From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@xxxxxxxx> Move duplicating and unflattening of an overlay flattened devicetree (FDT) into the overlay application code. To accomplish this, of_overlay_apply() is replaced by of_overlay_fdt_apply(). The copy of the FDT (aka "duplicate FDT") now belongs to devicetree code, which is thus responsible for freeing the duplicate FDT. The caller of of_overlay_fdt_apply() remains responsible for freeing the original FDT. The unflattened devicetree now belongs to devicetree code, which is thus responsible for freeing the unflattened devicetree. These ownership changes prevent early freeing of the duplicated FDT or the unflattened devicetree, which could result in use after free errors. These changes led to migrating some unittest overlay data into their own devicetree source files, and then converting most of them to use sugar syntax instead of hand coding fragments. Changes from v2: - improve error messages in patch 4/4, as suggested by Geert Changes from v1: - rebase on v4.16-rc1 - update documentation - split out error message to a separate patch Frank Rowand (4): of: change overlay apply input data from unflattened to FDT of: Documentation: of_overlay_apply() replaced by of_overlay_fdt_apply() of: convert unittest overlay devicetree source to sugar syntax of: improve reporting invalid overlay target path Documentation/devicetree/overlay-notes.txt | 4 +- drivers/of/of_private.h | 1 + drivers/of/overlay.c | 129 ++++++++-- drivers/of/resolver.c | 6 - drivers/of/unittest-data/Makefile | 28 ++- drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay.dts | 101 ++++---- drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_0.dts | 14 ++ drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_1.dts | 14 ++ drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_10.dts | 27 +++ drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_11.dts | 28 +++ drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_12.dts | 14 ++ drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_13.dts | 14 ++ drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_15.dts | 30 +++ drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_2.dts | 9 + drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_3.dts | 9 + drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_4.dts | 18 ++ drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_5.dts | 9 + drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_6.dts | 10 + drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_7.dts | 10 + drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_8.dts | 10 + drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_9.dts | 10 + drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_bad_phandle.dts | 23 +- drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_bad_symbol.dts | 25 +- drivers/of/unittest-data/tests-overlay.dtsi | 217 +---------------- drivers/of/unittest.c | 294 +++++++++++------------ include/linux/of.h | 7 - 26 files changed, 574 insertions(+), 487 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_0.dts create mode 100644 drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_1.dts create mode 100644 drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_10.dts create mode 100644 drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_11.dts create mode 100644 drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_12.dts create mode 100644 drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_13.dts create mode 100644 drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_15.dts create mode 100644 drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_2.dts create mode 100644 drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_3.dts create mode 100644 drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_4.dts create mode 100644 drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_5.dts create mode 100644 drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_6.dts create mode 100644 drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_7.dts create mode 100644 drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_8.dts create mode 100644 drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_9.dts -- Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@xxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
