It was previoulsy possible to have a device tree with more chips than
the driver supports and go off the end of CS arrays.

This patches inforces CS limit but sets that limit to the max of the
default limit and what is in the device tree when driver is loaded.

This doesn't apply against current code, please check and resend.

Do you mind walking me through the code how that could have happened? We
have spi_register_controller() call of_spi_get_gpio_numbers() which has
the following:

ctlr->num_chipselect = max_t(int, nb, ctlr->num_chipselect);

such that what the controller has is the maximum between the number of
'cs-gpios' properties parsed and what was already populated in
ctrl->num_chipselect during bcm2835_spi_probe(), which for this driver
is BCM2835_SPI_NUM_CS (3).

You have changed many more things that just enforcing a limit on
BCM2835_SPI_NUM_CS you have now made all chip-select related data
structuresd dynamically allocated and you have changed a number of
prints to use the shorthand "dev" instead of &pdev->dev.

If you make a initial device tree (or add overlay in the rpi's 
config.txt) with more on the bus than BCM2835_SPI_NUM_CS (in my case 8
devices), you get into this trampling memory state. As the devices are
added, once the chip_select is equal to or greater than
BCM2835_SPI_NUM_CS, it's writing off the end of the arrays.

There is no protection from this happening. By the looks of it, this
isn't the only driver this could happen with, but it is the one I have
hardware for to test. There are also drivers that look like they don't
have a problem going well beyond the limit they gave.

There is protection in spi_add_device, which will catch extra added
later, but not ones in the device tree when the spi controller was
registered.

The change to dynamic allocated arrays is just to support what is given
in the device  tree rather than increase and enforce the CS limit just
for my case.

The shorthand is of course not required. I'll drop it on resubmitting.

Right, which means that we should probably seek a solution within the
SPI core itself, even if you can only test with spi-bcm2835.c chances
are that the fix would be applicable for other controllers if done in
the core.

Not sure I follow you, if we have the overlay before
spi_register_controller() is called, how can the check there not
trigger? And if we load the overlay later when the SPI controller is
already registered, why does not spi_add_device()'s check work?

How would I go about reproducing this on a Pi4?

I'm not sure it's possible to do in the core alone. The numb of the
issue is the core changes ctlr->num_chipselect to what is in the device
tree and some drivers are cool with that overs quietly stomp memory.

If we stop the core changing ctlr->num_chipselect then sod's law says
that we'd break existing devices which exceed the drivers num_chipselect
without a problem.

I've got a simple little patch to warn when the core expands
ctlr->num_chipselect. This warning won't go off in bcm2835 with my patch
because I am also extending ctlr->num_chipselect to the amount in the
device tree before the core does that expansion. Hopefully that new
warning would make people investigate and fix problem drivers.

I think it might be a RPI thing. I think it is merging in the overlay
and giving Linux one already merged.

Attached is a device tree overlay. If you compile that up and stick it
in /boot/overlays and add dtoverlay=rpi-bug to your config.txt, you can
get into this state.

If you do dtoverlay, you don't see anything, but if you do:

ls /dev/spi*

You can see all the spidev added by this are added. 2 of which go beyond
the drivers CS arrays.

I wouldn't expect any controller to be OK with that?  Drivers can store
per-client data in spi_device->controller_data which doesn't need
scaling (but is also not so helpful if you need to look at clients other
than the one you're currently controlling).

If the overlay is handled by the bootloader then from the point of view
of Linux there is no overlay - sounds like there's an issue in the
overlay, it should be overriding something that it doesn't?

I can see a number which certainly wouldn't. Though I don't want to
assume that all don't.

If we are happy just not letting the core expand num_chipselect that
does stop the condition on everything.

Any controller that can go higher without issue could them have their
num_chipselect set to what their real limit is if this enforcement
causes an issue.

Does it matter if the final device tree was compiled like that in the
first place or merge into that by the bootloader?

The limit isn't an hardware issue because the bcm2835 just uses any
gpios for CS. So hardware like ours with 8 spi chips on the bus is fine.
The driver's limit at 4 is arbitrary.

My patch for the bcm2835 just compares of what is in the device
tree and the harcoded limit and uses the largest. Other drivers do this.

Of course we could just raise BCM2835_SPI_NUM_CS to 8 or more if that is
preferred. Does seams like the dynamic solution is less favoured.

Joe

Yeah, some won't - some do also rely on system specific assumptions
about what's possible but there's not really mechanisms for declaring
that.

Part of the issue here is that there has been some variation in how
num_chipselect is interpreted with regard to GPIO based chip selects
over time.  It *should* be redundant, I'm not clear why it's in the
generic bindings at all but that's lost to history AFAICT.

It matters in the context of a discussion of ordering between loading
the overlay and spi_register_controller() - it's clearly not loaded
afterwards.

The best thing would be to have it not have a single array of chip
select specific data and instead store everything in the controller_data
that's there per-device.

All in all, it would make for a cleaner driver.

This gets fun with the controllers that have for various reasons open

There's the cleanup() callback which seems to fit?
