Commit Message

Bjorn Andersson Nov. 5, 2020, 4:50 a.m. UTC
The reliance on the remoteproc's state for determining when to send
sysmon notifications to a remote processor is racy with regard to
concurrent remoteproc operations.

Further more the advertisement of the state of other remote processor to
a newly started remote processor might not only send the wrong state,
but might result in a stream of state changes that are out of order.

Address this by introducing state tracking within the sysmon instances
themselves and extend the locking to ensure that the notifications are
consistent with this state.

Fixes: 1f36ab3f6e3b ("remoteproc: sysmon: Inform current rproc about all active rprocs")
Fixes: 1877f54f75ad ("remoteproc: sysmon: Add notifications for events")
Fixes: 1fb82ee806d1 ("remoteproc: qcom: Introduce sysmon")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

Changes since v1:
- Reduced the locking to be per sysmon instance
- Dropped unused local "rproc" variable in sysmon_notify()

Yes, that seems like a very good idea. I will review and update.

It depends on what the remote's requirements, I tested this and didn't
see any problems sending both SSCTL_SSR_EVENT_AFTER_POWERUP and
SSCTL_SSR_EVENT_AFTER_SHUTDOWN at least...
I don't know if I managed to hit a case where I sent any of the
intermediate states.

If you could provide some more input here I would appreciate it -
although I would be happy to merge the patch after fixing above locking
issue and then we can limit the events sent once we have a more detailed
answer, if that helps.

Regards,
Bjorn
