Subject: [PATCH v4 0/5] iio: fix possible race condition during access of
available info lists
Some iio drivers currently share an available info list buffer that
might be changed while iio core prints it to sysfs. This could cause the
buffer shared with iio core to be corrupted. However, note that I was
able to trigger the race condition only by adding a delay between each
sysfs_emit_at calls in the iio_format_list() to force the concurrent
access to the shared available list buffer.
This patch set extends the iio APIs and fixes some affected drivers.
Summary:
- Patch 1: iio core: introduce a iio info release callback to let
drivers share a copy of their available info list and later free it.
- Patch 2:
- inkern: make consumers copy and release the available info lists
of their producers, necessary after patch 1.
- iio-mux, iio-rescale, dpot-dac, ingenic-battery: adapt consumers
to inkern API change by freeing the now copied available lists of
their producers.
- Patch 3: pac1921: handle the current scale available info via the
read_avail+read_avail_release_resource APIs instead of using an ad-hoc
ext_info attribute. The latter was used to avoid the risk of a race in
the available list.
- Patch 4,5: ad7192, as73211: fix the possible race in the drivers by
copying/releasing the affected available lists.
Tested:
- pac1921: could not reproduce the race condition with the new APIs,
even with additional delays among the sysfs_emit_at calls during a
shunt resistor write. No new issue found after the change.
- iio-mux, iio-rescale, dpot-dac: tested with pac1921 as producer, which
was adapted to produce a mock raw available info list.
The tests did not cover the driver features but focused on assessing
the function call sequence. For example the following traced function
graph shows a read of the dpot mocked out voltage (with ftrace
filters: pac1921* iio* dpot* kmemdup_array* kfree*):
3) | iio_read_channel_info_avail [industrialio]() {
3) | dpot_dac_read_avail [dpot_dac]() {
3) | iio_read_avail_channel_raw [industrialio]() {
3) | iio_channel_read_avail [industrialio]() {
3) | pac1921_read_avail [pac1921]() {
3) 5.208 us | kmemdup_array();
3) + 11.459 us | }
3) 3.167 us | kmemdup_array();
3) | pac1921_read_avail_release_res [pac1921]() {
3) 1.709 us | kfree();
3) 4.458 us | }
3) + 25.750 us | }
3) + 31.792 us | }
3) + 35.000 us | }
3) + 37.083 us | iio_format_list [industrialio]();
3) | dpot_dac_read_avail_release_res [dpot_dac]() {
3) 1.583 us | kfree();
3) 4.250 us | }
3) + 84.292 us | }
- ingenic-battery: also tested with mock available info produced by the
pac1921 driver. Following the traced graph part that should correspond
to the ingenic_battery_set_scale() flow (which is not traceable with
the additional ingenic* ftrace filter for some reason):
2) | ingenic_battery_probe [ingenic_battery]() {
...
2) | iio_read_max_channel_raw [industrialio]() {
2) | iio_channel_read_avail [industrialio]() {
2) | pac1921_read_avail [pac1921]() {
2) 4.333 us | kmemdup_array();
2) + 10.834 us | }
2) 3.500 us | kmemdup_array();
2) | pac1921_read_avail_release_res [pac1921]() {
2) 1.791 us | kfree();
2) 4.625 us | }
2) + 26.291 us | }
2) 1.583 us | kfree();
2) + 35.750 us | }
2) | iio_read_avail_channel_attribute [industrialio]() {
2) | iio_channel_read_avail [industrialio]() {
2) | pac1921_read_avail [pac1921]() {
2) 3.250 us | kmemdup_array();
2) 8.209 us | }
2) 3.458 us | kmemdup_array();
2) | pac1921_read_avail_release_res [pac1921]() {
2) 1.542 us | kfree();
2) 4.292 us | }
2) + 21.417 us | }
2) + 26.333 us | }
2) | iio_write_channel_attribute [industrialio]() {
2) 4.375 us | pac1921_write_raw [pac1921]();
2) 9.625 us | }
2) 1.666 us | kfree();
2) * 47810.08 us | }
