[PATCH 6.1 18/86] leds: trigger: Call synchronize_rcu() before calling trig->activate()

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

 



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

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

From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit b1bbd20f35e19774ea01989320495e09ac44fba3 ]

Some triggers call led_trigger_event() from their activate() callback
to initialize the brightness of the LED for which the trigger is being
activated.

In order for the LED's initial state to be set correctly this requires that
the led_trigger_event() call uses the new version of trigger->led_cdevs,
which has the new LED.

AFAICT led_trigger_event() will always use the new version when it is
running on the same CPU as where the list_add_tail_rcu() call was made,
which is why the missing synchronize_rcu() has not lead to bug reports.
But if activate() is pre-empted, sleeps or uses a worker then
the led_trigger_event() call may run on another CPU which may still use
the old trigger->led_cdevs list.

Add a synchronize_rcu() call to ensure that any led_trigger_event() calls
done from activate() always use the new list.

Triggers using led_trigger_event() from their activate() callback are:
net/bluetooth/leds.c, net/rfkill/core.c and drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c.
