commit 87de6594dc45dbf6819f3e0ef92f9331c5a9444c upstream.

Skip wakeup_source_sysfs_remove() to fix a NULL pinter dereference via
ws-&gt;dev, if the wakeup source is unregistered before registering the
wakeup class from device_add().

commit 56cb26891ea4180121265dc6b596015772c4a4b8 upstream.

Commit 2c361684803e ("PM / Domains: Don't treat zero found compatible idle
states as an error"), moved of_genpd_parse_idle_states() towards allowing
none compatible idle state to be found for the device node, rather than
returning an error code.

However, it didn't consider that the "domain-idle-states" DT property may
be missing as it's optional, which makes of_count_phandle_with_args() to
return -ENOENT. Let's fix this to make the behaviour consistent.

[ Upstream commit bcfbd3523f3c6eea51a74d217a8ebc5463bcb7f4 ]

fw_sysfs_wait_timeout may return err with -ENOENT
at fw_load_sysfs_fallback and firmware is already
in abort status, no need to abort again, so skip it.

This issue is caused by concurrent situation like below:
when thread 1# wait firmware loading, thread 2# may write
-1 to abort loading and wakeup thread 1# before it timeout.
so wait_for_completion_killable_timeout of thread 1# would
return remaining time which is != 0 with fw_st-&gt;status
FW_STATUS_ABORTED.And the results would be converted into
err -ENOENT in __fw_state_wait_common and transfered to
fw_load_sysfs_fallback in thread 1#.
The -ENOENT means firmware status is already at ABORTED,
so fw_load_sysfs_fallback no need to get mutex to abort again.

commit 1745d299af5b373abad08fa29bff0d31dc6aff21 upstream.

A previous patch 03324507e66c ("driver core: Allow
fwnode_operations.add_links to differentiate errors") forgot to update
all call sites to fwnode_operations.add_links. This patch fixes that.

Legend:
-&gt; Denotes RHS is an optional/potential supplier for LHS
=&gt; Denotes RHS is a mandatory supplier for LHS

Example:

Device A =&gt; Device X
Device A -&gt; Device Y

Before this patch:
1. Device A is added.
2. Device A is marked as waiting for mandatory suppliers
3. Device X is added
4. Device A is left marked as waiting for mandatory suppliers

Step 4 is wrong since all mandatory suppliers of Device A have been
added.

After this patch:
1. Device A is added.
2. Device A is marked as waiting for mandatory suppliers
3. Device X is added
4. Device A is no longer considered as waiting for mandatory suppliers

This is the correct behavior.

<title>drivers/base/memory.c: indicate all memory blocks as removable</title>

commit 53cdc1cb29e87ce5a61de5bb393eb08925d14ede upstream.

We see multiple issues with the implementation/interface to compute
whether a memory block can be offlined (exposed via
/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/removable) and would like to simplify
it (remove the implementation).

1. It runs basically lockless. While this might be good for performance,
   we see possible races with memory offlining that will require at
   least some sort of locking to fix.

2. Nowadays, more false positives are possible. No arch-specific checks
   are performed that validate if memory offlining will not be denied
   right away (and such check will require locking). For example, arm64
   won't allow to offline any memory block that was added during boot -
   which will imply a very high error rate. Other archs have other
   constraints.

3. The interface is inherently racy. E.g., if a memory block is detected
   to be removable (and was not a false positive at that time), there is
   still no guarantee that offlining will actually succeed. So any
   caller already has to deal with false positives.

4. It is unclear which performance benefit this interface actually
   provides. The introducing commit 5c755e9fd813 ("memory-hotplug: add
   sysfs removable attribute for hotplug memory remove") mentioned

	"A user-level agent must be able to identify which sections
	 of memory are likely to be removable before attempting the
	 potentially expensive operation."

   However, no actual performance comparison was included.

