From 3a3d2b0551d79ef476ef57424beeb8f68789fbcd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sylwester Nawrocki Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2013 17:03:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] clkdev: Fix race condition in clock lookup from device tree There is currently a race condition in the device tree part of clk_get() function, since the pointer returned from of_clk_get_by_name() may become invalid before __clk_get() call. E.g. due to the clock provider driver remove() callback being called in between of_clk_get_by_name() and __clk_get(). Fix this by doing both the look up and __clk_get() operations with the clock providers list mutex held. This ensures that the clock pointer returned from __of_clk_get_from_provider() call and passed to __clk_get() is valid, as long as the clock supplier module first removes its clock provider instance and then does clk_unregister() on the corresponding clocks.
