When dev_pm_opp_of_find_icc_paths() in _allocate_opp_table() returns -EPROBE_DEFER, the opp_table is freed again, to wait until all the interconnect paths are available.
However, if the OPP table is using required-opps then it may already have been added to the global lazy_opp_tables list. The error path does not remove the opp_table from the list again.
This can cause crashes later when the provider of the required-opps is added, since we will iterate over OPP tables that have already been freed. E.g.:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference when read CPU: 0 PID: 7 Comm: kworker/0:0 Not tainted 6.4.0-rc3 PC is at _of_add_opp_table_v2 (include/linux/of.h:949 drivers/opp/of.c:98 drivers/opp/of.c:344 drivers/opp/of.c:404 drivers/opp/of.c:1032) -> lazy_link_required_opp_table()
Fix this by removing the opp_table from the list before freeing it.
I think you need this instead:
diff --git a/drivers/opp/core.c b/drivers/opp/core.c index 954c94865cf5..b5973fefdfd8 100644 --- a/drivers/opp/core.c +++ b/drivers/opp/core.c @@ -1358,7 +1358,10 @@ static struct opp_table *_allocate_opp_table(struct device *dev, int index) return opp_table;
remove_opp_dev:
_of_clear_opp_table(opp_table); _remove_opp_dev(opp_dev, opp_table);mutex_destroy(&opp_table->genpd_virt_dev_lock);mutex_destroy(&opp_table->lock);err: kfree(opp_table); return ERR_PTR(ret);
Thanks, this seems to fix the crash as well. Are you going to handle it or should I send a v2 with this diff?

This fixes the crash I ran into after adding an OPP table with both "required-opps" and interconnect paths (opp-peak-kBps).
By the way, the "lazy_opp_tables" does not seem to be protected by any locks(?)
It is always accessed with opp_table_lock held I believe.
During _allocate_opp_table() it's accessed without the opp_table_lock, because of
/* Drop the lock to reduce the size of critical section */ mutex_unlock(&opp_table_lock);
if (opp_table) { /* ... */ mutex_lock(&opp_table_lock); } else { opp_table = _allocate_opp_table(dev, index);
mutex_lock(&opp_table_lock); /* ... */ }
This doesn't seem to cause any problems in my case though so it's unrelated to the crash I observed.
Thanks, Stephan
