This problem was introduced by: commit daad134d6649 ("regulator: core: Request GPIO before creating sysfs entries") The error path was not updated correctly after moving GPIO registration code and in case regulator_ena_gpio_free failed, device_unregister() was called even though device_register() was not yet called. This problem breaks the boot at least on all Tegra 32-bit devices. It will also crash each device that specifices GPIO that is unavaiable at regulator_register call. Here's error log I've got when forced GPIO to be invalid: [ 1.116612] usb-otg-vbus-reg: Failed to request enable GPIO10: -22 [ 1.122794] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000044 [ 1.130894] pgd = c0004000 [ 1.133598] [00000044] *pgd=00000000 [ 1.137205] Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] SMP ARM and here's backtrace from KDB: Exception stack(0xef11fbd0 to 0xef11fc18) fbc0: 00000000 c0738a14 00000000 00000000 fbe0: c0b2a0b0 00000000 00000000 c0738a14 c0b5fdf8 00000001 ef7f6074 ef11fc4c fc00: ef11fc50 ef11fc20 c02a8344 c02a7f1c 60000013 ffffffff [<c010cee0>] (__dabt_svc) from [<c02a7f1c>] (kernfs_find_ns+0x18/0xf8) [<c02a7f1c>] (kernfs_find_ns) from [<c02a8344>] (kernfs_find_and_get_ns+0x40/0x58) [<c02a8344>] (kernfs_find_and_get_ns) from [<c02ac4a4>] (sysfs_unmerge_group+0x28/0x68) [<c02ac4a4>] (sysfs_unmerge_group) from [<c044389c>] (dpm_sysfs_remove+0x30/0x5c) [<c044389c>] (dpm_sysfs_remove) from [<c0436ba8>] (device_del+0x48/0x1f4) [<c0436ba8>] (device_del) from [<c0436d84>] (device_unregister+0x30/0x6c) [<c0436d84>] (device_unregister) from [<c0403910>] (regulator_register+0x6d0/0xdac) [<c0403910>] (regulator_register) from [<c04052d4>] (devm_regulator_register+0x50/0x84) [<c04052d4>] (devm_regulator_register) from [<c0406298>] (reg_fixed_voltage_probe+0x25c/0x3c0) [<c0406298>] (reg_fixed_voltage_probe) from [<c043d21c>] (platform_drv_probe+0x60/0xb0) [<c043d21c>] (platform_drv_probe) from [<c043b078>] (driver_probe_device+0x24c/0x440) [<c043b078>] (driver_probe_device) from [<c043b5e8>] (__device_attach_driver+0xc0/0x120) [<c043b5e8>] (__device_attach_driver) from [<c043901c>] (bus_for_each_drv+0x6c/0x98) [<c043901c>] (bus_for_each_drv) from [<c043ad20>] (__device_attach+0xac/0x138) [<c043ad20>] (__device_attach) from [<c043b664>] (device_initial_probe+0x1c/0x20) [<c043b664>] (device_initial_probe) from [<c043a074>] (bus_probe_device+0x94/0x9c) [<c043a074>] (bus_probe_device) from [<c043a610>] (deferred_probe_work_func+0x80/0xcc) [<c043a610>] (deferred_probe_work_func) from [<c01381d0>] (process_one_work+0x158/0x454) [<c01381d0>] (process_one_work) from [<c013854c>] (worker_thread+0x38/0x510) [<c013854c>] (worker_thread) from [<c013e154>] (kthread+0xe8/0x104) [<c013e154>] (kthread) from [<c0108638>] (ret_from_fork+0x14/0x3c) Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Adamski <krzysztof.adamski@xxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: Jon Hunter <jonathanh@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Jon Hunter <jonathanh@xxxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Jon Hunter <jonathanh@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes compared to v2: - Extended commit message Changes compared to v1: - Fixed error path of device_register too, as noticed by Jon drivers/regulator/core.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/regulator/core.c b/drivers/regulator/core.c index 6ee9ba4..055f8c1 100644 --- a/drivers/regulator/core.c +++ b/drivers/regulator/core.c @@ -3919,7 +3919,7 @@ regulator_register(const struct regulator_desc *regulator_desc, if (ret != 0) { rdev_err(rdev, "Failed to request enable GPIO%d: %d\n", config->ena_gpio, ret); - goto wash; + goto clean; } } @@ -3931,7 +3931,7 @@ regulator_register(const struct regulator_desc *regulator_desc, ret = device_register(&rdev->dev); if (ret != 0) { put_device(&rdev->dev); - goto clean; + goto wash; } dev_set_drvdata(&rdev->dev, rdev); @@ -3974,13 +3974,13 @@ unset_supplies: scrub: regulator_ena_gpio_free(rdev); - -wash: device_unregister(&rdev->dev); /* device core frees rdev */ rdev = ERR_PTR(ret); goto out; +wash: + regulator_ena_gpio_free(rdev); clean: kfree(rdev); rdev = ERR_PTR(ret); -- 2.1.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
