3.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Stephen Warren <swarren@xxxxxxxxxx> commit d4d11449088ee9aca16fd1884b852b8b73a4bda1 upstream. As soon as the CD IRQ is requested, it can trigger, since it's an externally controlled event. If it does, delayed_work host->detect will be scheduled. Many host controller probe()s are roughly structured as: *_probe() { host = sdhci_pltfm_init(); mmc_of_parse(host->mmc); rc = sdhci_add_host(host); if (rc) { sdhci_pltfm_free(); return rc; } In 3.17, CD IRQs can are enabled quite early via *_probe() -> mmc_of_parse() -> mmc_gpio_request_cd() -> mmc_gpiod_request_cd_irq(). Note that in linux-next, mmc_of_parse() calls mmc_gpio*d*_request_cd() rather than mmc_gpio_request_cd(), and mmc_gpio*d*_request_cd() doesn't call mmc_gpiod_request_cd_irq(). However, this issue still exists if mmc_gpio_request_cd() is called directly before mmc_start_host(). sdhci_add_host() may fail part way through (e.g. due to deferred probe for a vmmc regulator), and sdhci_pltfm_free() does nothing to unrequest the CD IRQ nor cancel the delayed_work. sdhci_pltfm_free() is coded to assume that if sdhci_add_host() failed, then the delayed_work cannot (or should not) have been triggered. This can lead to the following with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_* enabled, when kfree(host) is eventually called inside sdhci_pltfm_free(): WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 6 at lib/debugobjects.c:263 debug_print_object+0x8c/0xb4() ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: timer_list hint: delayed_work_timer_fn+0x0/0x18 The object being complained about is host->detect. There's no need to request the CD IRQ so early; mmc_start_host() already requests it. For most SDHCI hosts at least, the typical call path that does this is: *_probe() -> sdhci_add_host() -> mmc_add_host() -> mmc_start_host(). Therefore, remove the call to mmc_gpiod_request_cd_irq() from mmc_gpio_request_cd(). This also matches mmc_gpio*d*_request_cd(), which already doesn't call mmc_gpiod_request_cd_irq(). However, some host controller drivers call mmc_gpio_request_cd() after mmc_start_host() has already been called, and assume that this will also call mmc_gpiod_request_cd_irq(). Update those drivers to explicitly call mmc_gpiod_request_cd_irq() themselves. Ideally, these drivers should be modified to move their call to mmc_gpio_request_cd() before their call to mmc_add_host(). However that's too large a change for stable. This solves the problem (eliminates the kernel error message above), since it guarantees that the IRQ can't trigger before mmc_start_host() is called. The critical point here is that once sdhci_add_host() calls mmc_add_host() -> mmc_start_host(), sdhci_add_host() is coded not to fail. In other words, if there's a chance that mmc_start_host() may have been called, and CD IRQs triggered, and the delayed_work scheduled, sdhci_add_host() won't fail, and so cleanup is no longer via sdhci_pltfm_free() (which doesn't free the IRQ or cancel the work queue) but instead must be via sdhci_remove_host(), which calls mmc_remove_host() -> mmc_stop_host(), which does free the IRQ and cancel the work queue.
