In the process, fix the bug introduced # by cdfee5623290 ("driver core: initialize a default DMA mask for # platform device") that caused Artem Tashkinov's laptop to not boot with # newer Fedora kernels. # # This does: # # - First off, rename the field to "platform_dma_mask" to make it # greppable. # # We have way too many different random fields called "dma_mask" in # various data structures, where some of them are actual masks, and # some of them are just pointers to the mask. And the structures all # have pointers to each other, or embed each other inside themselves, # and "pdev" sometimes means "platform device" and sometimes it means # "PCI device". # # So to make it clear in the code when you actually use this new field, # give it a unique name (it really should be something even more unique # like "platform_device_dma_mask", since it's per platform device, not # per platform, but that gets old really fast, and this is unique # enough in context). # # To further clarify when the field gets used, initialize it when we # actually start using it with the default value. # # - Then, use this field instead of the random one-off allocation in # platform_device_register_full() that is now unnecessary since we now # already have a perfectly fine allocation for it in the platform # device structure. # # - The above then allows us to fix the actual bug, where the error path # of platform_device_register_full() would unconditionally free the # platform device DMA allocation with 'kfree()'. # # That kfree() was dont regardless of whether the allocation had been # done earlier with the (now removed) kmalloc, or whether # setup_pdev_dma_masks() had already been used and the dma_mask pointer # pointed to the mask that was part of the platform device. # # It seems most people never triggered the error path, or only triggered # it from a call chain that set an explicit pdevinfo->dma_mask value (and # thus caused the unnecessary allocation that was "cleaned up" in the # error path) before calling platform_device_register_full(). # # Robin Murphy points out that in Artem's case the wdat_wdt driver failed # in platform_device_add(), and that was the one that had called # platform_device_register_full() with pdevinfo.dma_mask = 0, and would # have caused that kfree() of pdev.dma_mask corrupting the heap. # # A later unrelated kmalloc() then oopsed due to the heap corruption. # # Fixes: cdfee5623290 ("driver core: initialize a default DMA mask for platform device") # Reported-bisected-and-tested-by: Artem S.
