DT isn't the only way we could probe this qcom dwc3 device, there's also ACPI. And in dwc3 core where we check for this property couldn't we add a compatible check for qcom,dwc3 and then force the property? I see that a lot of this was already discussed when these patches got applied by gregkh directly[1].

It moves it to the side > which means we may run out of memory? I suspect it would mostly work to do it, but to me it seems worse than the solution I have here. Specifically, I presume of_remove_property() is written to "move things to the side" for a reason. I guess in general callers are expecting that they can just hold onto properties forever, so if someone happened to decide to hold onto our property then things could go boom when we free it. Oh, actually, looking at the implementation I think there's another problem. I believe when of_remove_property() moves the property to the side it still expects that it can use the linked list node pointers in the property to chain it onto the "deadprops" list. > > Fixes: cefdd52fa045 ("usb: dwc3: dwc3-qcom: Enable tx-fifo-resize property by default") > > Signed-off-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> > > --- > > > > drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-qcom.c | 32 +++++++++++++++++++++----------- > > 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) > > > > diff --git a/drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-qcom.c b/drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-qcom.c > > index 9abbd01028c5..34b054033116 100644 > > --- a/drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-qcom.c > > +++ b/drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-qcom.c > > @@ -658,18 +658,28 @@ static int dwc3_qcom_of_register_core(struct platform_device *pdev) > > return -ENODEV; > > } > > > > - prop = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*prop), GFP_KERNEL); > > - if (!prop) { > > - ret = -ENOMEM; > > - dev_err(dev, "unable to allocate memory for property\n"); > > - goto node_put; > > - } > > + /* > > + * Permanently add the "tx-fifo-resize" to the device tree.

Please > drop this error message. Makes sense to drop it. I can post a v2 with this or a follow-up patch depending on what people want.

And I still would like us to come up with some sort of code-level mechanism for passing some state between dwc3-qcom and the dwc3-core, because I really want to register some callback with the core so that we don't need to duplicate extcon and usb_role_switch in both the core and platform glue.

Sure. I've posted a revert up, so either the revert or ${SUBJECT} patch will fix the problem.

On sc7180-trogdor class devices with 'fw_devlink=permissive' and KASAN enabled, you'll see a Use-After-Free reported at bootup. The root of the problem is that dwc3_qcom_of_register_core() is adding a devm-allocated "tx-fifo-resize" property to its device tree node using of_add_property(). The issue is that of_add_property() makes a _permanent_ addition to the device tree that lasts until reboot. That means allocating memory for the property using "devm" managed memory is a terrible idea since that memory will be freed upon probe deferral or device unbinding. Let's change to just allocate memory once and never free it. This sorta looks like a leak but isn't truly one, since only one property will be allocated per device tree node per boot. NOTE: one would think that perhaps it would be better to use of_remove_property() and then be able to free the property on device remove. That sounds good until you read the comments for of_remove_property(), which says that properties are never really removed and they're just moved to the side.
