This reverts commit 81f9507628.
It causes random failures of firmware loading at resume time (well,
random for me, it seems to be more reliable for others) because the
firmware disabling is not actually synchronous with any particular
resume event, and at least the btusb driver that uses a workqueue to
load the firmware at resume seems to occasionally hit the "firmware
loading is disabled" logic because the firmware loader hasn't gotten the
resume event yet.
Some kind of sanity check for not trying to load firmware when it's not
possible might be a good thing, but this commit was not it.
Greg seems to have silently suffered the same issue, and pointed to the
likely culprit, and Gabriel C verified the revert fixed it for him too.

Right now we send -EAGAIN to a syfs write which got interrupted.
Userspace can't tell what happened though, send -EINTR if we
were killed due to a signal so userspace can tell things apart.
This is only applicable to the fallback mechanism.

Commit 0cb64249ca ("firmware_loader: abort request if wait_for_completion
is interrupted") added via 4.0 added support to abort the fallback mechanism
when a signal was detected and wait_for_completion_interruptible() returned
-ERESTARTSYS -- for instance when a user hits CTRL-C. The abort was overly
*too* effective.
When a child process terminates (successful or not) the signal SIGCHLD can
be sent to the parent process which ran the child in the background and
later triggered a sync request for firmware through a sysfs interface which
relies on the fallback mechanism. This signal in turn can be recieved by the
interruptible wait we constructed on firmware_class and detects it as an
abort *before* userspace could get a chance to write the firmware. Upon
failure -EAGAIN is returned, so userspace is also kept in the dark about
exactly what happened.
We can reproduce the issue with the fw_fallback.sh selftest:
Before this patch:
$ sudo tools/testing/selftests/firmware/fw_fallback.sh
...
tools/testing/selftests/firmware/fw_fallback.sh: error - sync firmware request cancelled due to SIGCHLD
After this patch:
$ sudo tools/testing/selftests/firmware/fw_fallback.sh
...
tools/testing/selftests/firmware/fw_fallback.sh: SIGCHLD on sync ignored as expected
Fix this by making the wait killable -- only killable by SIGKILL (kill -9).
We loose the ability to allow userspace to cancel a write with CTRL-C
(SIGINT), however its been decided the compromise to require SIGKILL is
worth the gains.
Chances of this issue occuring are low due to the number of drivers upstream
exclusively relying on the fallback mechanism for firmware (2 drivers),
however this is observed in the field with custom drivers with sysfs
triggers to load firmware. Only distributions relying on the fallback
mechanism are impacted as well. An example reported issue was on Android,
as follows:
1) Android init (pid=1) fork()s (say pid=42) [this child process is totally
unrelated to firmware loading, it could be sleep 2; for all we care ]
2) Android init (pid=1) does a write() on a (driver custom) sysfs file which
ends up calling request_firmware() kernel side
3) The firmware loading fallback mechanism is used, the request is sent to
userspace and pid 1 waits in the kernel on wait_*
4) before firmware loading completes pid 42 dies (for any reason, even
normal termination)
5) Kernel delivers SIGCHLD to pid=1 to tell it a child has died, which
causes -ERESTARTSYS to be returned from wait_*
6) The kernel's wait aborts and return -EAGAIN for the
request_firmware() caller.

Fix batched requests from waiting forever on failure.
The firmware API batched requests feature has been broken since the API call
request_firmware_direct() was introduced on commit bba3a87e98 ("firmware:
Introduce request_firmware_direct()"), added on v3.14 *iff* the firmware
being requested was not present in *certain kernel builds* [0].
When no firmware is found the worker which goes on to finish never informs
waiters queued up of this, so any batched request will stall in what seems
to be forever (MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT). Sadly, a reboot will also stall, as
the reboot notifier was only designed to kill custom fallback workers. The
issue seems to the user as a type of soft lockup, what *actually* happens
underneath the hood is a wait call which never completes as we failed to
issue a completion on error.
For device drivers with optional firmware schemes (ie, Intel iwlwifi, or
Netronome -- even though it uses request_firmware() and not
request_firmware_direct()), this could mean that when you boot a system with
multiple cards the firmware will seem to never load on the system, or that
the card is just not responsive even the driver initialization. Due to
differences in scheduling possible this should not always trigger --
one would need to to ensure that multiple requests are in place at the
right time for this to work, also release_firmware() must not be called
prior to any other incoming request. The complexity may not be worth
supporting batched requests in the future given the wait mechanism is
only used also for the fallback mechanism. We'll keep it for now and
just fix it.
Its reported that at least with the Intel WiFi cards on one system this
issue was creeping up 50% of the boots [0].

The firmware cache mechanism serves two purposes, the secondary purpose is
not well documented nor understood. This fixes a regression with the
secondary purpose of the firmware cache mechanism: batched requests on
successful lookups. Without this fix *any* time a batched request is
triggered, secondary requests for which the batched request mechanism
was designed for will seem to last forver and seem to never return.
This issue is present for all kernel builds possible, and a hard reset
is required.
The firmware cache is used for:
1) Addressing races with file lookups during the suspend/resume cycle
by keeping firmware in memory during the suspend/resume cycle
2) Batched requests for the same file rely only on work from the first file
lookup, which keeps the firmware in memory until the last
release_firmware() is called
Batched requests *only* take effect if secondary requests come in prior to
the first user calling release_firmware(). The devres name used for the
internal firmware cache is used as a hint other pending requests are
ongoing, the firmware buffer data is kept in memory until the last user of
the buffer calls release_firmware(), therefore serializing requests and
delaying the release until all requests are done.
Batched requests wait for a wakup or signal so we can rely on the first file
fetch to write to the pending secondary requests. Commit 5b02962494
("firmware: do not use fw_lock for fw_state protection") ported the firmware
API to use swait, and in doing so failed to convert complete_all() to
swake_up_all() -- it used swake_up(), loosing the ability for *some* batched
requests to take effect.
We *could* fix this by just using swake_up_all() *but* swait is now known
to be very special use case, so its best to just move away from it. So we
just go back to using completions as before commit 5b02962494 ("firmware:
do not use fw_lock for fw_state protection") given this was using
complete_all().
Without this fix it has been reported plugging in two Intel 6260 Wifi cards
on a system will end up enumerating the two devices only 50% of the time
[0]. The ported swake_up() should have actually handled the case with two
devices, however, *if more than two cards are used* the swake_up() would
not have sufficed. This change is only part of the required fixes for
batched requests. Another fix is provided in the next patch.
This particular change should fix the cases where more than three requests
with the same firmware name is used, otherwise batched requests will wait
for MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT and just timeout eventually.
Below is a summary of tests triggering batched requests on different
kernel builds.

This moves the usermode helper locks into only code paths that use the
usermode helper API from the kernel. The usermode helper locks were
originally added to prevent stalling suspend, later the firmware cache
was added to help with this, and further later direct filesystem lookup
was added by Linus to completely bypass udev due to the amount of issues
the umh approach had.
The usermode helper locks were kept even when the direct filesystem lookup
mechanism is used though. A lot has changed since the original usermode
helper locks were added but the recent commit which added the code for
firmware_enabled() are intended to address any possible races cured only
as collateral by using the locks as though side consequence of code
evolution and this not being addressed any time sooner. With the
firmware_enabled() code in place we are a bit more sure to move the
usermode helper locks to UMH only code.
There is a bit of history here so let's recap a bit of it to ensure nothing
is lost and things are clear. The direct filesystem approach to loading
firmware is rather new, it was added via commit abb139e75c ("firmware:
teach the kernel to load firmware files directly from the filesystem") by
Linus merged on the v3.7 release, to enable to bypass udev.
usermodehelper_read_lock_wait() was added earlier via commit 9b78c1da60
("firmware_class: Do not warn that system is not ready from async loads")
merged on v3.4, after Rafael noted that the async firmware API call
request_firmware_nowait() should not be penalized to fail if userspace is
not available yet or frozen, it'd allow for a timeout grace period before
giving up. The WARN_ON() was kept for the sync firmware API call though on
request_firmware(). At this time there was no direct filesystem lookup for
firmware though.
The original usermode helper lock came from commit a144c6a6c9 ("PM:
Print a warning if firmware is requested when tasks are frozen") merged on
the v3.0 kernel by Rafael to print a warning back when firmware requests
were used on resume(), thaw() or restore() callbacks and there was no
direct fs lookups or the firmware cache.

The firmware API should not be used after we go to suspend
and after we reboot/halt. The suspend/resume case is a bit
complex, so this documents that so things are clearer.
We want to know about users of the API in incorrect places so
that their callers are corrected, so this also adds a warn
for those cases.

Since commit 5d47ec02c3 ("firmware: Correct handling of
fw_state_wait() return value") fw_load_abort() could be called twice and
lead us to a kernel crash. This happens only when the firmware fallback
mechanism (regular or custom) is used. The fallback mechanism exposes a
sysfs interface for userspace to upload a file and notify the kernel
when the file is loaded and ready, or to cancel an upload by echo'ing -1
into on the loading file:
echo -n "-1" > /sys/$DEVPATH/loading
This will call fw_load_abort(). Some distributions actually have a udev
rule in place to *always* immediately cancel all firmware fallback
mechanism requests (Debian), they have:
$ cat /lib/udev/rules.d/50-firmware.rules
# stub for immediately telling the kernel that userspace firmware loading
# failed; necessary to avoid long timeouts with CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y
SUBSYSTEM=="firmware", ACTION=="add", ATTR{loading}="-1
Distributions with this udev rule would run into this crash only if the
fallback mechanism is used. Since most distributions disable by default
using the fallback mechanism (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK),
this would typicaly mean only 2 drivers which *require* the fallback
mechanism could typically incur a crash: drivers/firmware/dell_rbu.c and
the drivers/leds/leds-lp55xx-common.c driver. Distributions enabling
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK by default are obviously more
exposed to this crash.
The crash happens because after commit 5b02962494 ("firmware: do not
use fw_lock for fw_state protection") and subsequent fix commit
5d47ec02c3 ("firmware: Correct handling of fw_state_wait() return
value") a race can happen between this cancelation and the firmware
fw_state_wait_timeout() being woken up after a state change with which
fw_load_abort() as that calls swake_up(). Upon error
fw_state_wait_timeout() will also again call fw_load_abort() and trigger
a null reference.
At first glance we could just fix this with a !buf check on
fw_load_abort() before accessing buf->fw_st, however there is a logical
issue in having a state machine used for the fallback mechanism and
preventing access from it once we abort as its inside the buf
(buf->fw_st).
The firmware_class.c code is setting the buf to NULL to annotate an
abort has occurred. Replace this mechanism by simply using the state
check instead. All the other code in place already uses similar checks
for aborting as well so no further changes are needed.
An oops can be reproduced with the new fw_fallback.sh fallback mechanism
cancellation test. Either cancelling the fallback mechanism or the
custom fallback mechanism triggers a crash.

