Any kernel config changes are not signalled. Let's improve the situation by emitting the events closer to the source. To that end let's call the relevant notifier chain from the functions setting direction, gpiod_set_config(), gpiod_set_consumer_name() and gpiod_toggle_active_low(). This covers all the options that we can inform the user-space about. We ignore events which don't have corresponding flags exported to user-space on purpose - otherwise the user would see a config-changed event but the associated line-info would remain unchanged.Today's -next is not booting on several of my platforms, including beaglebone-black, i.MX8MP-EVK and pine64plus. Bisects are pointing at this commit, and i.MX8MP-EVK is actually giving some console output: [ 2.502208] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000 [ 2.511036] Mem abort info: ...

Full boot log for i.MX8MP-EVK: https://lava.sirena.org.uk/scheduler/job/887083 Bisect log for that, the others look similar (the long run of good/bad tags at the start for random commits is my automation pulling test results it already knows about in the affected range to try to speed up the bisect):Hi Mark! Any chance you could post the output of scripts/faddr2line drivers/gpio/gpiolib.o gpiod_direction_output+0x34/0x5c for that build? BartWhile I can't really reproduce it, I've looked at what could be wrong and figured that the NULL-pointer in question can possibly be the line_state_notifier. I realized that for some historical reasons we add the GPIO device to the global list before it's fully set up - including initializing the notifier. In some corner cases (devlinks borked?) this could lead to consumers requesting GPIOs before their provider is ready. Mark: could you try the following diff and let me know if it works? diff --git a/drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c b/drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c index ae758ba6dc3d..4258acac0162 100644 --- a/drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c +++ b/drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c @@ -987,45 +987,6 @@ int gpiochip_add_data_with_key(struct gpio_chip *gc, void *data, gdev->ngpio = gc->ngpio; gdev->can_sleep = gc->can_sleep; - - scoped_guard(mutex, &gpio_devices_lock) { - /* - * TODO: this allocates a Linux GPIO number base in the global - * GPIO numberspace for this chip.

I think I hit the same, or a similar bug, on my Edgerouter 6P (Cavium Octeon III):
