of: overlay: Fix (un)locking in of_overlay_apply() The special overlay mutex is taken first, hence it should be released last in the error path. of_resolve_phandles() must be called with of_mutex held. Without it, a node and new phandle could be added via of_attach_node(), making the max phandle wrong. free_overlay_changeset() must be called with of_mutex held, if any non-trivial cleanup is to be done. Hence move "mutex_lock(&of_mutex)" up, as suggested by Frank, and merge the two tail statements of the success and error paths, now they became identical. Note that while the two mutexes are adjacent, we still need both: __of_changeset_apply_notify(), which is called by __of_changeset_apply() unlocks of_mutex, then does notifications then locks of_mutex. So the mutex get released in the middle of of_overlay_apply() Fixes: f948d6d8b792bb90 ("of: overlay: avoid race condition between applying multiple overlays") Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be> Reviewed-by: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@sony.com> Signed-off-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org>
