request_firmware_nowait() keeps the callback module pinned and holds
a device reference until the firmware work completes.

Callers still have no way to cancel or synchronize the queued callback
before tearing down their driver-private state.

Track scheduled async firmware work in an internal list and add
request_firmware_nowait_cancel(). The helper cancels work matching the
device, callback context and callback function. It cancels work that has
not started yet and waits for an already-running callback to return. If
the request has already completed, it is a no-op.

Keep the existing request_firmware_nowait() lifetime model manual. A
devres-managed variant can be layered on top separately if needed.

[ Upstream commit d3ec78f8f8d48a04a9fac38d47275c34645e5103 ]

A recursive locking deadlock can occur in the firmware loader's power
management notification handler.

During system suspend or hibernation preparation, fw_pm_notify() calls
device_cache_fw_images(). This function acquires fw_lock to set the
firmware cache state to FW_LOADER_START_CACHE and then iterates over all
devices using dpm_for_each_dev() while still holding the lock.

For each device, dev_cache_fw_image() schedules asynchronous work to cache
the firmware. If memory allocation for the async work entry fails (e.g., in
out-of-memory conditions), async_schedule_node_domain() falls back to
executing the work function synchronously in the current thread.

The synchronous execution path (__async_dev_cache_fw_image() ->
cache_firmware() -> request_firmware() -> assign_fw()) attempts to acquire
fw_lock again. Since the current thread already holds fw_lock, this results
in a recursive locking deadlock.

Fix this by releasing fw_lock immediately after updating the cache state
and before calling dpm_for_each_dev(). The lock is only needed to protect
the state update. Concurrent firmware requests will correctly see the
FW_LOADER_START_CACHE state and use the piggyback mechanism, which is
independently protected by its own fwc->name_lock.

Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument 2026-02-22T01:09:51+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2026-02-22T00:37:42+00:00 bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43 This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' | xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/' to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL argument to just drop that argument. Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types 2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00 Kees Cook kees@kernel.org 2026-02-21T07:49:23+00:00 69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>
