Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y] device property: Make modifications of fwnode "flags" thread safe
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 12:26:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427192646.3452125-1-dianders@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026042715-tipper-erupt-7a49@gregkh>
In various places in the kernel, we modify the fwnode "flags" member
by doing either:
fwnode->flags |= SOME_FLAG;
fwnode->flags &= ~SOME_FLAG;
This type of modification is not thread-safe. If two threads are both
mucking with the flags at the same time then one can clobber the
other.
While flags are often modified while under the "fwnode_link_lock",
this is not universally true.
Create some accessor functions for setting, clearing, and testing the
FWNODE flags and move all users to these accessor functions. New
accessor functions use set_bit() and clear_bit(), which are
thread-safe.
