Subject: [PATCH] iommu: Fix bypass of IOMMU readiness check for multi-IOMMU devices
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 13:09:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323-iommu-ready-check-v1-1-5f6fef8f9f59@linaro.org> (raw)
Commit da33e87bd2bf ("iommu: Handle yet another race around
registration") introduced a readiness check in `iommu_fwspec_init()` to
prevent client drivers from configuring their IOMMUs before
`bus_iommu_probe()` has completed.
To optimize the replay path, the readiness check was conditionally
gated behind `!dev->iommu`:
if (!dev->iommu && !READ_ONCE(iommu->ready))
return -EPROBE_DEFER;
However, this assumption breaks down for devices that map to multiple
IOMMU instances. During the initialization loop over multiple IOMMUs in
`of_iommu_configure_device()`, the first IOMMU successfully allocates
`dev->iommu`. When `iommu_fwspec_init()` is called for the second
IOMMU, `!dev->iommu` evaluates to false, short-circuiting the logic and
entirely bypassing the `iommu->ready` check.
If the second IOMMU is still executing its `bus_iommu_probe()`
concurrently, this allows the client driver to proceed prematurely,
resulting in a late IOMMU probe warning:
dev: late IOMMU probe at driver bind, something fishy here!
WARNING: drivers/iommu/iommu.c:645 at __iommu_probe_device
Fix this by making the `iommu->ready` check unconditional, ensuring
that a device will defer its probe until *all* of its required IOMMUs
are fully registered and ready.
