    pcmcia: fix socket refcount decrementing on each resume · 93636af6
    Russell King authored
    commit 025e4ab3 upstream.
    
    This fixes a memory-corrupting bug: not only does it cause the warning,
    but as a result of dropping the refcount to zero, it causes the
    pcmcia_socket0 device structure to be freed while it still has
    references, causing slab caches corruption.  A fatal oops quickly
    follows this warning - often even just a 'dmesg' following the warning
    causes the kernel to oops.
    
    While testing suspend/resume on an ARM device with PCMCIA support, and a
    CF card inserted, I found that after five suspend and resumes, the
    kernel would complain, and shortly die after with slab corruption.
    
      WARNING: at include/linux/kref.h:41 kobject_get+0x28/0x50()
    
    As the message doesn't give a clue about which kobject, and the built-in
    debugging in drivers/base/power/main.c happens too late, this was added
    right before each get_device():
    
      printk("%s: %p [%s] %u\n", __func__, dev, kobject_name(&dev->kobj), atomic_read(&dev->kobj.kref.refcount));
    
    and on the 3rd s2ram cycle, the following behaviour observed:

    Looking at commit 7b24e798 ("pcmcia: split up central event handler"),
    the following change was made to cs.c:
    
                    return 0;
            }
     #endif
    -
    -       send_event(skt, CS_EVENT_PM_RESUME, CS_EVENT_PRI_LOW);
    +       if (!(skt->state & SOCKET_CARDBUS) && (skt->callback))
    +               skt->callback->early_resume(skt);
            return 0;
     }
    
    And the corresponding change in ds.c is from:
    
    -static int ds_event(struct pcmcia_socket *skt, event_t event, int priority)
    -{
    -       struct pcmcia_socket *s = pcmcia_get_socket(skt);
    ...
    -       switch (event) {
    ...
    -       case CS_EVENT_PM_RESUME:
    -               if (verify_cis_cache(skt) != 0) {
    -                       dev_dbg(&skt->dev, "cis mismatch - different card\n");
    -                       /* first, remove the card */
    -                       ds_event(skt, CS_EVENT_CARD_REMOVAL, CS_EVENT_PRI_HIGH);
    -                       mutex_lock(&s->ops_mutex);
    -                       destroy_cis_cache(skt);
    -                       kfree(skt->fake_cis);
    -                       skt->fake_cis = NULL;
    -                       s->functions = 0;
    -                       mutex_unlock(&s->ops_mutex);
    -                       /* now, add the new card */
    -                       ds_event(skt, CS_EVENT_CARD_INSERTION,
    -                                CS_EVENT_PRI_LOW);
    -               }
    -               break;
    ...
    -    }
    
    -    pcmcia_put_socket(s);
    
    -    return 0;
    -} /* ds_event */
    
    to:
    
    +static int pcmcia_bus_early_resume(struct pcmcia_socket *skt)
    +{
    +       if (!verify_cis_cache(skt)) {
    +               pcmcia_put_socket(skt);
    +               return 0;
    +       }
    
    +       dev_dbg(&skt->dev, "cis mismatch - different card\n");
    
    +       /* first, remove the card */
    +       pcmcia_bus_remove(skt);
    +       mutex_lock(&skt->ops_mutex);
    +       destroy_cis_cache(skt);
    +       kfree(skt->fake_cis);
    +       skt->fake_cis = NULL;
    +       skt->functions = 0;
    +       mutex_unlock(&skt->ops_mutex);
    
    +       /* now, add the new card */
    +       pcmcia_bus_add(skt);
    +       return 0;
    +}
    
    As can be seen, the original function called pcmcia_get_socket() and
    pcmcia_put_socket() around the guts, whereas the replacement code
    calls pcmcia_put_socket() only in one path.  This creates an imbalance
    in the refcounting.
    
    Testing with pcmcia_put_socket() put removed shows that the bug is gone:
