[PATCH] platform/x86: toshiba_acpi: use brightness_set_blocking for LED callbacks
From: Runyu Xiao
Date: Thu Jun 18 2026 - 01:33:29 EST
The Toshiba illumination, eco mode, and keyboard backlight callbacks all
go through ACPI/HCI/SCI helpers that may sleep, but the driver still
registers them as brightness_set callbacks.
This issue was found by our static analysis tool and then manually
reviewed against the current tree.
A minimal Lockdep reproducer that keeps the original registration and
call chains is enough to trigger the warning in all three cases:
toshiba_illumination_set() -> sci_open()/sci_write() -> tci_raw()
toshiba_kbd_backlight_set() -> hci_write() -> tci_raw()
toshiba_eco_mode_set_status() -> tci_raw()
All three paths reach ACPI object evaluation while
led_trigger_event_atomic() is still holding spin_lock_irqsave(),
and Lockdep reports sleeping function called from invalid context with
acpi_os_wait_semaphore() on the stack.
Convert the three callbacks to brightness_set_blocking and return proper
status codes from the firmware transactions.

Fixes: 6c3f6e6c575a ("toshiba-acpi: Add support for Toshiba Illumination.")
Fixes: def6c4e25d31 ("toshiba_acpi: Add ECO mode led support")
