commit 15fffc6a5624b13b428bb1c6e9088e32a55eb82c upstream.

uevent_show() wants to de-reference dev-&gt;driver-&gt;name. There is no clean
way for a device attribute to de-reference dev-&gt;driver unless that
attribute is defined via (struct device_driver).dev_groups. Instead, the
anti-pattern of taking the device_lock() in the attribute handler risks
deadlocks with code paths that remove device attributes while holding
the lock.

This deadlock is typically invisible to lockdep given the device_lock()
is marked lockdep_set_novalidate_class(), but some subsystems allocate a
local lockdep key for @dev-&gt;mutex to reveal reports of the form:

The observation though is that driver objects are typically much longer
lived than device objects. It is reasonable to perform lockless
de-reference of a @driver pointer even if it is racing detach from a
device. Given the infrequency of driver unregistration, use
synchronize_rcu() in module_remove_driver() to close any potential
races.  It is potentially overkill to suffer synchronize_rcu() just to
handle the rare module removal racing uevent_show() event.

commit c0a40097f0bc81deafc15f9195d1fb54595cd6d0 upstream.

Synchronize the dev-&gt;driver usage in really_probe() and dev_uevent().
These can run in different threads, what can result in the following
race condition for dev-&gt;driver uninitialization:

Thread #1:
==========

really_probe() {
...
probe_failed:
...
device_unbind_cleanup(dev) {
    ...
    dev-&gt;driver = NULL;   // &lt;= Failed probe sets dev-&gt;driver to NULL
    ...
    }
...
}

Thread #2:
==========

dev_uevent() {
...
if (dev-&gt;driver)
      // If dev-&gt;driver is NULLed from really_probe() from here on,
      // after above check, the system crashes
      add_uevent_var(env, "DRIVER=%s", dev-&gt;driver-&gt;name);
...
}

really_probe() holds the lock, already. So nothing needs to be done
there. dev_uevent() is called with lock held, often, too. But not
always. What implies that we can't add any locking in dev_uevent()
itself. So fix this race by adding the lock to the non-protected
path. This is the path where above race is observed:

 dev_uevent+0x235/0x380
 uevent_show+0x10c/0x1f0  &lt;= Add lock here
 dev_attr_show+0x3a/0xa0
 sysfs_kf_seq_show+0x17c/0x250
 kernfs_seq_show+0x7c/0x90
 seq_read_iter+0x2d7/0x940
 kernfs_fop_read_iter+0xc6/0x310
 vfs_read+0x5bc/0x6b0
 ksys_read+0xeb/0x1b0
 __x64_sys_read+0x42/0x50
 x64_sys_call+0x27ad/0x2d30
 do_syscall_64+0xcd/0x1d0
 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f

Similar cases are reported by syzkaller in

https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=ffa8143439596313a85a

But these are regarding the *initialization* of dev-&gt;driver

dev-&gt;driver = drv;

As this switches dev-&gt;driver to non-NULL these reports can be considered
to be false-positives (which should be "fixed" by this commit, as well,
though).

The same issue was reported and tried to be fixed back in 2015 in

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1421259054-2574-1-git-send-email-a.sangwan@samsung.com/

already.

[ Upstream commit a787e5400a1ceeb0ef92d71ec43aeb35b1fa1334 ]

During probe every time driver gets resource it should usually check for
error printk some message if it is not -EPROBE_DEFER and return the error.
This pattern is simple but requires adding few lines after any resource
acquisition code, as a result it is often omitted or implemented only
partially.
dev_err_probe helps to replace such code sequences with simple call,
so code:
	if (err != -EPROBE_DEFER)
		dev_err(dev, ...);
	return err;
becomes:
	return dev_err_probe(dev, err, ...);

[ Upstream commit a787e5400a1ceeb0ef92d71ec43aeb35b1fa1334 ]

During probe every time driver gets resource it should usually check for
error printk some message if it is not -EPROBE_DEFER and return the error.
This pattern is simple but requires adding few lines after any resource
acquisition code, as a result it is often omitted or implemented only
partially.
dev_err_probe helps to replace such code sequences with simple call,
so code:
	if (err != -EPROBE_DEFER)
		dev_err(dev, ...);
	return err;
becomes:
	return dev_err_probe(dev, err, ...);

commit aa838896d87af561a33ecefea1caa4c15a68bc47 upstream.

Convert the various sprintf fmaily calls in sysfs device show functions
to sysfs_emit and sysfs_emit_at for PAGE_SIZE buffer safety.

Done with:

$ spatch -sp-file sysfs_emit_dev.cocci --in-place --max-width=80 .

And cocci script:

$ cat sysfs_emit_dev.cocci

<title>PCI/MSI: Protect msi_desc::masked for multi-MSI</title>

commit 77e89afc25f30abd56e76a809ee2884d7c1b63ce upstream.

Multi-MSI uses a single MSI descriptor and there is a single mask register
when the device supports per vector masking. To avoid reading back the mask
register the value is cached in the MSI descriptor and updates are done by
clearing and setting bits in the cache and writing it to the device.

But nothing protects msi_desc::masked and the mask register from being
modified concurrently on two different CPUs for two different Linux
interrupts which belong to the same multi-MSI descriptor.

Add a lock to struct device and protect any operation on the mask and the
mask register with it.

This makes the update of msi_desc::masked unconditional, but there is no
place which requires a modification of the hardware register without
updating the masked cache.

msi_mask_irq() is now an empty wrapper which will be cleaned up in follow
up changes.

The problem goes way back to the initial support of multi-MSI, but picking
the commit which introduced the mask cache is a valid cut off point
(2.6.30).

commit 3d1cf435e201d1fd63e4346b141881aed086effd upstream.

If the device passed as the target (second argument) to
device_is_dependent() is not completely registered (that is, it has
been initialized, but not added yet), but the parent pointer of it
is set, it may be missing from the list of the parent's children
and device_for_each_child() called by device_is_dependent() cannot
be relied on to catch that dependency.

For this reason, modify device_is_dependent() to check the ancestors
of the target device by following its parent pointer in addition to
the device_for_each_child() walk.

commit 47f4469970d8861bc06d2d4d45ac8200ff07c693 upstream.

While commit d5dcce0c414f ("device property: Keep secondary firmware
node secondary by type") describes everything correct in its commit
message, the change it made does the opposite and original commit
c15e1bdda436 ("device property: Fix the secondary firmware node handling
in set_primary_fwnode()") was fully correct.

Revert the former one here and improve documentation in the next patch.
