From 40cb5c050d6944b875d9fc69a79f40b77d057040 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emil Renner Berthing Date: Wed, 9 Nov 2022 12:37:24 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] pwm: sifive: Always let the first pwm_apply_state succeed [ Upstream commit 334c7b13d38321e47d1a51dba0bef9f4c403ec75 ] Commit 5b293b88191e5e921f3a4e58711350e80892d01a added support for the RGB and green PWM controlled LEDs on the HiFive Unmatched board managed by the leds-pwm-multicolor and leds-pwm drivers respectively. All three colours of the RGB LED and the green LED run from different lines of the same PWM, but with the same period so this works fine when the LED drivers are loaded one after the other. Unfortunately it does expose a race in the PWM driver when both LED drivers are loaded at roughly the same time. Here is an example: | Thread A | Thread B | | led_pwm_mc_probe | led_pwm_probe | | devm_fwnode_pwm_get | | | pwm_sifive_request | | | ddata->user_count++ | | | | devm_fwnode_pwm_get | | | pwm_sifive_request | | | ddata->user_count++ | | ... | ... | | pwm_state_apply | pwm_state_apply | | pwm_sifive_apply | pwm_sifive_apply | Now both calls to pwm_sifive_apply will see that ddata->approx_period, initially 0, is different from the requested period and the clock needs to be updated. But since ddata->user_count >= 2 both calls will fail with -EBUSY, which will then cause both LED drivers to fail to probe. Fix it by letting the first call to pwm_sifive_apply update the clock even when ddata->user_count != 1.
