[PATCH 5.4 056/153] firmware: coreboot: Register bus in module init

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

 



From: Brian Norris <briannorris@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 65946690ed8d972fdb91a74ee75ac0f0f0d68321 ]

The coreboot_table driver registers a coreboot bus while probing a
"coreboot_table" device representing the coreboot table memory region.
Probing this device (i.e., registering the bus) is a dependency for the
module_init() functions of any driver for this bus (e.g.,
memconsole-coreboot.c / memconsole_driver_init()).

With synchronous probe, this dependency works OK, as the link order in
the Makefile ensures coreboot_table_driver_init() (and thus,
coreboot_table_probe()) completes before a coreboot device driver tries
to add itself to the bus.

With asynchronous probe, however, coreboot_table_probe() may race with
memconsole_driver_init(), and so we're liable to hit one of these two:

1. coreboot_driver_register() eventually hits "[...] the bus was not
   initialized.", and the memconsole driver fails to register; or
2. coreboot_driver_register() gets past #1, but still races with
   bus_register() and hits some other undefined/crashing behavior (e.g.,
   in driver_find() [1])

We can resolve this by registering the bus in our initcall, and only
deferring "device" work (scanning the coreboot memory region and
creating sub-devices) to probe().

[1] Example failure, using 'driver_async_probe=*' kernel command line:
