[ 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.

firmware_loader: fix device reference leak in firmware_upload_register() 2026-07-24T14:02:48+00:00 Guangshuo Li lgs201920130244@gmail.com 2026-05-05T09:12:31+00:00 46d403da376a8b7c1187193294953816e1a8d7fe commit 896df22ee57648b0c505bd76ddbc6b2341834696 upstream. firmware_upload_register() -> fw_create_instance() -> device_initialize() After fw_create_instance() succeeds, the lifetime of the embedded struct device is expected to be managed through the device core reference counting, since fw_create_instance() has already called device_initialize().

commit 896df22ee57648b0c505bd76ddbc6b2341834696 upstream.

firmware_upload_register()
  -> fw_create_instance()
     -> device_initialize()

After fw_create_instance() succeeds, the lifetime of the embedded struct
device is expected to be managed through the device core reference
counting, since fw_create_instance() has already called
device_initialize().

In firmware_upload_register(), if alloc_lookup_fw_priv() fails after
fw_create_instance() succeeds, the code reaches free_fw_sysfs and frees
fw_sysfs directly instead of releasing the device reference with
put_device(). This may leave the reference count of the embedded struct
device unbalanced, resulting in a refcount leak.

The issue was identified by a static analysis tool I developed and
confirmed by manual review. Fix this by using put_device(fw_dev) in the
failure path and letting fw_dev_release() handle the final cleanup,
instead of freeing the instance directly from the error path.

struct class should never be modified in a sysfs callback as there is
nothing in the structure to modify, and frankly, the structure is almost
never used in a sysfs callback, so mark it as constant to allow struct
class to be moved to read-only memory.

While we are touching all class sysfs callbacks also mark the attribute
as constant as it can not be modified.  The bonding code still uses this
structure so it can not be removed from the function callbacks.

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Support zstd-compressed debug info

 - Allow W=1 builds to detect objects shared among multiple modules

 - Add srcrpm-pkg target to generate a source RPM package

 - Make the -s option detection work for future GNU Make versions

 - Add -Werror to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS when CONFIG_WERROR=y

 - Allow W=1 builds to detect -Wundef warnings in any preprocessed files

 - Raise the minimum supported version of binutils to 2.25

 - Use $(intcmp ...) to compare integers if GNU Make >= 4.4 is used

 - Use $(file ...) to read a file if GNU Make >= 4.2 is used

 - Print error if GNU Make older than 3.82 is used

 - Allow modpost to detect section mismatches with Clang LTO

 - Include vmlinuz.efi into kernel tarballs for arm64 CONFIG_EFI_ZBOOT=y
