[PATCH 1/1] driver core: Fix unbalance probe_count in really_probe()

From: Ji-Ze Hong (Peter Hong)
Date: Wed Jun 03 2020 - 02:45:23 EST


In previous patch, using return -EBUSY in really_probe() instead WARN_ON()
only. The following is the partial code.

...
atomic_inc(&probe_count);
pr_debug("bus: '%s': %s: probing driver %s with device %s\n",
drv->bus->name, __func__, drv->name, dev_name(dev));
if (!list_empty(&dev->devres_head)) {
dev_crit(dev, "Resources present before probing\n");
return -EBUSY;
}
...

When the devres_head is not empty, this code will return -EBUSY to prevent
resource conflict, but it forgot to balance probe_count. We can move the
increasement code below the resource checking.

...
pr_debug("bus: '%s': %s: probing driver %s with device %s\n",
drv->bus->name, __func__, drv->name, dev_name(dev));
if (!list_empty(&dev->devres_head)) {
dev_crit(dev, "Resources present before probing\n");
return -EBUSY;
}
atomic_inc(&probe_count);
...

The original code will cause lots motherboard freeze in reboot/shutdown
with systemd message "Reached target Reboot" or "Reached target Shutdown"
with serial8250 platform driver. e.g. AOPEN DE6200. The conflict boot
dmesg below:

Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 32 ports, IRQ sharing enabled
00:03: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4, base_baud = 921600) is a 16550A
00:04: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3, base_baud = 921600) is a 16550A
00:05: ttyS2 at I/O 0x3e8 (irq = 5, base_baud = 921600) is a 16550A
serial8250: ttyS3 at I/O 0x2e8 (irq = 3, base_baud = 921600) is a 16550A

Reboot/Shutdown will freeze in wait_for_device_probe(), message as
following:
INFQ: task systemd-shutdown: 1 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
Not tainted 5.7.0-rc7-tty-next+ #241
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
