Subject: [PATCH] LoongArch: Avoid in-place string operation on FDT content
Date: Sat, 5 Jul 2025 12:57:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250705125710.59994-1-ziyao@disroot.org> (raw)
In init_cpu_fullname, a constant pointer to model property is retrieved.
It's later modified by the strsep function, which is illegal and
corrupts kernel's FDT copy. This is shown by dmesg,
OF: fdt: not creating '/sys/firmware/fdt': CRC check failed
Create a mutable copy of the model property and do in-place operations
on it instead. loongson_sysconf.cpuname lives across the kernel
lifetime, thus manually releasing isn't necessary.
Also move of_node_put() for the root node after the usage of its
property, since of_node_put() decreases the reference counter thus usage
after the call is unsafe.
Fixes: 44a01f1f726a ("LoongArch: Parsing CPU-related information from DTS")
