      opp: Don't drop extra references to OPPs accidentally · 606a5d42
      Beata Michalska authored
      We are required to call dev_pm_opp_put() from outside of the
      opp_table->lock as debugfs removal needs to happen lock-less to avoid
      circular dependency issues.
      
      commit cf1fac94 ("opp: Reduce the size of critical section in
      _opp_kref_release()") tried to fix that introducing a new routine
      _opp_get_next() which keeps returning OPPs that can be freed by the
      callers and this routine shall be called without holding the
      opp_table->lock.
      
      Though the commit overlooked the fact that the OPPs can be referenced by
      other users as well and this routine will end up dropping references
      which were taken by other users and hence freeing the OPPs prematurely.
      
      In effect, other users of the OPPs will end up having invalid pointers
      at hand. We didn't see any crash reports earlier as the exact situation
      never happened, though it is certainly possible.
      
      We need a way to mark which OPPs are no longer referenced by the OPP
      core, so we don't drop extra references to them accidentally.
      
      This commit adds another OPP flag, "removed", which is used to track
      this. And now we should never end up dropping extra references to the
      OPPs.

      kernel: provide create_io_thread() helper · cc440e87
      Jens Axboe authored
      Provide a generic helper for setting up an io_uring worker. Returns a
      task_struct so that the caller can do whatever setup is needed, then call
      wake_up_new_task() to kick it into gear.
      
      Add a kernel_clone_args member, io_thread, which tells copy_process() to
      mark the task with PF_IO_WORKER.
