Subject: [PATCH] regulator: core: Fix enable_count imbalance with EXCLUSIVE_GET
Date: Wed,  4 May 2022 21:31:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220505043152.12933-1-zev@bewilderbeest.net> (raw)

Since the introduction of regulator->enable_count, a driver that did
an exclusive get on an already-enabled regulator would end up with
enable_count initialized to 0 but rdev->use_count initialized to 1.
With that starting point the regulator is effectively stuck enabled,
because if the driver attempted to disable it it would fail the
enable_count underflow check in _regulator_handle_consumer_disable().

The EXCLUSIVE_GET path in _regulator_get() now initializes
enable_count along with rdev->use_count so that the regulator can be
disabled without underflowing the former.

Fixes: 5451781dadf85 ("regulator: core: Only count load for enabled consumers")

I tripped on this problem a bit in some recent experimentation with
the regulator API -- at first I figured I was misusing something, but
after looking a bit closer I *think* it's a bug (perhaps unnoticed
until now because EXCLUSIVE_GET doesn't seem to be very widely used),
but I'm not real knowledgeable about the regulator subsystem so
apologies if I've misdiagnosed.
