This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled clk: Don't parent clks until the parent is fully registered to the 5.4-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: clk-don-t-parent-clks-until-the-parent-is-fully-regi.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0ec8f488fd147dcf3b840f9198cf446a600c96ed Author: Mike Tipton <quic_mdtipton@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Nov 8 20:34:38 2021 -0800 clk: Don't parent clks until the parent is fully registered [ Upstream commit 54baf56eaa40aa5cdcd02b3c20d593e4e1211220 ] Before commit fc0c209c147f ("clk: Allow parents to be specified without string names") child clks couldn't find their parent until the parent clk was added to a list in __clk_core_init(). After that commit, child clks can reference their parent clks directly via a clk_hw pointer, or they can lookup that clk_hw pointer via DT if the parent clk is registered with an OF clk provider. The common clk framework treats hw->core being non-NULL as "the clk is registered" per the logic within clk_core_fill_parent_index(): parent = entry->hw->core; /* * We have a direct reference but it isn't registered yet? * Orphan it and let clk_reparent() update the orphan status * when the parent is registered. */ if (!parent) Therefore we need to be extra careful to not set hw->core until the clk is fully registered with the clk framework. Otherwise we can get into a situation where a child finds a parent clk and we move the child clk off the orphan list when the parent isn't actually registered, wrecking our enable accounting and breaking critical clks. Consider the following scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- struct clk_hw clkBad; struct clk_hw clkA; clkA.init.parent_hws = { &clkBad }; clk_hw_register(&clkA) clk_hw_register(&clkBad) ... __clk_register() hw->core = core ... __clk_register() __clk_core_init() clk_prepare_lock() __clk_init_parent() clk_core_get_parent_by_index() clk_core_fill_parent_index() if (entry->hw) { parent = entry->hw->core; At this point, 'parent' points to clkBad even though clkBad hasn't been fully registered yet. Ouch! A similar problem can happen if a clk controller registers orphan clks that are referenced in the DT node of another clk controller. Let's fix all this by only setting the hw->core pointer underneath the clk prepare lock in __clk_core_init(). This way we know that clk_core_fill_parent_index() can't see hw->core be non-NULL until the clk is fully registered.
