[ Upstream commit 0f9b011d3321ca1079c7a46c18cb1956fbdb7bcb ]

The .release function of driver_ktype is 'driver_release()'.
This function frees the container_of this kobject.

So, this memory must not be freed explicitly in the error handling path of
'bus_add_driver()'. Otherwise a double free will occur.

<title>PM / Domains: defer dev_pm_domain_set() until genpd-&gt;attach_dev succeeds if present</title>

[ Upstream commit 975e83cfb8dc16e7a2fdc58188c77c0c605876c2 ]

If the genpd-&gt;attach_dev or genpd-&gt;power_on fails, genpd_dev_pm_attach
may return -EPROBE_DEFER initially. However genpd_alloc_dev_data sets
the PM domain for the device unconditionally.

When subsequent attempts are made to call genpd_dev_pm_attach, it may
return -EEXISTS checking dev-&gt;pm_domain without re-attempting to call
attach_dev or power_on.

platform_drv_probe then attempts to call drv-&gt;probe as the return value
-EEXIST != -EPROBE_DEFER, which may end up in a situation where the
device is accessed without it's power domain switched on.

<title>PM / runtime: Avoid false-positive warnings from might_sleep_if()</title>

[ Upstream commit a9306a63631493afc75893a4ac405d4e1cbae6aa ]

The might_sleep_if() assertions in __pm_runtime_idle(),
__pm_runtime_suspend() and __pm_runtime_resume() may generate
false-positive warnings in some situations.  For example, that
happens if a nested pm_runtime_get_sync()/pm_runtime_put() pair
is executed with disabled interrupts within an outer
pm_runtime_get_sync()/pm_runtime_put() section for the same device.
[Generally, pm_runtime_get_sync() may sleep, so it should not be
called with disabled interrupts, but in this particular case the
previous pm_runtime_get_sync() guarantees that the device will not
be suspended, so the inner pm_runtime_get_sync() will return
immediately after incrementing the device's usage counter.]

That started to happen in the i915 driver in 4.10-rc, leading to
the following splat:

even though the code triggering it is correct.

Unfortunately, the might_sleep_if() assertions in question are
too coarse-grained to cover such cases correctly, so make them
a bit less sensitive in order to avoid the false-positives.

Unfortunately, the might_sleep_if() assertions in question are

a bit less sensitive in order to avoid the false-positives.

[ Upstream commit 2e700f8d85975f516ccaad821278c1fe66b2cc98 ]

When you use the firmware usermode helper fallback with a timeout value set to a
value greater than INT_MAX (2147483647) a cast overflow issue causes the
timeout value to go negative and breaks all usermode helper loading. This
regression was introduced through commit 68ff2a00dbf5 ("firmware_loader:
handle timeout via wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout()") on kernel
v4.0.

The firmware_class drivers relies on the firmware usermode helper
fallback as a mechanism to look for firmware if the direct filesystem
search failed only if:

  a) You've enabled CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK (not many distros):

  Then all of these callers will rely on the fallback mechanism in case
  the firmware is not found through an initial direct filesystem lookup:

  o request_firmware()
  o request_firmware_into_buf()
  o request_firmware_nowait()

  b) If you've only enabled CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER (most distros):

  Then only callers using request_firmware_nowait() with the second
  argument set to false, this explicitly is requesting the UMH firmware
  fallback to be relied on in case the first filesystem lookup fails.

  Using Coccinelle SmPL grammar we have identified only two drivers
  explicitly requesting the UMH firmware fallback mechanism:

  - drivers/firmware/dell_rbu.c
  - drivers/leds/leds-lp55xx-common.c

Since most distributions only enable CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER the
biggest impact of this regression are users of the dell_rbu and
leds-lp55xx-common device driver which required the UMH to find their
respective needed firmwares.

The default timeout for the UMH is set to 60 seconds always, as of
commit 68ff2a00dbf5 ("firmware_loader: handle timeout via
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout()") the timeout was bumped
to MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET ((LONG_MAX &gt;&gt; 1)-1). Additionally the MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET
value was also used if the timeout was configured by a user to 0.

The following works:

echo 2147483647 &gt; /sys/class/firmware/timeout

But both of the following set the timeout to MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET even if
we display 0 back to userspace:

echo 2147483648 &gt; /sys/class/firmware/timeout
cat /sys/class/firmware/timeout
0

echo 0&gt; /sys/class/firmware/timeout
cat /sys/class/firmware/timeout
0

A max value of INT_MAX (2147483647) seconds is therefore implicit due to the
another cast with simple_strtol().

This fixes the secondary cast (the first one is simple_strtol() but its an
issue only by forcing an implicit limit) by re-using the timeout variable and
only setting retval in appropriate cases.

Lastly worth noting systemd had ripped out the UMH firmware fallback
mechanism from udev since udev 2014 via commit be2ea723b1d023b3d
("udev: remove userspace firmware loading support"), so as of systemd v217.

[ Upstream commit 7e1b1fc4dabd6ec8e28baa0708866e13fa93c9b3 ]

Modules which register drivers via standard path (driver_register) in
parallel can cause a warning:
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 3492 at ../fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x62/0x80
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/saa7146/drivers'
Modules linked in: hexium_gemini(+) mxb(+) ...
...
Call Trace:

 [&lt;ffffffffa0033011&gt;] hexium_init_module+0x11/0x1000 [hexium_gemini]
...

As can be (mostly) seen, driver_register causes this call sequence:
  -&gt; bus_add_driver
    -&gt; module_add_driver
      -&gt; module_create_drivers_dir
The last one creates "drivers" directory in /sys/module/&lt;...&gt;. When
this is done in parallel, the directory is attempted to be created
twice at the same time.

This can be easily reproduced by loading mxb and hexium_gemini in
parallel:
while :; do
  modprobe mxb &amp;
  modprobe hexium_gemini
  wait
  rmmod mxb hexium_gemini saa7146_vv saa7146
done

saa7146 calls pci_register_driver for both mxb and hexium_gemini,
which means /sys/module/saa7146/drivers is to be created for both of
them.

Fix this by a new mutex in module_create_drivers_dir which makes the
test-and-create "drivers" dir atomic.

I inverted the condition and removed 'return' to avoid multiple
unlocks or a goto.