Known users:

 - lsmem: Will group memory blocks based on the "removable" property. [1]

 - chmem: Indirect user. It has a RANGE mode where one can specify
          removable ranges identified via lsmem to be offlined. However,
          it also has a "SIZE" mode, which allows a sysadmin to skip the
          manual "identify removable blocks" step. [2]

 - powerpc-utils: Uses the "removable" attribute to skip some memory
          blocks right away when trying to find some to offline+remove.
          However, with ballooning enabled, it already skips this
          information completely (because it once resulted in many false
          negatives). Therefore, the implementation can deal with false
          positives properly already. [3]

According to Nathan Fontenot, DLPAR on powerpc is nowadays no longer
driven from userspace via the drmgr command (powerpc-utils).  Nowadays
it's managed in the kernel - including onlining/offlining of memory
blocks - triggered by drmgr writing to /sys/kernel/dlpar.  So the
affected legacy userspace handling is only active on old kernels.  Only
very old versions of drmgr on a new kernel (unlikely) might execute
slower - totally acceptable.

With CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE, always indicating "removable" should not
break any user space tool.  We implement a very bad heuristic now.
Without CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE we cannot offline anything, so report
"not removable" as before.

Original discussion can be found in [4] ("[PATCH RFC v1] mm:
is_mem_section_removable() overhaul").

Other users of is_mem_section_removable() will be removed next, so that
we can remove is_mem_section_removable() completely.

<title>driver code: clarify and fix platform device DMA mask allocation</title>

commit e3a36eb6dfaeea8175c05d5915dcf0b939be6dab upstream.

This does three inter-related things to clarify the usage of the
platform device dma_mask field. In the process, fix the bug introduced
by cdfee5623290 ("driver core: initialize a default DMA mask for
platform device") that caused Artem Tashkinov's laptop to not boot with
newer Fedora kernels.

This does:

 - First off, rename the field to "platform_dma_mask" to make it
   greppable.

   We have way too many different random fields called "dma_mask" in
   various data structures, where some of them are actual masks, and
   some of them are just pointers to the mask. And the structures all
   have pointers to each other, or embed each other inside themselves,
   and "pdev" sometimes means "platform device" and sometimes it means
   "PCI device".

   So to make it clear in the code when you actually use this new field,
   give it a unique name (it really should be something even more unique
   like "platform_device_dma_mask", since it's per platform device, not
   per platform, but that gets old really fast, and this is unique
   enough in context).

   To further clarify when the field gets used, initialize it when we
   actually start using it with the default value.

 - Then, use this field instead of the random one-off allocation in
   platform_device_register_full() that is now unnecessary since we now
   already have a perfectly fine allocation for it in the platform
   device structure.

 - The above then allows us to fix the actual bug, where the error path
   of platform_device_register_full() would unconditionally free the
   platform device DMA allocation with 'kfree()'.

   That kfree() was dont regardless of whether the allocation had been
   done earlier with the (now removed) kmalloc, or whether
   setup_pdev_dma_masks() had already been used and the dma_mask pointer
   pointed to the mask that was part of the platform device.

It seems most people never triggered the error path, or only triggered
it from a call chain that set an explicit pdevinfo-&gt;dma_mask value (and
thus caused the unnecessary allocation that was "cleaned up" in the
error path) before calling platform_device_register_full().

Robin Murphy points out that in Artem's case the wdat_wdt driver failed
in platform_device_add(), and that was the one that had called
platform_device_register_full() with pdevinfo.dma_mask = 0, and would
have caused that kfree() of pdev.dma_mask corrupting the heap.

A later unrelated kmalloc() then oopsed due to the heap corruption.

<title>driver core: Call sync_state() even if supplier has no consumers</title>

commit 21eb93f432b1a785df193df1a56a59e9eb3a985f upstream.

The initial patch that added sync_state() support didn't handle the case
where a supplier has no consumers. This was because when a device is
successfully bound with a driver, only its suppliers were checked to see
if they are eligible to get a sync_state(). This is not sufficient for
devices that have no consumers but still need to do device state clean
up. So fix this.

Currently the check that a u32 variable i is &gt;= 0 is always true because
the unsigned variable will never be negative, causing the loop to run
forever.  Fix this by changing the pre-decrement check to a zero check on
i followed by a decrement of i.

[ Upstream commit 7c35e699c88bd60734277b26962783c60e04b494 ]

If a device already has devres items attached before probing, a warning
backtrace is printed.  However, this backtrace does not reveal the
offending device, leaving the user uninformed.  Furthermore, using
WARN_ON() causes systems with panic-on-warn to reboot.

Fix this by replacing the WARN_ON() by a dev_crit() message.
Abort probing the device, to prevent doing more damage to the device's
resources.
