[ Upstream commit 90e3577b5feb42bac1269e16bb3d2bdd8f6df40f ]

The value of opp_table-&gt;regulator_count is not very consistent right now
and it may end up being 0 while we do have a "opp-microvolt" property in
the OPP table. It was kept that way as we used to check if any
regulators are set with the OPP core for a device or not using value of
regulator_count.

Lets use opp_table-&gt;regulators for that purpose as the meaning of
regulator_count is going to change in the later patches.

[ Upstream commit df44b479654f62b478c18ee4d8bc4e9f897a9844 ]

Propagate error code back to userspace if writing the /sys/.../uevent
file fails. Before, the write operation always returned with success,
even if we failed to recognize the input string or if we failed to
generate the uevent itself.

With the error codes properly propagated back to userspace, we are
able to react in userspace accordingly by not assuming and awaiting
a uevent that is not delivered.

<title>driver core: Move async_synchronize_full call</title>

[ Upstream commit c37d721c68ad88925ba0e72f6e14acb829a8c6bb ]

Move the async_synchronize_full call out of __device_release_driver and
into driver_detach.

The idea behind this is that the async_synchronize_full call will only
guarantee that any existing async operations are flushed. This doesn't do
anything to guarantee that a hotplug event that may occur while we are
doing the release of the driver will not be asynchronously scheduled.

By moving this into the driver_detach path we can avoid potential deadlocks
as we aren't holding the device lock at this point and we should not have
the driver we want to flush loaded so the flush will take care of any
asynchronous events the driver we are detaching might have scheduled.

<title>drivers: core: Remove glue dirs from sysfs earlier</title>

commit 726e41097920a73e4c7c33385dcc0debb1281e18 upstream.

For devices with a class, we create a "glue" directory between
the parent device and the new device with the class name.

This directory is never "explicitely" removed when empty however,
this is left to the implicit sysfs removal done by kobject_release()
when the object loses its last reference via kobject_put().

This is problematic because as long as it's not been removed from
sysfs, it is still present in the class kset and in sysfs directory
structure.

The presence in the class kset exposes a use after free bug fixed
by the previous patch, but the presence in sysfs means that until
the kobject is released, which can take a while (especially with
kobject debugging), any attempt at re-creating such as binding a
new device for that class/parent pair, will result in a sysfs
duplicate file name error.

This fixes it by instead doing an explicit kobject_del() when
the glue dir is empty, by keeping track of the number of
child devices of the gluedir.

This is made easy by the fact that all glue dir operations are
done with a global mutex, and there's already a function
(cleanup_glue_dir) called in all the right places taking that
mutex that can be enhanced for this. It appears that this was
in fact the intent of the function, but the implementation was
wrong.

<title>sysfs: Disable lockdep for driver bind/unbind files</title>

[ Upstream commit 4f4b374332ec0ae9c738ff8ec9bed5cd97ff9adc ]

This is the much more correct fix for my earlier attempt at:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/12/10/118

Short recap:

- There's not actually a locking issue, it's just lockdep being a bit
  too eager to complain about a possible deadlock.

- Contrary to what I claimed the real problem is recursion on
  kn-&gt;count. Greg pointed me at sysfs_break_active_protection(), used
  by the scsi subsystem to allow a sysfs file to unbind itself. That
  would be a real deadlock, which isn't what's happening here. Also,
  breaking the active protection means we'd need to manually handle
  all the lifetime fun.

- With Rafael we discussed the task_work approach, which kinda works,
  but has two downsides: It's a functional change for a lockdep
  annotation issue, and it won't work for the bind file (which needs
  to get the errno from the driver load function back to userspace).

- Greg also asked why this never showed up: To hit this you need to
  unregister a 2nd driver from the unload code of your first driver. I
  guess only gpus do that. The bug has always been there, but only
  with a recent patch series did we add more locks so that lockdep
  built a chain from unbinding the snd-hda driver to the
  acpi_video_unregister call.

Full lockdep splat:

Looking around I've noticed that usb and i2c already handle similar
recursion problems, where a sysfs file can unbind the same type of
sysfs somewhere else in the hierarchy. Relevant commits are:

  annotation issue, and it won't work for the bind file (which needs
  to get the errno from the driver load function back to userspace).

