Subject: [PATCH 2/4] remoteproc: core: Guard against a missing stop() in rproc_start()
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 15:54:51 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929075453.2324597-3-hyz3367@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260929075453.2324597-1-hyz3367@gmail.com>
When the subdevice registration fails after a successful ops->start(),
rproc_start() unrolls with an unconditional ops->stop() call: an
implementation without stop() turns that error path into a NULL
dereference, and there is no other way to undo a start once the
processor is up.
Nothing rules that implementation out. rproc_validate() checks the
callbacks against the state a processor registers in: start() for
an offline one, attach() for a detached one, which never look at
stop(); the only written rule, Documentation/staging/remoteproc.rst
("Every remoteproc implementation should at least provide the ->start
and ->stop handlers"), is a should the core does not enforce. The
in-tree implementations all provide both, or neither when they only
attach (commit 1168af40b1ad ("remoteproc: k3-r5: Add support for
IPC-only mode for all R5Fs")), so none of them can reach the call
today.
Skip the rollback call when there is no stop(): with nothing to roll
the start back with, the processor stays running and the failure is
reported by the boot attempt itself.
