This moves the usermode helper locks into only code paths that use the
usermode helper API from the kernel. The usermode helper locks were
originally added to prevent stalling suspend, later the firmware cache
was added to help with this, and further later direct filesystem lookup
was added by Linus to completely bypass udev due to the amount of issues
the umh approach had.

The usermode helper locks were kept even when the direct filesystem lookup
mechanism is used though. A lot has changed since the original usermode
helper locks were added but the recent commit which added the code for
firmware_enabled() are intended to address any possible races cured only
as collateral by using the locks as though side consequence of code
evolution and this not being addressed any time sooner. With the
firmware_enabled() code in place we are a bit more sure to move the
usermode helper locks to UMH only code.

There is a bit of history here so let's recap a bit of it to ensure nothing
is lost and things are clear. The direct filesystem approach to loading
firmware is rather new, it was added via commit abb139e75c2cdb ("firmware:
teach the kernel to load firmware files directly from the filesystem") by
Linus merged on the v3.7 release, to enable to bypass udev.

usermodehelper_read_lock_wait() was added earlier via commit 9b78c1da60b3c
("firmware_class: Do not warn that system is not ready from async loads")
merged on v3.4, after Rafael noted that the async firmware API call
request_firmware_nowait() should not be penalized to fail if userspace is
not available yet or frozen, it'd allow for a timeout grace period before
giving up. The WARN_ON() was kept for the sync firmware API call though on
request_firmware(). At this time there was no direct filesystem lookup for
firmware though.

The original usermode helper lock came from commit a144c6a6c924a ("PM:
Print a warning if firmware is requested when tasks are frozen") merged on
the v3.0 kernel by Rafael to print a warning back when firmware requests
were used on resume(), thaw() or restore() callbacks and there was no
direct fs lookups or the firmware cache.

The firmware API should not be used after we go to suspend
and after we reboot/halt. The suspend/resume case is a bit
complex, so this documents that so things are clearer.

We want to know about users of the API in incorrect places so
that their callers are corrected, so this also adds a warn
for those cases.

Now that we've have proper wrappers for the fallback mechanism
we can easily share the reboot notifier for the firmware_class

This change will make subsequent modifications to the reboot

We kill pending fallback requests on suspend and reboot,
the only difference is that on suspend we only kill custom
fallback requests. Provide a wrapper that lets us customize
the request with a flag.

This also lets us simplify the #ifdef'ery over the calls.

<title>firmware: fix NULL pointer dereference in __fw_load_abort()</title>

<id>191e885a2e130e639bb0c8ee350d7047294f2ce6</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 5d47ec02c37ea6 ("firmware: Correct handling of
fw_state_wait() return value") fw_load_abort() could be called twice and
lead us to a kernel crash. This happens only when the firmware fallback
mechanism (regular or custom) is used. The fallback mechanism exposes a
sysfs interface for userspace to upload a file and notify the kernel
when the file is loaded and ready, or to cancel an upload by echo'ing -1
into on the loading file:

echo -n "-1" &gt; /sys/$DEVPATH/loading

This will call fw_load_abort(). Some distributions actually have a udev
rule in place to *always* immediately cancel all firmware fallback
mechanism requests (Debian), they have:

  $ cat /lib/udev/rules.d/50-firmware.rules
  # stub for immediately telling the kernel that userspace firmware loading
  # failed; necessary to avoid long timeouts with CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y
  SUBSYSTEM=="firmware", ACTION=="add", ATTR{loading}="-1

Distributions with this udev rule would run into this crash only if the
fallback mechanism is used. Since most distributions disable by default
using the fallback mechanism (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK),
this would typicaly mean only 2 drivers which *require* the fallback
mechanism could typically incur a crash: drivers/firmware/dell_rbu.c and
the drivers/leds/leds-lp55xx-common.c driver. Distributions enabling
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK by default are obviously more
exposed to this crash.

The crash happens because after commit 5b029624948d ("firmware: do not
use fw_lock for fw_state protection") and subsequent fix commit
5d47ec02c37ea6 ("firmware: Correct handling of fw_state_wait() return
value") a race can happen between this cancelation and the firmware
fw_state_wait_timeout() being woken up after a state change with which
fw_load_abort() as that calls swake_up(). Upon error
fw_state_wait_timeout() will also again call fw_load_abort() and trigger
a null reference.

At first glance we could just fix this with a !buf check on
fw_load_abort() before accessing buf-&gt;fw_st, however there is a logical
issue in having a state machine used for the fallback mechanism and
preventing access from it once we abort as its inside the buf
(buf-&gt;fw_st).

The firmware_class.c code is setting the buf to NULL to annotate an
abort has occurred. Replace this mechanism by simply using the state
check instead. All the other code in place already uses similar checks
for aborting as well so no further changes are needed.

An oops can be reproduced with the new fw_fallback.sh fallback mechanism
cancellation test. Either cancelling the fallback mechanism or the
custom fallback mechanism triggers a crash.

<title>firmware: Correct handling of fw_state_wait() return value</title>

When request_firmware() finds an already open firmware object it will
wait for that object to become fully loaded and then check the status.
As __fw_state_wait_common() succeeds the timeout value returned will be
truncated in _request_firmware_prepare() and interpreted as -EPERM.

Prior to "firmware: do not use fw_lock for fw_state protection" the code
did test if we where in the "done" state before sleeping, causing this
particular code path to succeed, in some cases.

As the callers are interested in the result of the wait and not the
remaining timeout the return value of __fw_state_wait_common() is
changed to signal "done" or "error", which simplifies the logic in
_request_firmware_load() as well.

fw_state_is_done() is only used for UHM so moved into that section.