When request_firmware() finds an already open firmware object it will
wait for that object to become fully loaded and then check the status.
As __fw_state_wait_common() succeeds the timeout value returned will be
truncated in _request_firmware_prepare() and interpreted as -EPERM.
Prior to "firmware: do not use fw_lock for fw_state protection" the code
did test if we where in the "done" state before sleeping, causing this
particular code path to succeed, in some cases.
As the callers are interested in the result of the wait and not the
remaining timeout the return value of __fw_state_wait_common() is
changed to signal "done" or "error", which simplifies the logic in
_request_firmware_load() as well.

fw_lock is to use to protect 'corner cases' inside firmware_class. It
is not exactly clear what those corner cases are nor what it exactly
protects. fw_state can be used without needing the fw_lock to protect
its state transition and wake ups.
fw_state is holds the state in status and the completion is used to
wake up all waiters (in this case that is the user land helper so only
one). This operation has to be 'atomic' to avoid races. We can do this
by using swait which takes care we don't miss any wake up.
We use also swait instead of wait because don't need all the additional
features wait provides.
Note there some more cleanups possible after with this change. For
example for !CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER we don't check for the state
anymore. Let's to this in the next patch instead mingling to many
changes into this one. And yes you get a gcc warning "‘__fw_state_check’
defined but not used [-Wunused-function] code." for the time beeing.

We track the state of the firmware loading with bit ops. Since the
state machine has only a few states and they are all mutual exclusive
there are only a few simple state transition we can model this simplify.
UNKNOWN -> LOADING -> DONE | ABORTED
Because we don't use any bit ops on fw_state::status anymore we are able
to change the data type to enum fw_status and update the function
arguments accordingly.
READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() are propably not needed because there are a
lot of load and stores around fw_st->status. But let's make it explicit
and not be sorry later.

The firmware loader tracks the current state of the loading process
via unsigned long status and a completion in struct
firmware_buf. Instead of open code tracking the state, introduce data
structure which encapsulate the state tracking and synchronization.
While at it also separate UHM states from direct loading states, e.g.
the loading_timeout is only defined when CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER.

When you use the firmware usermode helper fallback with a timeout value set to a
value greater than INT_MAX (2147483647) a cast overflow issue causes the
timeout value to go negative and breaks all usermode helper loading. This
regression was introduced through commit 68ff2a00db ("firmware_loader:
handle timeout via wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout()") on kernel
v4.0.
The firmware_class drivers relies on the firmware usermode helper
fallback as a mechanism to look for firmware if the direct filesystem
search failed only if:
a) You've enabled CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK (not many distros):
Then all of these callers will rely on the fallback mechanism in case
the firmware is not found through an initial direct filesystem lookup:
o request_firmware()
o request_firmware_into_buf()
o request_firmware_nowait()
b) If you've only enabled CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER (most distros):
Then only callers using request_firmware_nowait() with the second
argument set to false, this explicitly is requesting the UMH firmware
fallback to be relied on in case the first filesystem lookup fails.
Using Coccinelle SmPL grammar we have identified only two drivers
explicitly requesting the UMH firmware fallback mechanism:
- drivers/firmware/dell_rbu.c
- drivers/leds/leds-lp55xx-common.c
Since most distributions only enable CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER the
biggest impact of this regression are users of the dell_rbu and
leds-lp55xx-common device driver which required the UMH to find their
respective needed firmwares.
The default timeout for the UMH is set to 60 seconds always, as of
commit 68ff2a00db ("firmware_loader: handle timeout via
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout()") the timeout was bumped
to MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET ((LONG_MAX >> 1)-1). Additionally the MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET
value was also used if the timeout was configured by a user to 0.
The following works:
echo 2147483647 > /sys/class/firmware/timeout
But both of the following set the timeout to MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET even if
we display 0 back to userspace:
echo 2147483648 > /sys/class/firmware/timeout
cat /sys/class/firmware/timeout
0
echo 0> /sys/class/firmware/timeout
cat /sys/class/firmware/timeout
0
A max value of INT_MAX (2147483647) seconds is therefore implicit due to the
another cast with simple_strtol().
This fixes the secondary cast (the first one is simple_strtol() but its an
issue only by forcing an implicit limit) by re-using the timeout variable and
only setting retval in appropriate cases.
Lastly worth noting systemd had ripped out the UMH firmware fallback
mechanism from udev since udev 2014 via commit be2ea723b1d023b3d
("udev: remove userspace firmware loading support"), so as of systemd v217.

