Subject: pcmcia: fix socket refcount decrementing on each resume
This fixes a memory-corrupting bug: not only does it cause the warning,
but as a result of dropping the refcount to zero, it causes the
pcmcia_socket0 device structure to be freed while it still has references,
causing slab caches corruption. A fatal oops quickly follows this warning
- often even just a 'dmesg' following the warning causes the kernel to
oops.
While testing suspend/resume on an ARM device with PCMCIA support, and
a CF card inserted, I found that after five suspend and resumes, the
kernel would complain, and shortly die after with slab corruption.
WARNING: at include/linux/kref.h:41 kobject_get+0x28/0x50()
As the message doesn't give a clue about which kobject, and the built-in
debugging in drivers/base/power/main.c happens too late, this was added
right before each get_device():
printk("%s: %p [%s] %u\n", __func__, dev, kobject_name(&dev->kobj), atomic_read(&dev->kobj.kref.refcount));
and on the 3rd s2ram cycle, the following behaviour observed:

Looking at commit 7b24e7988263 ("pcmcia: split up central event handler"),
the following change was made to cs.c:
@@ -546,8 +524,8 @@ static int socket_late_resume(struct pcmcia_socket *skt)
return 0;
}
#endif
-
- send_event(skt, CS_EVENT_PM_RESUME, CS_EVENT_PRI_LOW);
+ if (!(skt->state & SOCKET_CARDBUS) && (skt->callback))
+ skt->callback->early_resume(skt);
return 0;
}
And the corresponding change in ds.c is from:
-static int ds_event(struct pcmcia_socket *skt, event_t event, int priority)
-{
- struct pcmcia_socket *s = pcmcia_get_socket(skt);
...
- switch (event) {
...
- case CS_EVENT_PM_RESUME:
- if (verify_cis_cache(skt) != 0) {
- dev_dbg(&skt->dev, "cis mismatch - different card\n");
- /* first, remove the card */
- ds_event(skt, CS_EVENT_CARD_REMOVAL, CS_EVENT_PRI_HIGH);
- mutex_lock(&s->ops_mutex);
- destroy_cis_cache(skt);
- kfree(skt->fake_cis);
- skt->fake_cis = NULL;
- s->functions = 0;
- mutex_unlock(&s->ops_mutex);
- /* now, add the new card */
- ds_event(skt, CS_EVENT_CARD_INSERTION,
- CS_EVENT_PRI_LOW);
- }
- break;
...
- }
- pcmcia_put_socket(s);
- return 0;
-} /* ds_event */
to:
+static int pcmcia_bus_early_resume(struct pcmcia_socket *skt)
+{
+ if (!verify_cis_cache(skt)) {
+ pcmcia_put_socket(skt);
+ return 0;
+ }
+ dev_dbg(&skt->dev, "cis mismatch - different card\n");
+ /* first, remove the card */
+ pcmcia_bus_remove(skt);
+ mutex_lock(&skt->ops_mutex);
+ destroy_cis_cache(skt);
+ kfree(skt->fake_cis);
+ skt->fake_cis = NULL;
+ skt->functions = 0;
+ mutex_unlock(&skt->ops_mutex);
+ /* now, add the new card */
+ pcmcia_bus_add(skt);
+ return 0;
+}
As can be seen, the original function called pcmcia_get_socket() and
pcmcia_put_socket() around the guts, whereas the replacement code
calls pcmcia_put_socket() only in one path. This creates an imbalance
in the refcounting.
Testing with pcmcia_put_socket() put removed shows that the bug is gone:
