cases so that attributes are now erroneously created in the debugfs root directory the second time a regulator is requested and the log is filled with errors like: debugfs: File 'uA_load' in directory '/' already present! debugfs: File 'min_uV' in directory '/' already present! debugfs: File 'max_uV' in directory '/' already present! debugfs: File 'constraint_flags' in directory '/' already present! on any further calls.

regulator: core: Only increment use_count when enable_count changes

2024-02-05T20:14:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7993d3a9c34f609c02171e115fd12c10e2105ff4 ] The use_count of a regulator should only be incremented when the enable_count changes from 0 to 1. Similarly, the use_count should only be decremented when the enable_count changes from 1 to 0. In the previous implementation, use_count was sometimes decremented to 0 when some consumer called unbalanced disable, leading to unexpected disable even the regulator is enabled by other consumers. With this change, the use_count accurately reflects the number of users which the regulator is enabled. This should make things more robust in the case where a consumer does leak references.
