This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled coresight: ultrasoc-smb: Config SMB buffer before register sink to the 6.6-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: coresight-ultrasoc-smb-config-smb-buffer-before-regi.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 614e15d7ebf1899b91f2375dd4496e6971c5df79 Author: Junhao He <hejunhao3@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 14 21:33:44 2023 +0800 coresight: ultrasoc-smb: Config SMB buffer before register sink [ Upstream commit 830a7f54db102c889a3fe1c0a225f369ac05f07f ] The SMB dirver register the enable/disable sysfs interface in function smb_register_sink(), however the buffer depends on the following configuration to work well. So it'll be possible for user to access an unreset one. Move the config buffer operation to before register_sink(). Ignore the return value, if smb_config_inport() fails. That will cause the hardwares disable trace path to fail, should not affect SMB driver remove. So we make smb_remove() return success, Fixes: 06f5c2926aaa ("drivers/coresight: Add UltraSoc System Memory Buffer driver") Signed-off-by: Junhao He <hejunhao3@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: James Clark <james.clark@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@xxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231114133346.30489-3-hejunhao3@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/ultrasoc-smb.c b/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/ultrasoc-smb.c index 0a0fe9fcc57f9..2f2aba90a5148 100644 --- a/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/ultrasoc-smb.c +++ b/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/ultrasoc-smb.c @@ -583,37 +583,32 @@ static int smb_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) return ret; } + ret = smb_config_inport(dev, true); + if (ret) + return ret; + + platform_set_drvdata(pdev, drvdata); spin_lock_init(&drvdata->spinlock); drvdata->pid = -1; ret = smb_register_sink(pdev, drvdata); if (ret) { + smb_config_inport(&pdev->dev, false); dev_err(dev, "Failed to register SMB sink\n"); return ret; } - ret = smb_config_inport(dev, true); - if (ret) { - smb_unregister_sink(drvdata); - return ret; - } - - platform_set_drvdata(pdev, drvdata); - return 0; } static int smb_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) { struct smb_drv_data *drvdata = platform_get_drvdata(pdev); - int ret; - - ret = smb_config_inport(&pdev->dev, false); - if (ret) - return ret; smb_unregister_sink(drvdata); + smb_config_inport(&pdev->dev, false); + return 0; }
