4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Peter Chen <peter.chen@xxxxxxx> commit d5a4f93511b7000183c0d528739b824752139f79 upstream. The port->logbuffer_head may be wrong if the two processes enters _tcpm_log at the mostly same time. The 2nd process enters _tcpm_log before the 1st process update the index, then the 2nd process will not allocate logbuffer, when the 2nd process tries to use log buffer, the index has already updated by the 1st process, so it will get NULL pointer for updated logbuffer, the error message like below: tcpci 0-0050: Log buffer index 6 is NULL Cc: Heikki Krogerus <heikki.krogerus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jun Li <jun.li@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Peter Chen <peter.chen@xxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Heikki Krogerus <heikki.krogerus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: stable <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/usb/typec/tcpm.c | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) --- a/drivers/usb/typec/tcpm.c +++ b/drivers/usb/typec/tcpm.c @@ -388,17 +388,18 @@ static void _tcpm_log(struct tcpm_port * u64 ts_nsec = local_clock(); unsigned long rem_nsec; + mutex_lock(&port->logbuffer_lock); if (!port->logbuffer[port->logbuffer_head]) { port->logbuffer[port->logbuffer_head] = kzalloc(LOG_BUFFER_ENTRY_SIZE, GFP_KERNEL); - if (!port->logbuffer[port->logbuffer_head]) + if (!port->logbuffer[port->logbuffer_head]) { + mutex_unlock(&port->logbuffer_lock); return; + } } vsnprintf(tmpbuffer, sizeof(tmpbuffer), fmt, args); - mutex_lock(&port->logbuffer_lock); - if (tcpm_log_full(port)) { port->logbuffer_head = max(port->logbuffer_head - 1, 0); strcpy(tmpbuffer, "overflow");
