This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled PM: runtime: Fix race getting/putting suppliers at probe to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: pm-runtime-fix-race-getting-putting-suppliers-at-probe.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 9dfacc54a8661bc8be6e08cffee59596ec59f263 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2021 12:56:19 +0200 Subject: PM: runtime: Fix race getting/putting suppliers at probe From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx> commit 9dfacc54a8661bc8be6e08cffee59596ec59f263 upstream. pm_runtime_put_suppliers() must not decrement rpm_active unless the consumer is suspended. That is because, otherwise, it could suspend suppliers for an active consumer. That can happen as follows: static int driver_probe_device(struct device_driver *drv, struct device *dev) { int ret = 0; if (!device_is_registered(dev)) return -ENODEV; dev->can_match = true; pr_debug("bus: '%s': %s: matched device %s with driver %s\n", drv->bus->name, __func__, dev_name(dev), drv->name); pm_runtime_get_suppliers(dev); if (dev->parent) pm_runtime_get_sync(dev->parent); At this point, dev can runtime suspend so rpm_put_suppliers() can run, rpm_active becomes 1 (the lowest value). pm_runtime_barrier(dev); if (initcall_debug) ret = really_probe_debug(dev, drv); else ret = really_probe(dev, drv); Probe callback can have runtime resumed dev, and then runtime put so dev is awaiting autosuspend, but rpm_active is 2. pm_request_idle(dev); if (dev->parent) pm_runtime_put(dev->parent); pm_runtime_put_suppliers(dev); Now pm_runtime_put_suppliers() will put the supplier i.e. rpm_active 2 -> 1, but consumer can still be active. return ret; } Fix by checking the runtime status. For any status other than RPM_SUSPENDED, rpm_active can be considered to be "owned" by rpm_[get/put]_suppliers() and pm_runtime_put_suppliers() need do nothing.
