regulator: core: fix a possible race in disable_work handling
A race condition between queueing and processing the disable_work instances results in having a work instance in the queue and the deferred_disables variable of regulator device structure having a value '0'. If no new regulator_disable_deferred() call later from clients, the deferred_disables variable value remains '0' and hits BUG() in regulator_disable_work() when the queued instance scheduled for processing the work. The race occurs as below: Core-0 Core-1 ..... /* deferred_disables = 2 */ ..... ..... /* disable_work is queued */ ..... ..... ..... regulator_disable_deferred: regulator_disable_work: mutex_lock(&rdev->mutex); ..... rdev->deferred_disables++; ..... mutex_unlock(&rdev->mutex); ..... queue_delayed_work(...) mutex_lock(&rdev->mutex); ..... count =rdev->deferred_disables; ..... rdev->deferred_disables = 0; ..... ..... ..... mutex_unlock(&rdev->mutex); ..... ..... ..... return; ..... ..... /* No new regulator_disable_deferred() calls from clients */ /* The newly queued instance is scheduled for processing */ ..... ..... regulator_disable_work: ..... mutex_lock(&rdev->mutex); BUG_ON(!rdev->deferred_disables); /* deferred_disables = 0 */ The race is fixed by removing the work instance that is queued while processing the previous queued instance. Cancel the newly queued instance from disable_work() handler just after reset the deferred_disables variable to value '0'. Also move the work queueing step before mutex_unlock in regulator_disable_deferred(). Also use mod_delayed_work() in the pace of queue_delayed_work() as queue_delayed_work() always uses the delay requested in the first call when multiple consumers call regulator_disable_deferred() close in time and does not guarantee the semantics of regulator_disable_deferred().
