This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled w1: fix deadloop in __w1_remove_master_device() to the 5.15-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: w1-fix-deadloop-in-__w1_remove_master_device.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d00ed71b6427884eac15b08d9d475de8b4e7d1b4 Author: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Dec 5 16:04:34 2022 +0800 w1: fix deadloop in __w1_remove_master_device() [ Upstream commit 25d5648802f12ae486076ceca5d7ddf1fef792b2 ] I got a deadloop report while doing device(ds2482) add/remove test: [ 162.241881] w1_master_driver w1_bus_master1: Waiting for w1_bus_master1 to become free: refcnt=1. [ 163.272251] w1_master_driver w1_bus_master1: Waiting for w1_bus_master1 to become free: refcnt=1. [ 164.296157] w1_master_driver w1_bus_master1: Waiting for w1_bus_master1 to become free: refcnt=1. ... __w1_remove_master_device() can't return, because the dev->refcnt is not zero. w1_add_master_device() | w1_alloc_dev() | atomic_set(&dev->refcnt, 2) | kthread_run() | |__w1_remove_master_device() | kthread_stop() // KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP is set, | // threadfn(w1_process) won't be | // called. | kthread() | | // refcnt will never be 0, it's deadloop. | while (atomic_read(&dev->refcnt)) {...} After calling w1_add_master_device(), w1_process() is not really invoked, before w1_process() starting, if kthread_stop() is called in __w1_remove_master_device(), w1_process() will never be called, the refcnt can not be decreased, then it causes deadloop in remove function because of non-zero refcnt. We need to make sure w1_process() is really started, so move the set refcnt into w1_process() to fix this problem.
