Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] Fix i2c mux module refcount issues

Hi,

Some i2c mux drivers wrongly use the pair of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node()
/ i2c_put_adapter() to lock the parent adapter.

Indeed, i2c_put_adapter() decrements the module refcount while
of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() does not increment it. This leads to an
overflow over zero of the parent adapter user counter.

Identified mux drivers impacted are:
- i2c-mux-gpmux
- i2c-demux-pinctrl
- i2c-mux-pinctrl

Commit 48e9743dd648 ("i2c: core: add and export of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node()
interface") introduces of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node() to correctly handle
this refcount issue.

This series fixes the 3 identified mux drivers replacing the
of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() call by an of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node()
call.

Compare to the previous iteration

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] i2c: muxes: i2c-mux-pinctrl: Use of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node()

i2c-mux-pinctrl uses the pair of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() /
i2c_put_adapter(). These pair alone is not correct to properly lock the
I2C parent adapter.

Indeed, i2c_put_adapter() decrements the module refcount while
of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() does not increment it. This leads to an
underflow of the parent module refcount.

Use the dedicated function, of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node(), to handle
correctly the module refcount.

Hi,

This is the friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman. You have sent him
a patch that has triggered this response. He used to manually respond
to these common problems, but in order to save his sanity (he kept
writing the same thing over and over, yet to different people), I was
created. Hopefully you will not take offence and will fix the problem
in your patch and resubmit it so that it can be accepted into the Linux
kernel tree.

You are receiving this message because of the following common error(s)
as indicated below:

- You have marked a patch with a "Fixes:" tag for a commit that is in an
older released kernel, yet you do not have a cc: stable line in the
signed-off-by area at all, which means that the patch will not be
applied to any older kernel releases. To properly fix this, please
follow the documented rules in the
Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst file for how to resolve
this.

If you wish to discuss this problem further, or you have questions about
how to resolve this issue, please feel free to respond to this email and
Greg will reply once he has dug out from the pending patches received
from other developers.

thanks,
