Hi Grant, Rob, I ran into two different kernel crashes when trying to use of_platform_depopulate() in my out-of-tree PRU remoteproc platform driver. The crashes are seen when the child nodes created in my driver do get supplied with some platform data (provided through auxdata), and have IOMEM resources of their own. Patches 1 and 2 have fixed the issues for me, and I would like to know if this is indeed the right approach to be taken, these touch both the OF and platform core. 1. release_resource crash [ 81.510769] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000018 [ 81.519270] pgd = de4a0000 [ 81.522115] [00000018] *pgd=9e4c5831, *pte=00000000, *ppte=00000000 [ 81.528688] Internal error: Oops: 17 [#1] SMP ARM [ 81.533600] Modules linked in: pruss_remoteproc(-) remoteproc virtio_ring virtio [last unloaded: virtio_rpmsg_bus] [ 81.544451] CPU: 0 PID: 78 Comm: rmmod Not tainted 3.19.0-rc3-00024-g05af4a776de5 #330 [ 81.552714] Hardware name: Generic AM33XX (Flattened Device Tree) [ 81.559074] task: de519140 ti: de4f0000 task.ti: de4f0000 [ 81.564724] PC is at release_resource+0x14/0x7c [ 81.569452] LR is at release_resource+0x10/0x7c [ 81.574181] pc : [<c00429c4>] lr : [<c00429c0>] psr: 60000013 [ 81.574181] sp : de4f1ec0 ip : 00000000 fp : 00000000 [ 81.586163] r10: 00000000 r9 : de4f0000 r8 : c000e904 [ 81.591615] r7 : 00000081 r6 : c04d673c r5 : de52ac00 r4 : de4aec40 [ 81.598427] r3 : 00000000 r2 : 00000000 r1 : ffffffff r0 : c0923530 [ 81.605241] Flags: nZCv IRQs on FIQs on Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment user [ 81.612688] Control: 10c5387d Table: 9e4a0019 DAC: 00000015 [ 81.618684] Process rmmod (pid: 78, stack limit = 0xde4f0240) [ 81.624680] Stack: (0xde4f1ec0 to 0xde4f2000) [ 81.629231] 1ec0: 00000000 00000001 de52ac00 c03a083c c094a7d0 de52ac00 00000000 c03a0b78 [ 81.637770] 1ee0: de52ac10 c04d67b8 00000000 c039b7e0 de1100c0 de4ae370 de12cc10 de12cc00 [ 81.646308] 1f00: c0915564 c04d6724 de12cc10 bf01f154 de12cc10 bf02135c de12cc44 c03a0714 [ 81.654846] 1f20: c03a06fc de12cc10 bf02135c c039ec8c bf02135c de12cc10 bf02135c c039f494 [ 81.663384] 1f40: bf02135c be854be8 00000880 c039eb14 bf021480 c00b4198 c0164bc0 73757270 [ 81.671922] 1f60: 65725f73 65746f6d 636f7270 00000000 00000001 de519140 c000e7d0 00000001 [ 81.680460] 1f80: 10c5387d c0083074 000195dc 73757270 65725f73 0000e85c 000195dc 73757270 [ 81.688998] 1fa0: 65725f73 c000e740 000195dc 73757270 be854be8 00000880 be854be8 00000880 [ 81.697536] 1fc0: 000195dc 73757270 65725f73 00000081 000aa7f8 00000000 0000d1b0 00000000 [ 81.706075] 1fe0: be854be0 be854bd0 00019368 b6f39bc0 60000010 be854be8 00000000 00000000 [ 81.714630] [<c00429c4>] (release_resource) from [<c03a083c>] (platform_device_del+0x6c/0x9c) [ 81.723537] [<c03a083c>] (platform_device_del) from [<c03a0b78>] (platform_device_unregister+0xc/0x18) [ 81.733268] [<c03a0b78>] (platform_device_unregister) from [<c04d67b8>] (of_platform_device_destroy+0x7c/0x88) [ 81.743727] [<c04d67b8>] (of_platform_device_destroy) from [<c039b7e0>] (device_for_each_child+0x34/0x74) [ 81.753720] [<c039b7e0>] (device_for_each_child) from [<c04d6724>] (of_platform_depopulate+0x2c/0x44) [ 81.763359] [<c04d6724>] (of_platform_depopulate) from [<bf01f154>] (pruss_remove+0x28/0x58 [pruss_remoteproc]) [ 81.773900] [<bf01f154>] (pruss_remove [pruss_remoteproc]) from [<c03a0714>] (platform_drv_remove+0x18/0x30) [ 81.784163] [<c03a0714>] (platform_drv_remove) from [<c039ec8c>] (__device_release_driver+0x70/0xc4) [ 81.793701] [<c039ec8c>] (__device_release_driver) from [<c039f494>] (driver_detach+0xb4/0xb8) [ 81.802693] [<c039f494>] (driver_detach) from [<c039eb14>] (bus_remove_driver+0x4c/0x90) [ 81.811154] [<c039eb14>] (bus_remove_driver) from [<c00b4198>] (SyS_delete_module+0x118/0x1e0) [ 81.820157] [<c00b4198>] (SyS_delete_module) from [<c000e740>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x48) [ 81.828788] Code: e1a04000 e59f0068 eb164f84 e5943010 (e5932018) [ 81.835241] ---[ end trace 753a834bdbc86894 ]--- Segmentation fault There seems to be similar signatures seen before [1][2], and in some cases, the drivers used of_device_unregister in a loop in their remove. These all should migrate to of_platform_depopulate, but so far haven't seen any that did supply platform data.