- Greg also asked why this never showed up: To hit this you need to
  unregister a 2nd driver from the unload code of your first driver. I
  guess only gpus do that. The bug has always been there, but only
  with a recent patch series did we add more locks so that lockdep
  built a chain from unbinding the snd-hda driver to the
  acpi_video_unregister call.

Full lockdep splat:

Looking around I've noticed that usb and i2c already handle similar
recursion problems, where a sysfs file can unbind the same type of
sysfs somewhere else in the hierarchy. Relevant commits are:

<title>platform-msi: Free descriptors in platform_msi_domain_free()</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 81b1e6e6a8590a19257e37a1633bec098d499c57 upstream.

Since the addition of platform MSI support, there were two helpers
supposed to allocate/free IRQs for a device:

    platform_msi_domain_alloc_irqs()
    platform_msi_domain_free_irqs()

In these helpers, IRQ descriptors are allocated in the "alloc" routine
while they are freed in the "free" one.

Later, two other helpers have been added to handle IRQ domains on top
of MSI domains:

    platform_msi_domain_alloc()
    platform_msi_domain_free()

Seen from the outside, the logic is pretty close with the former
helpers and people used it with the same logic as before: a
platform_msi_domain_alloc() call should be balanced with a
platform_msi_domain_free() call. While this is probably what was
intended to do, the platform_msi_domain_free() does not remove/free
the IRQ descriptor(s) created/inserted in
platform_msi_domain_alloc().

One effect of such situation is that removing a module that requested
an IRQ will let one orphaned IRQ descriptor (with an allocated MSI
entry) in the device descriptors list. Next time the module will be
inserted back, one will observe that the allocation will happen twice
in the MSI domain, one time for the remaining descriptor, one time for
the new one. It also has the side effect to quickly overshoot the
maximum number of allocated MSI and then prevent any module requesting
an interrupt in the same domain to be inserted anymore.

This situation has been met with loops of insertion/removal of the
mvpp2.ko module (requesting 15 MSIs each time).

commit 2ec16150179888b81717d1d3ce84e634f4736af2 upstream.

The current ordering of code in device_del() triggers a WARN_ON()
in device_links_purge(), because of an unexpected link status.

The device_links_unbind_consumers() call in device_release_driver()
has to take place before device_links_purge() for the status of all
links to be correct, so move the device_links_purge() call in
device_del() after the invocation of bus_remove_device() which calls
device_release_driver().

commit 69e445ab8b66a9f30519842ef18be555d3ee9b51 upstream.

If __device_suspend() runs asynchronously (in which case the device
passed to it is in dpm_suspended_list at that point) and it returns
early on an error or pending wakeup, and the power.direct_complete
flag has been set for the device already, the subsequent
device_resume() will be confused by that and it will call
pm_runtime_enable() incorrectly, as runtime PM has not been
disabled for the device by __device_suspend().

To avoid that, clear power.direct_complete if __device_suspend()
is not going to disable runtime PM for the device before returning.

[ Upstream commit 3297c8fc65af5d40501ea7cddff1b195cae57e4e ]

There is a race window in device_shutdown(), which may cause
-1. parent device shut down before child or
-2. no shutdown on a new probing device.

For 1st, taking the following scenario:
         device_shutdown                        new plugin device
  list_del_init(parent_dev);
  spin_unlock(list_lock);
                                                  device_add(child)
                                                  probe child
  shutdown parent_dev
       --&gt; now child is on the tail of devices_kset

For 2nd, taking the following scenario:
         device_shutdown                        new plugin device
                                                  device_add(dev)
  device_lock(dev);
  ...
  device_unlock(dev);
                                                  probe dev
       --&gt; now, the new occurred dev has no opportunity to shutdown

To fix this race issue, just prevent the new probing request. With this
logic, device_shutdown() is more similar to dpm_prepare().

                                                  device_add(dev)
  device_lock(dev);
  ...
  device_unlock(dev);
                                                  probe dev
       --&gt; now, the new occurred dev has no opportunity to shutdown

To fix this race issue, just prevent the new probing request. With this
logic, device_shutdown() is more similar to dpm_prepare().

commit 5e2e2f9f76e157063a656351728703cb02b068f1 upstream.

"count" needs to be signed for the error handling to work.  I made "i"
signed as well so they match.

Fixes: 02113ba93ea4 (PM / clk: Add support for obtaining clocks from device-tree)
