Hi, The patchset fixes invalid memory accesses in certain race scenarios by moving ownership of struct power_supply to the core. All drivers are modified. TLDR for driver and subsystem maintainers ========================================= Two patches of patchset change power_supply_register() function so in the same time they touch all drivers. I am kindly asking for acks, review and help in testing. Especially please take a look at: - patch 4: power_supply: Move run-time configuration to separate structure - patch 13: power_supply: Change ownership from driver to core I still need acks for changes in subsystems: 1. x86/olpc, 2. ACPI, 3. HID. Problem to fix ============== Patchset tries to fix invalid memory accesses occurring in following race scenario: Thread 1: charger manager, CONSUMER Thread 2: power supply driver, PROVIDER THREAD 1 (consumer) THREAD 2 (provider) =================== =================== psy = power_supply_get_by_name() Driver unbind, .remove power_supply_unregister() Device fully removed psy->get_property() The consumer of power supply will reference invalid memory because the provider already freed it. The fix ======= To properly fix the race the patchset: 1. Moves ownership of power_supply structure from driver (provider) to power supply core. 2. Adds power_supply_get_property()-like API for safe access by consumer. 3. Adds power_supply_put() which will reclaim memory. I modifed all drivers I found. However I only compile tested them (plus Smatch, Sparse and coccicheck). I did not test them on real hardware (except max14577, max77693, max17040, max17042 and charger-manager). What the patchset does in steps =============================== 1. Some preparation steps are necessary - patch 3 and 4. The driver implementing power supply won't be able to fill structure before calling power_supply_register(). So 'power_supply_config' is introduced in patch 4 ("power_supply: Move run-time configuration to separate structure"). Unfortunately this touches all drivers. *All drivers are touched.* 2. Safe API wrappers (and usage counter) are added (power_supply_*()). 3. Patch 13: ownership of 'struct power_supply' is moved from driver to the core. *All drivers are touched.* 4. power_supply_put() is added which reclaims resources. Dependencies ============ The patchset is rebased on v4.0-rc1 and latest battery tree. Bisect-ability is preserved. All later patches depend on previous ones so it could be pulled in steps, but cherry-picking won't work. Patchset is available also here: https://git.linaro.org/people/marek.szyprowski/linux-srpol.git branch: v4.0-rc1-power-supply-core-ownership Changes since v5 ================ 1. Add two fixes for compal-laptop to beginning of this patchset to avoid conflicts. They touch the same place as this patchset. I got acks for them (Darren Hart). 2. Rebased on current battery tree. This introduced new changes: - updated bq27x00_battery driver, - new driver: axp288_fuel_gauge. 3. Add acks: Pavel Machek's (patch 22/22), Darren Hart (p. 1 and 2), Guenter Roeck (p. 1). Changes since v4 ================ 1. Rebased on current battery tree. This introduced new changes: - new devm-like register functions, - new driver: da9150-charger. 2. Add acks: Darren Hart (compal-laptop.c, p. 11), Lee Jones (mfd, p. 11). Changes since v3 ================ 1. Fix Jonghwa's email in his ack (spotted by Stefan Wahren) 2. Update power_supply_register() documentation. 3. Fix putting the reference to power supply in bq2415x_charger.c (put it when it is non-NULL). 4. Add acks: Robert Jarzmik (patch 20), Darren Hart (p. 2), Pavel Machek (p. 1-3), Marc Dietrich (p. 2 and 11). Changes since v2 ================ 1. Rewrite all drivers to new power_supply_register(). 2. Add reviewed-by Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz (internal review) 3. Add reviewed-by Sebastian Reichel [2] (to patches which I did not change in major way between v2 and v3). 4. Use atomic usage counter of power supply on each of: a. register/unregister, b. get/put. Changes since v1 ================ 1. Add new patches (1, 2, 11, 19). 2. Preserved ack-s where there weren't any changes. 3. Patch 3: Add use counter. 4. Patch 3: Don't add wrapper for set_charged() because already exists one.
