[PATCH v3 2/2] of: __of_detach_node() - remove node from phandle cache

From: frowand . list
Date: Tue Dec 18 2018 - 14:40:31 EST


From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@xxxxxxxx>

Non-overlay dynamic devicetree node removal may leave the node in
the phandle cache. Subsequent calls to of_find_node_by_phandle()
will incorrectly find the stale entry. Remove the node from the
cache.

Add paranoia checks in of_find_node_by_phandle() as a second level
of defense (do not return cached node if detached, do not add node
to cache if detached).

Fixes: 0b3ce78e90fc ("of: cache phandle nodes to reduce cost of of_find_node_by_phandle()")

do not "cc: stable", unless the following commits are also in stable:

commit e54192b48da7 ("of: fix phandle cache creation for DTs with no phandles")
commit b9952b5218ad ("of: overlay: update phandle cache on overlay apply and remove")
commit 0b3ce78e90fc ("of: cache phandle nodes to reduce cost of of_find_node_by_phandle()")


Changes since v2:
- add temporary variable np in __of_free_phandle_cache_entry() to improve
readability
- explain reason for WARN_ON() in comment
- add Fixes tag in patch comment
