[RFC PATCH] pinmux: Use sequential access to access desc->pinmux data

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When two client of the same gpio call pinctrl_select_state() for the
same functionality, we are seeing NULL pointer issue while accessing
desc->mux_owner.

Let's say two processes A, B executing in pin_request() for the same pin
and process A updates the desc->mux_usecount but not yet updated the
desc->mux_owner while process B see the desc->mux_usecount which got
updated by A path and further executes strcmp and while accessing
desc->mux_owner it crashes with NULL pointer.

	cpu0 (process A)			cpu1(process B)

pinctrl_select_state() {		  pinctrl_select_state() {
  pin_request() {				pin_request() {
  ...
						 .... 
    } else {
         desc->mux_usecount++;
    						desc->mux_usecount && strcmp(desc->mux_owner, owner)) {

         if (desc->mux_usecount > 1)
               return 0;
         desc->mux_owner = owner;


  }						}
