If two requests are for getting same firmware image, only one can be sent out and be completed with user helper, please see fw_lookup_and_allocate_buf(), so the race shouldn't have been triggered in this case. So I guess your test must be involved with at least two different requests. > > The race will hit, when one asynchronous worker calls device_del() while > other asynchronous worker calls get_device_parent() in > _request_firmware_load(). > After loading firmware, first worker calls device_del(), and "firmware" > directory ref count is 1, so cleanup_glue_dir() calls kobject_put() with > gdp_mutex lock held. > Meanwhile, second async worker calls device_add(), and get_device_parent() > is still able to find the firmware directory kobject in ksets after getting > gdp_mutex. > This kobject gets added as parent to the second device kobject. > By the time of accessing the parent kobject, its ref count was 0 and prints > below warning stack followed by crash. The trick here is just that we don't use 'struct device' in device_cache_fw_images(), then the firmware device's parent is null during calling device_add() from _request_firmware_load(), but this should be allowed by driver core. >From firmware class view, both device_add()/device_del() is run with pair, and driver core still complains during get_device_parent(), so something inside driver core should be be wrong, IMO. > > [21147.455038] ------------[ cut here ]------------ > [21147.458910] WARNING: at <...>/kernel/include/linux/kref.h:47 > kobject_get+0x50/0x68() > [21147.481199]
