This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled regulator: core: fix use_count leakage when handling boot-on 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: regulator-core-fix-use_count-leakage-when-handling-b.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. commit 994f0b98f76fcd36665ee53c6dedfc1b28624f98 Author: Rui Zhang <zr.zhang@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Dec 1 11:38:06 2022 +0800 regulator: core: fix use_count leakage when handling boot-on [ Upstream commit 0591b14ce0398125439c759f889647369aa616a0 ] I found a use_count leakage towards supply regulator of rdev with boot-on option. ┌───────────────────┐ ┌───────────────────┐ │ regulator_dev A │ │ regulator_dev B │ │ (boot-on) │ │ (boot-on) │ │ use_count=0 │◀──supply──│ use_count=1 │ │ │ │ │ └───────────────────┘ └───────────────────┘ In case of rdev(A) configured with `regulator-boot-on', the use_count of supplying regulator(B) will increment inside regulator_enable(rdev->supply). Thus, B will acts like always-on, and further balanced regulator_enable/disable cannot actually disable it anymore. However, B was also configured with `regulator-boot-on', we wish it could be disabled afterwards.
