usb: typec: qcom-pmic-typec: disable cc_debounce_dwork on stopgrafted
cc_debounce_dwork is queued from the set_cc() and start_toggling()
callbacks, which run from TCPM's kthread worker. port_stop() returns
before tcpm_unregister_port() destroys that worker. Flushing the worker
during unregister may therefore run a callback which queues the delayed
work after port_stop() has returned.
The delayed work can then run after devres has freed pmic_typec_port.
Use disable_delayed_work_sync() in port_stop() to cancel a pending
instance and prevent the TCPM callbacks from queueing another one.
This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.

This is similar behavior to +/dev/zero, but as a block-device instead of a character-device. + +Dm-zero has no target-specific parameters. + +One very interesting use of dm-zero is for creating "sparse" devices in +conjunction with dm-snapshot. A sparse device reports a device-size larger +than the amount of actual storage space available for that device. A user can +write data anywhere within the sparse device and read it back like a normal +device. Reads to previously unwritten areas will return a zero'd buffer. When +enough data has been written to fill up the actual storage space, the sparse +device is deactivated. This can be very useful for testing device and +filesystem limitations. + +To create a sparse device, start by creating a dm-zero device that's the +desired size of the sparse device. For this example, we'll assume a 10TB +sparse device:: + + TEN_TERABYTES=`expr 10 \* 1024 \* 1024 \* 1024 \* 2` # 10 TB in sectors + echo "0 $TEN_TERABYTES zero" | dmsetup create zero1 + +Then create a snapshot of the zero device, using any available block-device as +the COW device. The size of the COW device will determine the amount of real +space available to the sparse device. For this example, we'll assume /dev/sdb1 +is an available 10GB partition:: + + echo "0 $TEN_TERABYTES snapshot /dev/mapper/zero1 /dev/sdb1 p 128" | \ + dmsetup create sparse1 + +This will create a 10TB sparse device called /dev/mapper/sparse1 that has +10GB of actual storage space available. If more than 10GB of data is written +to this device, it will start returning I/O errors. |
