Subject: [PATCH] iommu/arm-smmu-qcom: do not register driver in probe()
Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2026 15:12:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260121141215.29658-1-dakr@kernel.org> (raw)
Commit 0b4eeee2876f ("iommu/arm-smmu-qcom: Register the TBU driver in
qcom_smmu_impl_init") intended to also probe the TBU driver when
CONFIG_ARM_SMMU_QCOM_DEBUG is disabled, but also moved the corresponding
platform_driver_register() call into qcom_smmu_impl_init() which is
called from arm_smmu_device_probe().
However, it neither makes sense to register drivers from probe()
callbacks of other drivers, nor does the driver core allow registering
drivers with a device lock already being held.
The latter was revealed by commit dc23806a7c47 ("driver core: enforce
device_lock for driver_match_device()") leading to a deadlock condition
described in [1].
Additionally, it was noted by Robin that the current approach is
potentially racy with async probe [2].
Hence, fix this by registering the qcom_smmu_tbu_driver from
module_init(). Unfortunately, due to the vendoring of the driver, this
requires an indirection through arm-smmu-impl.c.
