You'd have to hit a # tiny time window, but it's possible. It's fairly easy to test by # making the time window bigger artificially. # # Fix it with a combination of 2 changes: # - when an AFU device is found in the IDR by looking for the device # minor number, we should hold a reference on the device until after # the context is allocated. A reference on the AFU structure is kept # when the context is allocated, so we can release the reference on # the device after the context allocation. # - with the fix above, there's still another even tinier window, # between the time the AFU device is found in the IDR and the # reference on the device is taken. We can fix this one by removing # the IDR entry earlier, when the device setup is removed, instead # of waiting for the 'release' device callback. With proper locking # around the IDR. # # Fixes: 75ca758adbaf ("ocxl: Create a clear delineation between ocxl backend & frontend") # Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v5.2+ # Signed-off-by: Frederic Barrat # Reviewed-by: Greg Kurz # Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190624144148.32022-1-fbarrat@linux.ibm.com # < /opt/cross/kisskb/br-microblaze-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/microblazeel-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/br-microblaze-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/microblazeel-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 a5b9b743fdb653c37d347b303fb60dff0c743f7e # < make -s -j 80 ARCH=microblaze O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_mmu_defconfig_microblaze CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-microblaze-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/microblazeel-linux- mmu_defconfig # make -s -j 80 ARCH=microblaze O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_mmu_defconfig_microblaze CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-microblaze-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/microblazeel-linux- Kernel: arch/microblaze/boot/linux.bin is ready (#1) Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_mmu_defconfig_microblaze # Build took: 0:00:52.829396
