commit 9a71892cbcdb9d1459c84f5a4c722b14354158a5 upstream.

This reverts commit 15fffc6a5624b13b428bb1c6e9088e32a55eb82c.

This commit causes a regression, so revert it for now until it can come
back in a way that works for everyone.

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.

commit 0462c56c290a99a7f03e817ae5b843116dfb575c upstream.

The commit 80dd33cf72d1 ("drivers: base: Fix device link removal")
introduces a workqueue to release the consumer and supplier devices used
in the devlink.
In the job queued, devices are release and in turn, when all the
references to these devices are dropped, the release function of the
device itself is called.

Nothing is present to provide some synchronisation with this workqueue
in order to ensure that all ongoing releasing operations are done and
so, some other operations can be started safely.

For instance, in the following sequence:
  1) of_platform_depopulate()
  2) of_overlay_remove()

During the step 1, devices are released and related devlinks are removed
(jobs pushed in the workqueue).
During the step 2, OF nodes are destroyed but, without any
synchronisation with devlink removal jobs, of_overlay_remove() can raise
warnings related to missing of_node_put():
  ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 2

Indeed, the missing of_node_put() call is going to be done, too late,
from the workqueue job execution.

Introduce device_link_wait_removal() to offer a way to synchronize
operations waiting for the end of devlink removals (i.e. end of
workqueue jobs).
Also, as a flushing operation is done on the workqueue, the workqueue
used is moved from a system-wide workqueue to a local one.

<title>driver core: Move the "removable" attribute from USB to core</title>

[ Upstream commit 70f400d4d957c2453c8689552ff212bc59f88938 ]

Move the "removable" attribute from USB to core in order to allow it to be
supported by other subsystem / buses. Individual buses that want to support
this attribute can populate the removable property of the device while
enumerating it with the 3 possible values -
 - "unknown"
 - "fixed"
 - "removable"
Leaving the field unchanged (i.e. "not supported") would mean that the
attribute would not show up in sysfs for that device. The UAPI (location,
symantics etc) for the attribute remains unchanged.

Move the "removable" attribute from USB to the device core so it can be
used by other subsystems / buses.

By default, devices do not have a "removable" attribute in sysfs.

If a subsystem or bus driver wants to support a "removable" attribute, it
should call device_set_removable() before calling device_register() or
device_add(), e.g.:

    device_set_removable(dev, DEVICE_REMOVABLE);
    device_register(dev);

The possible values and the resulting sysfs attribute contents are:

    DEVICE_REMOVABLE_UNKNOWN  -&gt;  "unknown"
    DEVICE_REMOVABLE          -&gt;  "removable"
    DEVICE_FIXED              -&gt;  "fixed"

Convert the USB "removable" attribute to use this new device core
functionality.  There should be no user-visible change in the location or
semantics of attribute for USB devices.

commit 07358194badf73e267289b40b761f5dc56928eab upstream.

Instead of passing an extra bool argument to pm_runtime_release_supplier(),
make its callers take care of triggering a runtime-suspend of the
supplier device as needed.

No expected functional impact.

<title>PM: runtime: Add safety net to supplier device release</title>

[ Upstream commit d1579e61192e0e686faa4208500ef4c3b529b16c ]

Because refcount_dec_not_one() returns true if the target refcount
becomes saturated, it is generally unsafe to use its return value as
a loop termination condition, but that is what happens when a device
link's supplier device is released during runtime PM suspend
operations and on device link removal.

To address this, introduce pm_runtime_release_supplier() to be used
in the above cases which will check the supplier device's runtime
PM usage counter in addition to the refcount_dec_not_one() return
value, so the loop can be terminated in case the rpm_active refcount
value becomes invalid, and update the code in question to use it as
appropriate.

This change is not expected to have any visible functional impact.

When device_register() returns an error, the name allocated in dev_set_name()
will be leaked, the put_device() should be used instead of kfree() to give up
the device reference, then the name will be freed in kobject_cleanup() and the
references of consumer and supplier will be decreased in device_link_release_fn().

When device_register() returns an error, the name allocated in dev_set_name()
will be leaked, the put_device() should be used instead of kfree() to give up
the device reference, then the name will be freed in kobject_cleanup() and the
references of consumer and supplier will be decreased in device_link_release_fn().
