commit 0462c56c290a99a7f03e817ae5b843116dfb575c upstream.

The commit 80dd33cf72d1 ("drivers: base: Fix device link removal")
introduces a workqueue to release the consumer and supplier devices used
in the devlink.
In the job queued, devices are release and in turn, when all the
references to these devices are dropped, the release function of the
device itself is called.

Nothing is present to provide some synchronisation with this workqueue
in order to ensure that all ongoing releasing operations are done and
so, some other operations can be started safely.

For instance, in the following sequence:
  1) of_platform_depopulate()
  2) of_overlay_remove()

During the step 1, devices are released and related devlinks are removed
(jobs pushed in the workqueue).
During the step 2, OF nodes are destroyed but, without any
synchronisation with devlink removal jobs, of_overlay_remove() can raise
warnings related to missing of_node_put():
  ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 2

Indeed, the missing of_node_put() call is going to be done, too late,
from the workqueue job execution.

Introduce device_link_wait_removal() to offer a way to synchronize
operations waiting for the end of devlink removals (i.e. end of
workqueue jobs).
Also, as a flushing operation is done on the workqueue, the workqueue
used is moved from a system-wide workqueue to a local one.

Use __attribute__((__cleanup__(func))) to build:

 - simple auto-release pointers using __free()

 - 'classes' with constructor and destructor semantics for
   scope-based resource management.

 - lock guards based on the above classes.

<title>driver core: fw_devlink: Add DL_FLAG_CYCLE support to device links</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 67cad5c67019c38126b749621665b6723d3ae7e6 ]

fw_devlink uses DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link flag for two
purposes:

1. To allow a parent device to proxy its child device's dependency on a
   supplier so that the supplier doesn't get its sync_state() callback
   before the child device/consumer can be added and probed. In this
   usage scenario, we need to ignore cycles for ensure correctness of
   sync_state() callbacks.

2. When there are dependency cycles in firmware, we don't know which of
   those dependencies are valid. So, we have to ignore them all wrt
   probe ordering while still making sure the sync_state() callbacks
   come correctly.

However, when detecting dependency cycles, there can be multiple
dependency cycles between two devices that we need to detect. For
example:

A -&gt; B -&gt; A and A -&gt; C -&gt; B -&gt; A.

To detect multiple cycles correct, we need to be able to differentiate
DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY device links used for (1) vs (2) above.

To allow this differentiation, add a DL_FLAG_CYCLE that can be use to
mark use case (2). We can then use the DL_FLAG_CYCLE to decide which
DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY device links to follow when looking for
dependency cycles.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of driver core changes for 5.19-rc1.

  Lots of tiny driver core changes and cleanups happened this cycle, but
  the two major things are:

   - firmware_loader reorganization and additions including the ability
     to have XZ compressed firmware images and the ability for userspace
     to initiate the firmware load when it needs to, instead of being
     always initiated by the kernel. FPGA devices specifically want this
     ability to have their firmware changed over the lifetime of the
     system boot, and this allows them to work without having to come up
     with yet-another-custom-uapi interface for loading firmware for
     them.

   - physical location support added to sysfs so that devices that know
     this information, can tell userspace where they are located in a
     common way. Some ACPI devices already support this today, and more
     bus types should support this in the future.

  Smaller changes include:

   - driver_override api cleanups and fixes

   - error path cleanups and fixes

   - get_abi script fixes

   - deferred probe timeout changes.

  It's that last change that I'm the most worried about. It has been
  reported to cause boot problems for a number of systems, and I have a
  tested patch series that resolves this issue. But I didn't get it
  merged into my tree before 5.18-final came out, so it has not gotten
  any linux-next testing.

  I'll send the fixup patches (there are 2) as a follow-on series to this
  pull request.

  All have been tested in linux-next for weeks, with no reported issues
  other than the above-mentioned boot time-outs"

Per Peter [1], the lockdep API has native support for all the use cases
lockdep_mutex was attempting to enable. Now that all lockdep_mutex users
have been converted to those APIs, drop this lock.

<title>cxl/acpi: Add root device lockdep validation</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d864b8ea6468cf1dce614a58eec92a23d8e07fec</id>
<content type='text'>
The CXL "root" device, ACPI0017, is an attach point for coordinating
platform level CXL resources and is the parent device for a CXL port
topology tree. As such it has distinct locking rules relative to other
CXL subsystem objects, but because it is an ACPI device the lock class
is established well before it is given to the cxl_acpi driver.

However, the lockdep API does support changing the lock class "live" for
situations like this. Add a device_lock_set_class() helper that a driver
can use in -&gt;probe() to set a custom lock class, and
device_lock_reset_class() to return to the default "no validate" class
before the custom lock class key goes out of scope after -&gt;remove().

Note the helpers are all macros to support dead code elimination in the
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=n case, however device_set_lock_class() still needs
#ifdef CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING since lockdep_match_class() explicitly does
not have a helper in the CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=n case (see comment in
lockdep.h). The lockdep API needs 2 small tweaks to prevent "unused"
warnings for the @key argument to lock_set_class(), and a new
lock_set_novalidate_class() is added to supplement
lockdep_set_novalidate_class() in the cases where the lock class is
converted while the lock is held.

<content type='text'>
When ACPI table includes _PLD fields for a device, create a new
directory (physical_location) in sysfs to share _PLD fields.

Currently without PLD information, when there are multiple of same
devices, it is hard to distinguish which device corresponds to which
physical device at which location. For example, when there are two Type
C connectors, it is hard to find out which connector corresponds to the
Type C port on the left panel versus the Type C port on the right panel.
With PLD information provided, we can determine which specific device at
which location is doing what.

_PLD output includes much more fields, but only generic fields are added
and exposed to sysfs, so that non-ACPI devices can also support it in
the future. The minimal generic fields needed for locating a device are
the following.
- panel
- vertical_position
- horizontal_position
- dock
- lid

Create struct msi_device_data and add a pointer of that type to struct
dev_msi_info, which is part of struct device. Provide an allocator function
which can be invoked from the MSI interrupt allocation code pathes.

Add a properties field to the data structure as a first member so the
allocation size is not zero bytes. The field will be uses later on.
