Use the USB-interface rather than parent USB-device device, which is what this driver binds to, when registering the nci device. Note that using the right device is important when dealing with device- managed resources as the interface can be unbound independently of the parent device. Also note that private device pointer had already been set by nfcmrvl_nci_register_dev() so the redundant assignment can therefore be removed.

The nci-device was never deregistered in the event that fw-initialisation failed. Fix this by moving the firmware initialisation before device registration since the firmware work queue should be available before registering. Note that this depends on a recent fix that moved device-name initialisation back to to nci_allocate_device() as the firmware-workqueue name is now derived from the nfc-device name.

Use the nfc- rather than phy-device in firmware-management code that needs a valid struct device. This specifically fixes a NULL-pointer dereference in nfcmrvl_fw_dnld_init() during registration when the underlying tty is one end of a Unix98 pty. Note that the driver still uses the phy device for any debugging, which is fine for now.

This specifically fixes resource leaks in the registration error paths. Device-managed resources is a bad fit for this driver as devices can be registered from the n_nci line discipline. Firstly, a tty may not even have a corresponding device (should it be part of a Unix98 pty) something which would lead to a NULL-pointer dereference when registering resources. Secondly, if the tty has a class device, its lifetime exceeds that of the line discipline, which means that resources would leak every time the line discipline is closed (or if registration fails). Currently, the devres interface was only being used to request a reset gpio despite the fact that it was already explicitly freed in nfcmrvl_nci_unregister_dev() (along with the private data), something which also prevented the resource leak at close. Note that the driver treats gpio number 0 as invalid despite it being perfectly valid. This will be addressed in a follow-up patch.

Commit 7eda8b8e ("NFC: Use IDR library to assing NFC devices IDs") moved device-id allocation and struct-device initialisation from nfc_allocate_device() to nfc_register_device(). This broke just about every nfc-device-registration error path, which continue to call nfc_free_device() that tries to put the device reference of the now uninitialised (but zeroed) struct device: kobject: '(null)' (ce316420): is not initialized, yet kobject_put() is being called. The late struct-device initialisation also meant that various work queues whose names are derived from the nfc device name were also misnamed: 421 root 0 SW< [(null)_nci_cmd_] 422 root 0 SW< [(null)_nci_rx_w] 423 root 0 SW< [(null)_nci_tx_w] Move the id-allocation and struct-device initialisation back to nfc_allocate_device() and fix up the single call site which did not use nfc_free_device() in its error path.

Wei Wang says: ==================== remove dst garbage collector logic The current mechanism of dst release is a bit complicated. It is because the users of dst get divided into 2 situations: 1. Most users take the reference count when using a dst and release the reference count when done. 2. Exceptional users like IPv4/IPv6/decnet/xfrm routing code do not take reference count when referencing to a dst due to some histotic reasons. Due to those exceptional use cases in 2, reference count being 0 is not an adequate evidence to indicate that no user is using this dst. So users in 1 can't free the dst simply based on reference count being 0 because users in 2 might still hold reference to it. Instead, a dst garbage list is needed to hold the dst entries that already get removed by the users in 2 but are still held by users in 1. And a periodic garbage collector task is run to check all the dst entries in the list to see if the users in 1 have released the reference to those dst entries. If so, the dst is now ready to be freed. This logic introduces unnecessary complications in the dst code which makes it hard to understand and to debug. In order to get rid of the whole dst garbage collector (gc) and make the dst code more unified and simplified, we can make the users in 2 also take reference count on the dst and release it properly when done. This way, dst can be safely freed once the refcount drops to 0 and no gc thread is needed anymore. This patch series' target is to completely get rid of dst gc logic and free dst based on reference count only. Patch 1-3 are preparation patches to do some cleanup/improvement on the existing code to make later work easier. Patch 4-21 are real implementations. In these patches, a temporary flag DST_NOGC is used to help transition those exceptional users one by one. Once every component is transitioned, this temporary flag is removed. By the end of this patch series, all dst are refcounted when being used and released when done. And dst will be freed when its refcount drops to 0. No dst gc task is running anymore. Note: This patch series depends on the decnet fix that was sent right before: "decnet: always not take dst->__refcnt when inserting dst into hash table" v2: add curly braces in udp_v4/6_early_demux() in patch 02 add EXPORT_SYMBOL() for dst_dev_put() in patch 05 ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

struct dn_route is inserted into dn_rt_hash_table but no dst->__refcnt is taken. This patch makes sure the dn_rt_hash_table's reference to the dst is ref counted. As the dst is always ref counted properly, we can safely mark DST_NOGC flag so dst_release() will release dst based on refcnt only. And dst gc is no longer needed and all dst_free() or its related function calls should be replaced with dst_release() or dst_release_immediate(). And dst_dev_put() is called when removing dst from the hash table to release the reference on dst->dev before we lose pointer to it. Also, correct the logic in dn_dst_check_expire() and dn_dst_gc() to check dst->__refcnt to be > 1 to indicate it is referenced by other users.

