linux-stable.git/drivers/base/core.c, branch v7.0.4 Linux kernel stable tree device property: Make modifications of fwnode "flags" thread safe 2026-05-07T04:13:43+00:00 Douglas Anderson dianders@chromium.org 2026-03-17T16:01:20+00:00 bed1721fb33c4bb326242a3f316d45862466f08d commit f72e77c33e4b5657af35125e75bab249256030f3 upstream. In various places in the kernel, we modify the fwnode "flags" member by doing either: fwnode->flags |= SOME_FLAG; fwnode->flags &= ~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.

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

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

driver core: Don't let a device probe until it's ready 2026-05-07T04:13:42+00:00 Douglas Anderson dianders@chromium.org 2026-04-06T23:22:54+00:00 cef7c80ac5041f2810c1fb9f76c7b7104625f4f7 commit a2225b6e834a838ae3c93709760edc0a169eb2f2 upstream.

This prevented __fw_devlink_pickup_dangling_consumers() from being called which meant that other devices waiting on our driver's sub-nodes were stuck deferring forever. It's believed that this problem is showing up suddenly for two reasons: 1. Android has recently (last ~1 year) implemented an optimization to the order it loads modules [2].

The reproduction of this problem has only been seen on devices that opt-in to Android's "parallel module loading". 2. Android devices typically opt-in to fw_devlink, and the most noticeable issue is the NULL "dev->fwnode->dev" in device_links_driver_bound(). fw_devlink is somewhat new code and also not in use by all Linux devices. Even though the specific symptom where "dev->fwnode->dev" wasn't assigned could be fixed by moving that assignment higher in device_add(), other parts of device_add() (like the call to device_pm_add()) are also important to run before probe.

commit a2225b6e834a838ae3c93709760edc0a169eb2f2 upstream.

The moment we link a "struct device" into the list of devices for the
bus, it's possible probe can happen. This is because another thread
can load the driver at any time and that can cause the device to
probe. This has been seen in practice with a stack crawl that looks
like this [1]:

  really_probe()
  __driver_probe_device()
  driver_probe_device()
  __driver_attach()
  bus_for_each_dev()
  driver_attach()
  bus_add_driver()
  driver_register()
  __platform_driver_register()
  init_module() [some module]
  do_one_initcall()
  do_init_module()
  load_module()
  __arm64_sys_finit_module()
  invoke_syscall()

As a result of the above, it was seen that device_links_driver_bound()
could be called for the device before "dev->fwnode->dev" was
assigned. This prevented __fw_devlink_pickup_dangling_consumers() from
being called which meant that other devices waiting on our driver's
sub-nodes were stuck deferring forever.

It's believed that this problem is showing up suddenly for two
reasons:
1. Android has recently (last ~1 year) implemented an optimization to
   the order it loads modules [2]. When devices opt-in to this faster
   loading, modules are loaded one-after-the-other very quickly. This
   is unlike how other distributions do it. The reproduction of this
   problem has only been seen on devices that opt-in to Android's
   "parallel module loading".
2. Android devices typically opt-in to fw_devlink, and the most
   noticeable issue is the NULL "dev->fwnode->dev" in
   device_links_driver_bound(). fw_devlink is somewhat new code and
   also not in use by all Linux devices.

Even though the specific symptom where "dev->fwnode->dev" wasn't
assigned could be fixed by moving that assignment higher in
device_add(), other parts of device_add() (like the call to
device_pm_add()) are also important to run before probe. Only moving
the "dev->fwnode->dev" assignment would likely fix the current
symptoms but lead to difficult-to-debug problems in the future.

Fix the problem by preventing probe until device_add() has run far
enough that the device is ready to probe. If somehow we end up trying
to probe before we're allowed, __driver_probe_device() will return
-EPROBE_DEFER which will make certain the device is noticed.

In the race condition that was seen with Android's faster module
loading, we will temporarily add the device to the deferred list and
then take it off immediately when device_add() probes the device.

Instead of adding another flag to the bitfields already in "struct
device", instead add a new "flags" field and use that. This allows us
to freely change the bit from different thread without worrying about
corrupting nearby bits (and means threads changing other bit won't
corrupt us).

as it's printed at the warning level, which is questionable.

Even if it certainly is useful to know that the ->sync_state() condition
could not be met, there may be nothing wrong with it. For example, a driver
may be built as module and are still waiting to be initialized/probed. For
this reason let's move to the info level for now.

Merge runtime PM framework updates and a core power management code fix
for 6.18-rc1:

 - Make pm_runtime_put*() family of functions return 1 when the
   given device is already suspended which is consistent with the
   documentation (Brian Norris)

 - Add basic kunit tests for runtime PM API contracts and update return
   values in kerneldoc coments for the runtime PM API (Brian Norris,
   Dan Carpenter)

 - Add auto-cleanup macros for runtime PM "resume and get" and "get
   without resume" operations, use one of them in the PCI core and
   drop the existing "free" macro introduced for similar purpose, but
   somewhat cumbersome to use (Rafael Wysocki)

 - Make the core power management code avoid waiting on device links
   marked as SYNC_STATE_ONLY which is consistent with the handling of
   those device links elsewhere (Pin-yen Lin)

* pm-core:
  PM: sleep: Do not wait on SYNC_STATE_ONLY device links

* pm-runtime:
  PM: runtime: Fix error checking for kunit_device_register()
  PM: runtime: Introduce one more usage counter guard
  PM: runtime: Drop DEFINE_FREE() for pm_runtime_put()
  PCI/sysfs: Use runtime PM guard macro for auto-cleanup
  PM: runtime: Add auto-cleanup macros for "resume and get" operations
  PM: runtime: Update kerneldoc return codes
  PM: runtime: Make put{,_sync}() return 1 when already suspended
  PM: runtime: Add basic kunit tests for API contracts
