driver core: take parent lock in async device attach
For device types with need_parent_lock set (only USB interfaces),
probe() must run with the parent device locked. A synchronous attach
after device_add() gets this from the caller, e.g.
usb_set_configuration() holds the udev lock while adding interfaces.
__device_attach_async_helper() runs the probe from an async worker
instead, where that lock isn't held, and only takes device_lock(dev).
With async probing enabled for the hub driver (e.g. driver_async_probe=*
or driver_async_probe=hub), this races when a multi-TT hub is
configured. For multi-TT hubs, hub_probe() calls
usb_set_interface(hdev, 0, 1) to select the TT-per-port altsetting, and
usb_set_interface() creates the endpoint devices of the interface a
second time:
usb_set_configuration() async worker
[udev locked]
device_add(intf)
queues the probe ----------> __device_attach_async_helper()
[intf locked, udev not locked]
hub_probe()
usb_set_interface(hdev, 0, 1)
create_intf_ep_devs(intf) create_intf_ep_devs(intf)
create_intf_ep_devs() checks and sets intf->ep_devs_created without a
lock of its own. If usb_set_configuration() has created ep_81 but not
yet set the flag, usb_set_interface() skips removing the endpoint
devices of the old altsetting and creates ep_81 again. With a
synchronous probe, hub_probe() runs inside device_add() with the udev
lock held, and usb_set_configuration() then finds ep_devs_created
already set.
Single-TT hubs don't call usb_set_interface() from hub_probe() and
don't show this warning, but their probe runs without the udev lock as
well.
On an i.MX8MM board with an onboard USB2514 hub this hit 11 of 100
boots:
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '.../1-1/1-1:1.0/ep_81'
Call trace:
sysfs_warn_dup
usb_create_ep_devs
create_intf_ep_devs
usb_set_interface
hub_probe
usb_probe_interface
really_probe
__device_attach_async_helper
async_run_entry_fn
It also shows on v7.3-rc6 in QEMU, with dummy_hcd and a raw-gadget
program emulating a multi-TT hub: re-authorizing the hub in a loop,
while a SCHED_FIFO task preempts the writing task at random points for
3 ms, hit the warning in 29 of 6000 iterations.
Take the parent lock in __device_attach_async_helper() as well, like
__driver_attach_async_helper() does, and move
__device_driver_lock/unlock() up for that. With this the warning was
gone in 300 boots on the board and in 6000 iterations in QEMU.
