[PATCH 4.4 047/138] remoteproc: Fix potential race condition in rproc_add

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dave Gerlach <d-gerlach@xxxxxx>

commit d2e12e66a939c54ed84e5f1b6947f0c45f6c56eb upstream.

rproc_add adds the newly created remoteproc to a list for use by
rproc_get_by_phandle and then does some additional processing to finish
adding the remoteproc. This leaves a small window of time in which the
rproc is available in the list but not yet fully initialized, so if
another driver comes along and gets a handle to the rproc, it will be
invalid. Rearrange the code in rproc_add to make sure the rproc is added
to the list only after it has been successfuly initialized.

Fixes: fec47d863587 ("remoteproc: introduce rproc_get_by_phandle API")
