Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 19/22] gpio: pxa: Make irq_chip immutable
Date: Sun,  1 Jun 2025 19:45:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250601234515.3519309-19-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250601234515.3519309-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Peng Fan <peng.fan@nxp.com>

[ Upstream commit 20117cf426b677e7aced4e7a1b2b37f6080a46dc ]

Kernel warns about mutable irq_chips:
"not an immutable chip, please consider fixing!"

Constify pxa_muxed_gpio_chip, flag the irq_chip as IRQCHIP_IMMUTABLE,
add the new helper functions, and call the appropriate gpiolib functions.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's
my extensive analysis: ## Backport Analysis: gpio: pxa: Make irq_chip
immutable ### Code Changes Analysis The commit makes three key changes
to `drivers/gpio/gpio-pxa.c`: 1. **Makes irq_chip structure const**:
Changes `static struct irq_chip pxa_muxed_gpio_chip` to `static const
struct irq_chip pxa_muxed_gpio_chip` 2. **Adds IRQCHIP_IMMUTABLE flag**:
Includes `.flags = IRQCHIP_IMMUTABLE` in the irq_chip structure 3.
**Adds resource helper macros**: Includes
`GPIOCHIP_IRQ_RESOURCE_HELPERS` macro 4. **Updates mask/unmask
functions**: Adds proper `gpiochip_disable_irq()` and
`gpiochip_enable_irq()` calls in the mask and unmask functions
respectively ### Why This Should Be Backported **1. Follows Established
Pattern** This commit follows the exact same pattern as the reference
commits marked "YES" for backporting: - Similar to gpio-vf610 (commit
e6ef4f8ede09) which was backported - Identical to gpio-104-idio-16
(commit 410a5041aa60) which was backported - Same transformation pattern
as dozens of other GPIO drivers **2. Fixes Kernel Warning** The commit
explicitly addresses a kernel warning: "not an immutable chip, please
consider fixing!" This is the same warning addressed in all the
reference "YES" commits. **3. Small, Contained Changes** - Only modifies
one file (`drivers/gpio/gpio-pxa.c`) - Changes are minimal and
mechanical - No architectural changes or new features - Low risk of
introducing regressions **4. Important Bug Fix for Users** - Eliminates
annoying kernel warnings that users encounter - Brings driver in
compliance with modern kernel IRQ subsystem requirements - Improves
system reliability by preventing dynamic modification of irq_chip
callbacks **5. No Side Effects** - The changes are purely structural
improvements - Maintains identical functionality - Does not change the
driver's external behavior - Only makes the irq_chip structure immutable
for safety **6. Critical Subsystem Compliance** - GPIO subsystem
actively enforces immutable irq_chips - This is part of a kernel-wide
migration to improve memory safety - Prevents potential security issues
from dynamic irq_chip modification **7. Hardware Support Impact** The
PXA GPIO driver supports widely-used ARM processors: - Intel PXA25x,
PXA26x, PXA27x, PXA3xx series - Marvell PXA93x, MMP, MMP2, PXA1928
series - These are found in many embedded systems and IoT devices ###
Comparison with Current Tree The analysis shows that in the current
kernel tree (`/home/sasha/linux/`), the gpio-pxa.c driver still has the
old mutable irq_chip structure (line 523: `static struct irq_chip
pxa_muxed_gpio_chip`), while the target directory shows it has already
been converted. This confirms this is a legitimate conversion commit
that needs backporting. ### Risk Assessment **Very Low Risk:** -
Mechanical transformation following established pattern - No functional
changes to GPIO operations - Extensive precedent from similar successful
backports - Changes are compile-time enforced (const keyword) This
commit represents a straightforward compliance fix that eliminates user-
visible warnings while improving code safety, making it an ideal
candidate for stable tree backporting.
