[PATCH v6 00/12] Fix broken usage of driver_override (and kfree of static memory)

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

Hi,

This is a continuation of my old patchset from 2019. [1]
Back then, few drivers set driver_override wrong. I fixed Exynos
in a different way after discussions. QCOM NGD was not fixed
and a new user appeared - IMX SCU.

It seems "char *" in driver_override looks too consty, so we
tend to make a mistake of storing there string literals.

Changes since latest v6
=======================
1. Patch #1: Don't check for !dev and handle len==0 (Andy).
2. New patch #11 (rpmsg): split constifying of local variable to a new patch.

Changes since latest v5
=======================
1. Patch 11 (rpmsg): split from previous patch 11 - easier to understand the
   need of it.
2. Fix build issue in patch 12 (rpmsg).

Changes since latest v4
=======================
1. Correct commit msgs and comments after Andy's review.
2. Re-order code in new helper (patch #1) (Andy).
3. Add tags.

Changes since latest v3
=======================
1. Wrap comments, extend comment in driver_set_override() about newline.
2. Minor commit msg fixes.
3. Add tags.

Changes since latest v2
=======================
1. Make all driver_override fields as "const char *", just like SPI
   and VDPA. (Mark)
2. Move "count" check to the new helper and add "count" argument. (Michael)
3. Fix typos in docs, patch subject. Extend doc. (Michael, Bjorn)
4. Compare pointers to reduce number of string readings in the helper.
5. Fix clk-imx return value.

Changes since latest v1 (not the old 2019 solution):
====================================================
https://lore.kernel.org/all/708eabb1-7b35-d525-d4c3-451d4a3de84f@rasmusvillemoes.dk/
1. Add helper for setting driver_override.
2. Use the helper.

Dependencies (and stable):
==========================
1. All patches, including last three fixes, depend on the first patch
   introducing the helper.
2. The last three commits - fixes - are probably not backportable
   directly, because of this dependency. I don't know how to express
   this dependency here, since stable-kernel-rules.rst mentions only commits as
   possible dependencies.

[PATCH v6 01/12] driver: platform: Add helper for safer setting of driver_override

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

Several core drivers and buses expect that driver_override is a
dynamically allocated memory thus later they can kfree() it.

However such assumption is not documented, there were in the past and
there are already users setting it to a string literal. This leads to
kfree() of static memory during device release (e.g. in error paths or
during unbind):

Provide a helper which clearly documents the usage of driver_override.
This will allow later to reuse the helper and reduce the amount of
duplicated code.

Convert the platform driver to use a new helper and make the
driver_override field const char (it is not modified by the core).

[PATCH v6 02/12] amba: Use driver_set_override() instead of open-coding

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

Use a helper to set driver_override to reduce the amount of duplicated
code.  Make the driver_override field const char, because it is not
modified by the core and it matches other subsystems.

[PATCH v6 06/12] s390/cio: Use driver_set_override() instead of open-coding

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

Use a helper to set driver_override to the reduce amount of duplicated
code.  Make the driver_override field const char, because it is not
modified by the core and it matches other subsystems.

[PATCH v6 09/12] clk: imx: scu: Fix kfree() of static memory on setting driver_override

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

The driver_override field from platform driver should not be initialized
from static memory (string literal) because the core later kfree() it,
for example when driver_override is set via sysfs.

Use dedicated helper to set driver_override properly.

[PATCH v6 10/12] slimbus: qcom-ngd: Fix kfree() of static memory on setting driver_override

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

The driver_override field from platform driver should not be initialized
from static memory (string literal) because the core later kfree() it,
for example when driver_override is set via sysfs.

Use dedicated helper to set driver_override properly.

[PATCH v6 11/12] rpmsg: Constify local variable in field store macro

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

Memory pointed by variable 'old' in field store macro is not modified,
so it can be made a pointer to const.

Still not sure if we should distinguish (s == NULL && len == 0) from
(s != NULL && len == 0).
Supplying the latter seems confusing (yes, I see that in the old code). Perhaps
!s test, in case you want to leave it, should be also commented.

Another approach is to split above to two checks and move !s after !len.

You may deduplicate this one, by

But I understand your intention to keep lock-unlock in one place, so
perhaps dropping that label would be even better in this case and
keeping it

       kfree(old);

Still not sure if we should distinguish (s == NULL && len == 0) from
(s != NULL && len == 0).
Supplying the latter seems confusing (yes, I see that in the old code). Perhaps
!s test, in case you want to leave it, should be also commented.

Another approach is to split above to two checks and move !s after !len.

You may deduplicate this one, by

               goto out_unlock_free;

But I understand your intention to keep lock-unlock in one place, so
perhaps dropping that label would be even better in this case and
keeping it

       kfree(old);
       return 0;

here instead of goto.

The old semantics were focused on sysfs usage, so clearing is by passing
an empty string. In the case of sysfs empty string is actually "\n". I
intend to keep the semantics also for the in-kernel usage and in such
case empty string can be also "".

If I understand your comment correctly, you propose to change it to NULL
for in-kernel usage, but that would change the semantics.

I don't follow why... The !override and !s are invalid uses. !len is a
valid user for internal callers, just like "\n" is for sysfs.

Yes, exactly.

Slightly more code, but indeed maybe easier to follow. I'll do like this.

Yes, exactly.

Slightly more code, but indeed maybe easier to follow. I'll do like this.

The old semantics were focused on sysfs usage, so clearing is by passing
an empty string. In the case of sysfs empty string is actually "\n". I
intend to keep the semantics also for the in-kernel usage and in such
case empty string can be also "".

If I understand your comment correctly, you propose to change it to NULL
for in-kernel usage, but that would change the semantics.

> Another approach is to split above to two checks and move !s after !len.

I don't follow why... The !override and !s are invalid uses. !len is a
valid user for internal callers, just like "\n" is for sysfs.

You mean the case we discuss here (to clear override with "")? Sure.

Yes. It's also possible to have a wrapper for sysfs use.

I understand but always supplying s maybe an overhead for in-kernel usages.

In any case, it's not critical right now, just a remark that it can be modified.

Is it not possible to use rpdev->id.name instead of "rpmsg_ctrl" ?
rpdev->id.name has "rpmsg_ctrl" from strcpy(rpdev->id.name, "rpmsg_ctrl");

Same for "rpmsg_ns" as well

Is it not possible to use rpdev->id.name instead of "rpmsg_ctrl" ?
rpdev->id.name has "rpmsg_ctrl" from strcpy(rpdev->id.name, "rpmsg_ctrl");

Same for "rpmsg_ns" as well

It's possible. I kept the pattern of duplicating the string literal
because original code had it, but I don't mind to change it. In the
output assembler that might be additional instruction - need to
dereference the rpdev pointer - but that does not matter much.

Krzysztof

OK, it's a suggestion as same string constant duplicated thrice,

Any change in this string constant in future will need changes
in 3 places , by using "rpdev->id.name", the change is limited
to 1 place.
