[ Upstream commit 54baf56eaa40aa5cdcd02b3c20d593e4e1211220 ] Before commit fc0c209c147f ("clk: Allow parents to be specified without string names") child clks couldn't find their parent until the parent clk was added to a list in __clk_core_init(). After that commit, child clks can reference their parent clks directly via a clk_hw pointer, or they can lookup that clk_hw pointer via DT if the parent clk is registered with an OF clk provider. The common clk framework treats hw->core being non-NULL as "the clk is registered" per the logic within clk_core_fill_parent_index(): parent = entry->hw->core; /* * We have a direct reference but it isn't registered yet? * Orphan it and let clk_reparent() update the orphan status * when the parent is registered. */ if (!parent) Therefore we need to be extra careful to not set hw->core until the clk is fully registered with the clk framework. Otherwise we can get into a situation where a child finds a parent clk and we move the child clk off the orphan list when the parent isn't actually registered, wrecking our enable accounting and breaking critical clks. Consider the following scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- struct clk_hw clkBad; struct clk_hw clkA; clkA.init.parent_hws = { &clkBad }; clk_hw_register(&clkA) clk_hw_register(&clkBad) ... __clk_register() hw->core = core ... __clk_register() __clk_core_init() clk_prepare_lock() __clk_init_parent() clk_core_get_parent_by_index() clk_core_fill_parent_index() if (entry->hw) { parent = entry->hw->core; At this point, 'parent' points to clkBad even though clkBad hasn't been fully registered yet. Ouch! A similar problem can happen if a clk controller registers orphan clks that are referenced in the DT node of another clk controller. Let's fix all this by only setting the hw->core pointer underneath the clk prepare lock in __clk_core_init(). This way we know that clk_core_fill_parent_index() can't see hw->core be non-NULL until the clk is fully registered.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
