Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.12 46/69] mmc: rtsx_usb_sdmmc: Fix error-path in sd_set_power_mode()
Date: Sun, 3 Aug 2025 20:30:56 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250804003119.3620476-46-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250804003119.3620476-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Ulf Hansson <ulf.hansson@linaro.org>
[ Upstream commit 47a255f7d2eabee06cfbf5b1c2379749442fd01d ]
In the error path of sd_set_power_mode() we don't update host->power_mode,
which could lead to an imbalance of the runtime PM usage count. Fix this by
always updating host->power_mode.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
**YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
extensive analysis:
## Bug Analysis
The commit fixes a **runtime PM reference counting bug** in the
`sd_set_power_mode()` function. The issue is in the error handling path:
### Original Code Problem:
```c
if (power_mode == MMC_POWER_OFF) {
err = sd_power_off(host);
pm_runtime_put_noidle(sdmmc_dev(host));
} else {
pm_runtime_get_noresume(sdmmc_dev(host));
err = sd_power_on(host);
}
if (!err)
host->power_mode = power_mode; // Only updated on success
```
### The Bug:
1. When transitioning to `MMC_POWER_OFF`, the code calls
`pm_runtime_put_noidle()` **regardless** of whether `sd_power_off()`
succeeded
2. When transitioning to `MMC_POWER_ON`, the code calls
`pm_runtime_get_noresume()` **before** calling `sd_power_on()`
3. However, `host->power_mode` is only updated if there's no error
This creates a **runtime PM reference count imbalance** because:
- If `sd_power_off()` fails, the runtime PM reference is still
decremented, but `host->power_mode` remains at its previous value
(likely `MMC_POWER_ON`)
- If `sd_power_on()` fails, the runtime PM reference is still
incremented, but `host->power_mode` remains at its previous value
(likely `MMC_POWER_OFF`)
- The early return check `if (power_mode == host->power_mode)` at the
beginning of the function will prevent future attempts to fix the
power state, leaving the runtime PM count permanently imbalanced
## Why This Is Suitable for Stable:
1. **Fixes a real bug**: Runtime PM reference count imbalances can lead
to:
- Device staying powered when it should be suspended
- Device being suspended when it should be active
- Power management failures
- Potential system hangs or crashes
2. **Minimal change**: The fix is a simple one-liner that always updates
`host->power_mode` regardless of error status
3. **Low regression risk**:
- The change doesn't introduce new functionality
- It doesn't alter the control flow
- It simply ensures state consistency
4. **Clear bug fix**: This is not a feature addition or optimization -
it's fixing incorrect error handling that violates runtime PM rules
5. **Affects users**: This bug can manifest in real-world scenarios when
SD card power operations fail, particularly with flaky hardware or
during system stress
6. **Subsystem contained**: The fix is limited to a single MMC host
driver and doesn't affect core kernel infrastructure
The commit follows stable kernel rules by being a minimal, targeted fix
for a real bug that can affect system stability and power management.