Some systems are memory constrained but they need to load very large
firmwares. The firmware subsystem allows drivers to request this
firmware be loaded from the filesystem, but this requires that the
entire firmware be loaded into kernel memory first before it's provided
to the driver. This can lead to a situation where we map the firmware
twice, once to load the firmware into kernel memory and once to copy the
firmware into the final resting place.
This creates needless memory pressure and delays loading because we have
to copy from kernel memory to somewhere else. Let's add a
request_firmware_into_buf() API that allows drivers to request firmware
be loaded directly into a pre-allocated buffer. This skips the
intermediate step of allocating a buffer in kernel memory to hold the
firmware image while it's read from the filesystem. It also requires
that drivers know how much memory they'll require before requesting the
firmware and negates any benefits of firmware caching because the
firmware layer doesn't manage the buffer lifetime.
For a 16MB buffer, about half the time is spent performing a memcpy from
the buffer to the final resting place. I see loading times go from
0.081171 seconds to 0.047696 seconds after applying this patch. Plus
the vmalloc pressure is reduced.
This is based on a patch from Vikram Mulukutla on codeaurora.org:

We use similar structured code to read and write the kmapped firmware
pages. The only difference is read copies from the kmap region and
write copies to it. Consolidate this into one function to reduce

When we now use the new kernel_read_file_from_path() we
are reporting a failure when we iterate over all the paths
possible for firmware. Before using kernel_read_file_from_path()
we only reported a failure once we confirmed a file existed
with filp_open() but failed with fw_read_file_contents().
With kernel_read_file_from_path() both are done for us and
we obviously are now reporting too much information given that
some optional paths will always fail and clutter the logs.
fw_get_filesystem_firmware() already has a check for failure
and uses an internal flag, FW_OPT_NO_WARN, but this does not
let us capture other unxpected errors. This enables that

Replace the fw_read_file_contents with kernel_file_read_from_path().
Although none of the upstreamed LSMs define a kernel_fw_from_file hook,
IMA is called by the security function to prevent unsigned firmware from
being loaded and to measure/appraise signed firmware, based on policy.
Instead of reading the firmware twice, once for measuring/appraising the
firmware and again for reading the firmware contents into memory, the
kernel_post_read_file() security hook calculates the file hash based on
the in memory file buffer. The firmware is read once.
This patch removes the LSM kernel_fw_from_file() hook and security call.

We currently use flexible arrays with a char at the
end for the remaining internal firmware name uses.
There are two limitations with the way we use this.
Since we're using a flexible array for a string on the
struct if we wanted to use two strings it means we'd
have a disjoint means of handling the strings, one
using the flexible array, and another a char * pointer.
We're also currently not using 'const' for the string.
We wish to later extend some firmware data structures
with other string/char pointers, but we also want to be
very pedantic about const usage. Since we're going to
change things to use 'const' we might as well also address
unified way to use multiple strings on the structs.
Replace the flexible array practice for strings with
kstrdup_const() and kfree_const(), this will avoid
allocations when the vmlinux .rodata is used, and just
allocate a new proper string for us when needed. This
also means we can simplify the struct allocations by
removing the string length from the allocation size
computation, which would otherwise get even more
complicated when supporting multiple strings.

This patch reduces the kernel size by removing error messages that duplicate
the normal OOM message.
A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr)
@@
identifier f,print,l;
expression e;
constant char[] c;
@@
e = \(kzalloc\|kmalloc\|devm_kzalloc\|devm_kmalloc\)(...);
if (e == NULL) {
<+...
- print(...,c,...);
... when any
(
goto l;
|
return ...;
)
...+> }

It is simpler to handle timeout by wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout(),
so remove previous delay work for timeout.

If current request is interrupted by signal, such as 'ctrl + c',
this request has to be aborted for the following reasons:
- the buf need to be removed from pending list
- same requests from other contexts need to be completed
