[PATCH v3 0/3] mfd: tps65217: Handle IRQ initialization errors

[Жамбакиев Радий Рикардинович]

From: Radiy Zhambakiev <r.zhambakiev@prosoftsystems.ru>

The TPS65217 MFD driver does not validate the outcome of IRQ
initialisation: tps65217_probe() ignores the return value of
tps65217_irq_init(), so a failed irq_domain creation leaves the
driver bound with a NULL tps->irq_domain and the remove callback
oopses, and a failed write of the interrupt mask leaves the software
mask out of sync with the hardware.

On top of that the irq_domain is torn down in the wrong order: the
remove callback disposes the mappings and removes the domain before
the MFD children are unbound, so children that requested interrupts
(e.g. tps65217-charger) release virtual IRQs whose descriptors are
already disposed, and on probe failure the domain is leaked with its
host_data pointing to freed memory. The enable_irq_wake() in probe
is never balanced.

This series plugs the probe error paths and moves the domain and
wake-up teardown into devres, registered right after the domain is
created. Devres actions are released in reverse order of
registration, so on both removal and probe failure the MFD children
release their IRQs first, then the parent interrupt is freed and its
thread stopped, and only then is the domain removed.

Changes since v2:
 - Replace "Fix irq_domain leak and use-after-free on probe failure"
   with "Use devres for IRQ domain and wake teardown". The domain
   teardown is a devres action registered before the parent
   interrupt, so it is released after devm_request_threaded_irq()
   has freed the interrupt and stopped the threaded handler. This
   closes the window flagged in review, in which a late interrupt
   could run the handler against a removed or NULL irq_domain, and
   makes the manual disable_irq()/synchronize_irq() on the error
   path unnecessary.
 - Drop "Fix NULL pointer dereference in remove callback", now
   obsolete: the remove callback is gone.
 - Added "From" to the body of the patches to avoid checkpatch.pl
   email name mismatch error.

[PATCH v3 1/3] mfd: tps65217: Fix NULL pointer dereference on IRQ init failure

[Жамбакиев Радий Рикардинович]

From: Radiy Zhambakiev <r.zhambakiev@prosoftsystems.ru>

tps65217_probe() ignores the return value of tps65217_irq_init(), so
when the irq domain creation fails the probe still completes and the
driver ends up bound with a NULL tps->irq_domain. Unloading the
module then makes tps65217_remove() call irq_domain_remove() on the
NULL pointer and oops the kernel. On top of that, irq_find_mapping()
may fall back to the default irq domain and dispose of mappings that
belong to other interrupt controllers.

Check the return value and abort the probe on failure so the error
is reported and no inconsistent state is left for removal.

[PATCH v3 2/3] mfd: tps65217: Check return value when masking interrupt sources

[Жамбакиев Радий Рикардинович]

From: Radiy Zhambakiev <r.zhambakiev@prosoftsystems.ru>

tps65217_irq_init() ignores the error returned by
tps65217_set_bits() when masking all interrupt sources. A failed
register write leaves the driver's software mask out of sync with the
hardware and may result in spurious interrupts.

Check the return value and propagate the error to the caller.

Nit: Why wrap here?  The line below is clearly longer than this one.

[PATCH v3 3/3] mfd: tps65217: Use devres for IRQ domain and wake teardown

[Жамбакиев Радий Рикардинович]

From: Radiy Zhambakiev <r.zhambakiev@prosoftsystems.ru>

Removing the parent device used to tear the IRQ domain down in
tps65217_remove() before the MFD children are unbound: the i2c core
only releases the parent's devres after the remove callback returns,
whereas devm_mfd_add_devices() registered its own devres action which
unbinds the children. Children that requested interrupts from the
domain (e.g. tps65217-charger) therefore call free_irq() on virtual
IRQs whose descriptors have already been disposed. With
CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ free_irq() then returns early without stopping the
threaded handler, leaking the irqaction, the IRQ kthread and a module
reference.

Register the domain teardown as a devres action right after the domain
is created instead. Devres actions are released in reverse order of
registration, so the MFD children release their IRQs first, then the
parent interrupt is freed and its thread stopped, and only then is the
domain torn down. The same ordering covers probe failure, which no
longer needs manual cleanup, and the remove callback can be dropped
entirely.

Balance the enable_irq_wake() in tps65217_irq_init() by registering
disable_irq_wake() as a devres action as well. Only do so when
enabling actually succeeded, since the parent chip may not support
setting wake-up.
