device_wakeup_enable() uses dev_name(dev) as the wakeup source name.
When it gets called with a device with its name not yet set, ws structure
with ws->name = NULL gets created.

When kernel is booted with wakeup_source_activate enabled, it will panic
when the trace point code tries to derefernces ws->name.

Change device_wakeup_enable() to check for dev_name(dev) null condition
and return -EINVAL to avoid panics when device_wakeup_enable() gets called
before device is fully initialized with its name.

The following panic resulted from power_supply_register() registering
wakeup source with a null device name.

Right. ok I will re-cut the patch with WARN_ON and send it. fyi I did 
send fix for the driver (power_supply) as well.

Can you please use WARN_ON(!dev_name(dev)) here?  While I agree that it is a
bad idea to crash the kernel because dev has no name, that indicates a driver
bug that shouldn't be too easy to ignore.

Thanks!

Why is a driver calling kobject_set_name() instead of device_set_name()?

Yes, it's really the same thing deep down, but drivers should never care
about a kobject, just 'struct device'.  Well, even then it usually
should care about it's type of 'struct device' but that's a different
issue...

Anyway, not saying your patch is wrong at all, just for the future if
people are looking for code cleanups...

thanks,

That's OK (thanks for taking care of this), but there may be more brilliant
stuff like that in the future and people should see right away that something's
wrong in those cases.

Use of kobject_set_name() did look odd to me. I will fix that for this 
driver by re-doing the patch while I am it. About the power_supply 
patch, stable needs fixing as well, and I will have to backport once he 
fix goes into the mainline.

3.11

Rafael/Anton/David,

I added WARN_ON and testing the patch. We have two instance of 
device_wakeup_enable() calls with null dev_name during boot. Both are 
from power_supply_register(). One when AC Adapter [ADP1] is added and 
the second when device: 'BAT1' gets added.

[    4.412959] device_wakeup_enable() called with null device nme
[    4.412967] device: 'ADP1': device_add

[    4.460190] device_wakeup_enable() called with null device nme
[    4.460197] device: 'BAT1': device_add


I think adding WARN_ON to device_wakeup_enable() and fix to 
power_supply_register() should go in as a dependent patch series, to 
avoid panics during boot. As soon as the device_wakeup_enable() WARN_ON 
goes in, I suspect most laptops will panic during boot, similar to what 
  I am seeing in my testing. Thoughts?

I will send these fixes, maybe these two can be funneled through PM tree 
with power_supply maintainers ACK for the power_supply_register() fix.

thanks,
