[PATCH 4.14 35/62] can: hi311x: Acquire SPI lock on ->do_get_berr_counter

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Lukas Wunner <lukas@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 5cec9425b41dcf834c3d48776900d6acb7e96f38 upstream.

hi3110_get_berr_counter() may run concurrently to the rest of the driver
but neglects to acquire the lock protecting access to the SPI device.
As a result, it and the rest of the driver may clobber each other's tx
and rx buffers.

We became aware of this issue because transmission of packets with
"cangen -g 0 -i -x" frequently hung.  It turns out that agetty executes
->do_get_berr_counter every few seconds via the following call stack:

    CPU: 2 PID: 1605 Comm: agetty
    [<7f3f7500>] (hi3110_get_berr_counter [hi311x])
    [<7f130204>] (can_fill_info [can_dev])
    [<80693bc0>] (rtnl_fill_ifinfo)
    [<806949ec>] (rtnl_dump_ifinfo)
    [<806b4834>] (netlink_dump)
    [<806b4bc8>] (netlink_recvmsg)
    [<8065f180>] (sock_recvmsg)
    [<80660f90>] (___sys_recvmsg)
    [<80661e7c>] (__sys_recvmsg)
    [<80661ec0>] (SyS_recvmsg)
    [<80108b20>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x1c)

agetty listens to netlink messages in order to update the login prompt
when IP addresses change (if /etc/issue contains \4 or \6 escape codes):

It's a useful feature, though it seems questionable that it causes CAN
bit error statistics to be queried.

Be that as it may, if hi3110_get_berr_counter() is invoked while a frame
is sent by hi3110_hw_tx(), bogus SPI transfers like the following may
occur:

    => 12 00             (hi3110_get_berr_counter() wanted to transmit
                          EC 00 to query the transmit error counter,
                          but the first byte was overwritten by
                          hi3110_hw_tx_frame())

    => EA 00 3E 80 01 FB (hi3110_hw_tx_frame() wanted to transmit a
                          frame, but the first byte was overwritten by
                          hi3110_get_berr_counter() because it wanted
                          to query the receive error counter)

This sequence hangs the transmission because the driver believes it has
sent a frame and waits for the interrupt signaling completion, but in
reality the chip has never sent away the frame since the commands it
received were malformed.

Fix by acquiring the SPI lock in hi3110_get_berr_counter().

I've scrutinized the entire driver for further unlocked SPI accesses but
found no others.
