[PATCH v5 0/4] Fix null pointer deference when calling of_platform_depopulate

[PATCH v5 0/4] Fix null pointer deference when calling of_platform_depopulate

[Ricardo Ribalda Delgado]

of_platform_depopulate can lead to a kernel error when calling release_resource()

The reason is that it is trying to release a resource that was not allocated
via insert_resource()

of_platform_depopulate()
      of_platform_device_destroy()
        platform_device_unregister(platform_device *pdev)
	  platform_device_del(platform_device *pdev)
	    for (i = 0; i < pdev->num_resources; i++)
	    	      release_resource()

of_platform_populate()
      ...
      	of_device_alloc()
	  pdev = platform_device_alloc()
	  # set pdev->resource, similar to platform_device_add_resources()
	  of_device_add(platform_device *pdev)
	    # similar to platform_device_add(), but note there's no
	    # insert_resource() in this path
	    device_add(&pdev->dev)

On this patchset:

base/platform has been fixed for an hypothetical condition where parent is
set but the platform is neither MEM or IO.

Then platform_device_alloc has been modified so it supports of and amba
devices.

Finally of_device_add has been modified to use platform_device_add().

[PATCH v5 1/4] base/platform: Only insert MEM and IO resources

[Ricardo Ribalda Delgado]

platform_device_del only checks the type of the resource in order to
call release_resource.

On the other hand, platform_device_add calls insert_resource for any
resource that has a parent.

Make both code branches balanced.

[PATCH v5 2/4] base/platform: Continue on insert_resource() error

[Ricardo Ribalda Delgado]

insert_resource() can fail when the resource added  overlaps
(partially or fully) with another.

Device tree and AMBA devices may contain resources that overlap, so they
could not call platform_device_add (see 02bbde7849e6 ('Revert "of:
use platform_device_add"'))"

On the other hand, device trees are released using
platform_device_unregister(). This function calls platform_device_del(),
which calls release_resource(), that crashes when the resource has not
been added with with insert_resource. This was not an issue when the
device tree could not be modified online, but this is not the case
anymore.

This patch let the flow continue when there is an insert error, after
notifying the user with a dev_err(). r->parent is set to NULL, so
platform_device_del() knows that the resource was not added, and
therefore it should not be released.

[PATCH v5 3/4] of/platform: Use platform_device interface

[Ricardo Ribalda Delgado]

of_platform_device_create_pdata() was using of_device_add() to create
the devices, but of_platform_device_destroy was using
platform_device_unregister() to free them.

of_device_add(), do not call insert_resource(), which initializes the
parent field of the resource structure, needed by release_resource(),
called by of_platform_device_destroy(). This leads to a NULL pointer
deference.

Instead of fixing the NULL pointer deference, what could hide other bugs,
this patch, replaces of_device_add() with platform_device_data().

I'm pretty sure this is going to break some platforms. I described it in
my earlier email today, but I'll summarize here too since this is the
latest patch set.

Making this change allows the registration of devices to continue, but
it will still break device drivers that do a request_resource() on a
region that another device managed to claim with insert_resource(). The
only way around this is to not do insert_resource() at all, or to remove
the request_resource() from all drivers (not feasible).

I think we have to deal with it by making resource insertion optional.
I'd like to make the default be to do the insertion, and be able to
blacklist platforms that have issues.

The version that is in stable is also broken. Unloading the device
tree crashes the device completely.

If we do not do insert_resource(), we will have the crash on
release_resource() and a lot! of code duplication.

What about, making the request_resource a little bit more clever.
Something like:

If the resouce is not taken
     return ok

if the resource is taken:
  If the requester or the current owner of the resource are device tree devices
               show a warning and continue.
  else
                return error


Wouldn't this fix the issue and guide the developers towards a proper
fix for their platform, instead of just encourage them to blacklist
their platform?


Thanks!

Do we have some clue as to which platforms have problems? I seem to
recall some i.MX platform.

Yes, otherwise we'll never put this issue to bed.
