[PATCH] remoteproc: Fix potential race condition in rproc_add

Show all headers | View raw

rproc_add adds the newly created remoteproc to a list for use by
rproc_get_by_phandle and then does some additional processing to finish
adding the remoteproc. This leaves a small window of time in which the
rproc is available in the list but not yet fully initialized, so if
another driver comes along and gets a handle to the rproc, it will be
invalid. Rearrange the code in rproc_add to make sure the rproc is added
to the list only after it has been successfuly initialized.

Fixes: fec47d863587 ("remoteproc: introduce rproc_get_by_phandle API")
