If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 606a5d4227e4610399c61086ac55c46068a90b03 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Beata Michalska <beata.michalska@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 4 Mar 2021 15:07:34 +0000 Subject: opp: Don't drop extra references to OPPs accidentally From: Beata Michalska <beata.michalska@xxxxxxx> commit 606a5d4227e4610399c61086ac55c46068a90b03 upstream. We are required to call dev_pm_opp_put() from outside of the opp_table->lock as debugfs removal needs to happen lock-less to avoid circular dependency issues. commit cf1fac943c63 ("opp: Reduce the size of critical section in _opp_kref_release()") tried to fix that introducing a new routine _opp_get_next() which keeps returning OPPs that can be freed by the callers and this routine shall be called without holding the opp_table->lock. Though the commit overlooked the fact that the OPPs can be referenced by other users as well and this routine will end up dropping references which were taken by other users and hence freeing the OPPs prematurely. In effect, other users of the OPPs will end up having invalid pointers at hand. We didn't see any crash reports earlier as the exact situation never happened, though it is certainly possible. We need a way to mark which OPPs are no longer referenced by the OPP core, so we don't drop extra references to them accidentally. This commit adds another OPP flag, "removed", which is used to track this. And now we should never end up dropping extra references to the OPPs.
