[ Upstream commit 4f4b374332ec0ae9c738ff8ec9bed5cd97ff9adc ]

This is the much more correct fix for my earlier attempt at:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/12/10/118

Short recap:

- There's not actually a locking issue, it's just lockdep being a bit
  too eager to complain about a possible deadlock.

- Contrary to what I claimed the real problem is recursion on
  kn-&gt;count. Greg pointed me at sysfs_break_active_protection(), used
  by the scsi subsystem to allow a sysfs file to unbind itself. That
  would be a real deadlock, which isn't what's happening here. Also,
  breaking the active protection means we'd need to manually handle
  all the lifetime fun.

- With Rafael we discussed the task_work approach, which kinda works,
  but has two downsides: It's a functional change for a lockdep
  annotation issue, and it won't work for the bind file (which needs
  to get the errno from the driver load function back to userspace).

- Greg also asked why this never showed up: To hit this you need to
  unregister a 2nd driver from the unload code of your first driver. I
  guess only gpus do that. The bug has always been there, but only
  with a recent patch series did we add more locks so that lockdep
  built a chain from unbinding the snd-hda driver to the
  acpi_video_unregister call.

<title>driver core: Add missing dev-&gt;bus-&gt;need_parent_lock checks</title>

commit e121a833745b4708b660e3fe6776129c2956b041 upstream.

__device_release_driver() has to check dev-&gt;bus-&gt;need_parent_lock
before dropping the parent lock and acquiring it again as it may
attempt to drop a lock that hasn't been acquired or lock a device
that shouldn't be locked and create a lock imbalance.

Fixes: 8c97a46af04b (driver core: hold dev's parent lock when needed)

commit e121a833745b4708b660e3fe6776129c2956b041 upstream.

__device_release_driver() has to check dev-&gt;bus-&gt;need_parent_lock
before dropping the parent lock and acquiring it again as it may
attempt to drop a lock that hasn't been acquired or lock a device
that shouldn't be locked and create a lock imbalance.

<title>platform-msi: Free descriptors in platform_msi_domain_free()</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 81b1e6e6a8590a19257e37a1633bec098d499c57 upstream.

Since the addition of platform MSI support, there were two helpers
supposed to allocate/free IRQs for a device:

    platform_msi_domain_alloc_irqs()
    platform_msi_domain_free_irqs()

In these helpers, IRQ descriptors are allocated in the "alloc" routine
while they are freed in the "free" one.

Later, two other helpers have been added to handle IRQ domains on top
of MSI domains:

    platform_msi_domain_alloc()
    platform_msi_domain_free()

Seen from the outside, the logic is pretty close with the former
helpers and people used it with the same logic as before: a
platform_msi_domain_alloc() call should be balanced with a
platform_msi_domain_free() call. While this is probably what was
intended to do, the platform_msi_domain_free() does not remove/free
the IRQ descriptor(s) created/inserted in
platform_msi_domain_alloc().

One effect of such situation is that removing a module that requested
an IRQ will let one orphaned IRQ descriptor (with an allocated MSI
entry) in the device descriptors list. Next time the module will be
inserted back, one will observe that the allocation will happen twice
in the MSI domain, one time for the remaining descriptor, one time for
the new one. It also has the side effect to quickly overshoot the
maximum number of allocated MSI and then prevent any module requesting
an interrupt in the same domain to be inserted anymore.

This situation has been met with loops of insertion/removal of the
mvpp2.ko module (requesting 15 MSIs each time).

If __device_suspend() runs asynchronously (in which case the device
passed to it is in dpm_suspended_list at that point) and it returns
early on an error or pending wakeup, and the power.direct_complete
flag has been set for the device already, the subsequent
device_resume() will be confused by that and it will call
pm_runtime_enable() incorrectly, as runtime PM has not been
disabled for the device by __device_suspend().

To avoid that, clear power.direct_complete if __device_suspend()
is not going to disable runtime PM for the device before returning.

When calling request_firmware_into_buf() with the FW_OPT_NOCACHE flag
it is expected that firmware is loaded into buffer from memory.
But inside alloc_lookup_fw_priv every new firmware that is loaded is
added to the firmware cache (fwc) list head. So if any driver requests
a firmware that is already loaded the code iterates over the above
mentioned list and it can end up giving a pointer to other device driver's
firmware buffer.
Also the existing copy may either be modified by drivers, remote processors
or even freed. This causes a potential security issue with batched requests
when using request_firmware_into_buf.

Fix alloc_lookup_fw_priv to not add to the fwc head list if FW_OPT_NOCACHE
is set, and also don't do the lookup in the list.

Within show_valid_zones() the function test_pages_in_a_zone() should be
called for online memory blocks only.

Otherwise it might lead to the VM_BUG_ON due to uninitialized struct
pages (when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS kernel option is set):

That VM_BUG_ON was triggered by the page poisoning introduced in
mm/sparse.c with the git commit d0dc12e86b31 ("mm/memory_hotplug:
optimize memory hotplug").

With the same commit the new 'nid' field has been added to the struct
memory_block in order to store and later on derive the node id for
offline pages (instead of accessing struct page which might be
uninitialized).  But one reference to nid in show_valid_zones() function
has been overlooked.  Fixed with current commit.  Also, nr_pages will
not be used any more after test_pages_in_a_zone() call, do not update
it.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here are all of the driver core and related patches for 4.19-rc1.

  Nothing huge here, just a number of small cleanups and the ability to
  now stop the deferred probing after init happens.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with only a merge
  issue reported"
