[ Upstream commit 2c70953b6f535f7698ccbf22c1f5ba26cb6c2816 ]
While commit fa15d8c69238 ("leds: Fix set_brightness_delayed() race") successfully forces led_set_brightness() to be called with LED_OFF at least once when switching from blinking to LED on state so that hw-blinking can be disabled, another race remains. Indeed in led_set_brightness(LED_OFF) followed by led_set_brightness(any) scenario the following CPU scheduling can happen:
CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- set_brightness_delayed() { test_and_clear_bit(BRIGHTNESS_OFF) led_set_brightness(LED_OFF) { set_bit(BRIGHTNESS_OFF) queue_work() } led_set_brightness(any) { set_bit(BRIGHTNESS) queue_work() //already queued } test_and_clear_bit(BRIGHTNESS) /* LED set with brightness any */ }
/* From previous CPU1 queue_work() */ set_brightness_delayed() { test_and_clear_bit(BRIGHTNESS_OFF) /* LED turned off */ test_and_clear_bit(BRIGHTNESS) /* Clear from previous run, LED remains off */
In that case the led_set_brightness(LED_OFF)/led_set_brightness(any) sequence will be effectively executed in reverse order and LED will remain off.
With the introduction of commit 32360bf6a5d4 ("leds: Introduce ordered workqueue for LEDs events instead of system_wq") the race is easier to trigger as sysfs brightness configuration does not wait for set_brightness_delayed() work to finish (flush_work() removal).
Use delayed_set_value to optionnally re-configure brightness after a LED_OFF. That way a LED state could be configured more that once but final state will always be as expected. Ensure that delayed_set_value modification is seen before set_bit() using smp_mb__before_atomic().