During the creation of xfrm_dst bundle, always take ref count when allocating the dst. This way, xfrm_bundle_create() will form a linked list of dst with dst->child pointing to a ref counted dst child. And the returned dst pointer is also ref counted. This makes the link from the flow cache to this dst now ref counted properly. As the dst is always ref counted properly, we can safely mark DST_NOGC flag so dst_release() will release dst based on refcnt only. And dst gc is no longer needed and all dst_free() and its related function calls should be replaced with dst_release() or dst_release_immediate(). The special handling logic for dst->child in dst_destroy() can be replaced with a simple dst_release_immediate() call on the child to release the whole list linked by dst->child pointer. Previously used DST_NOHASH flag is not needed anymore as well. The reason that DST_NOHASH is used in the existing code is mainly to prevent the dst inserted in the fib tree to be wrongly destroyed during the deletion of the xfrm_dst bundle. So in the existing code, DST_NOHASH flag is marked in all the dst children except the one which is in the fib tree. However, with this patch series to remove dst gc logic and release dst only based on ref count, it is safe to release all the children from a xfrm_dst bundle as long as the dst children are all ref counted properly which is already the case in the existing code. So, this patch removes the use of DST_NOHASH flag. Signed-off-by: Wei Wang <weiwan@google.com> Acked-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

With the previous preparation patches, we are ready to get rid of the dst gc operation in ipv6 code and release dst based on refcnt only. So this patch adds DST_NOGC flag for all IPv6 dst and remove the calls to dst_free() and its related functions. At this point, all dst created in ipv6 code do not use the dst gc anymore and will be destroyed at the point when refcnt drops to 0. Also, as icmp6 dst route is refcounted during creation and will be freed by user during its call of dst_release(), there is no need to add this dst to the icmp6 gc list as well. Instead, we need to add it into uncached list so that when a NETDEV_DOWN/NETDEV_UNREGISRER event comes, we can properly go through these icmp6 dst as well and release the net device properly.

In IPv6 routing code, struct rt6_info is created for each static route and RTF_CACHE route and inserted into fib6 tree. In both cases, dst ref count is not taken. As explained in the previous patch, this leads to the need of the dst garbage collector. This patch holds ref count of dst before inserting the route into fib6 tree and properly releases the dst when deleting it from the fib6 tree as a preparation in order to fully get rid of dst gc later. Also, correct fib6_age() logic to check dst->__refcnt to be 1 to indicate no user is referencing the dst. And remove dst_hold() in vrf_rt6_create() as ip6_dst_alloc() already puts dst->__refcnt to 1.

This patch checks all the calls to dst_hold()/skb_dst_force()/dst_clone()/dst_use() to see if dst_hold_safe() is needed to avoid double free issue if dst gc is removed and dst_release() directly destroys dst when dst->__refcnt drops to 0. In tx path, TCP hold sk->sk_rx_dst ref count and also hold sock_lock(). UDP and other similar protocols always hold refcount for skb->_skb_refdst. So both paths seem to be safe. In rx path, as it is lockless and skb_dst_set_noref() is likely to be used, dst_hold_safe() should always be used when trying to hold dst. In the routing code, if dst is held during an rcu protected session, it is necessary to call dst_hold_safe() as the current dst might be in its rcu grace period.

In IPv4 routing code, fib_nh and fib_nh_exception can hold pointers to struct rtable but they never increment dst->__refcnt. This leads to the need of the dst garbage collector because when user is done with this dst and calls dst_release(), it can only decrement dst->__refcnt and can not free the dst even it sees dst->__refcnt drops from 1 to 0 (unless DST_NOCACHE flag is set) because the routing code might still hold reference to it. And when the routing code tries to delete a route, it has to put the dst to the gc_list if dst->__refcnt is not yet 0 and have a gc thread running periodically to check on dst->__refcnt and finally to free dst when refcnt becomes 0. This patch increments dst->__refcnt when fib_nh/fib_nh_exception holds reference to this dst and properly release the dst when fib_nh/fib_nh_exception has been updated with a new dst. This patch is a preparation in order to fully get rid of dst gc later. Signed-off-by: Wei Wang <weiwan@google.com> Acked-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This function should be called when removing routes from fib tree after the dst gc is no longer in use. We first mark DST_OBSOLETE_DEAD on this dst to make sure next dst_ops->check() fails and returns NULL. Secondly, as we no longer keep the gc_list, we need to properly release dst->dev right at the moment when the dst is removed from the fib/fib6 tree. It does the following: 1. change dst->input and output pointers to dst_discard/dst_dscard_out to discard all packets 2. replace dst->dev with loopback interface Signed-off-by: Wei Wang <weiwan@google.com> Acked-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The current mechanism of freeing dst is a bit complicated. dst has its ref count and when user grabs the reference to the dst, the ref count is properly taken in most cases except in IPv4/IPv6/decnet/xfrm routing code due to some historic reasons. If the reference to dst is always taken properly, we should be able to simplify the logic in dst_release() to destroy dst when dst->__refcnt drops from 1 to 0. And this should be the only condition to determine if we can call dst_destroy(). And as dst is always ref counted, there is no need for a dst garbage list to hold the dst entries that already get removed by the routing code but are still held by other users. And the task to periodically check the list to free dst if ref count become 0 is also not needed anymore. This patch introduces a temporary flag DST_NOGC(no garbage collector). If it is set in the dst, dst_release() will call dst_destroy() when dst->__refcnt drops to 0. dst_hold_safe() will also check for this flag and do atomic_inc_not_zero() similar as DST_NOCACHE to avoid double free issue. This temporary flag is mainly used so that we can make the transition component by component without breaking other parts. This flag will be removed after all components are properly transitioned. This patch also introduces a new function dst_release_immediate() which destroys dst without waiting on the rcu when refcnt drops to 0. It will be used in later patches. Follow-up patches will correct all the places to properly take ref count on dst and mark DST_NOGC. dst_release() or dst_release_immediate() will be used to release the dst instead of dst_free() and its related functions. And final clean-up patch will remove the DST_NOGC flag. Signed-off-by: Wei Wang <weiwan@google.com> Acked-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

It is not necessary to hold reference to the passed in dst->dev because the packets going through this route are dropped anyway.
