The race fixed in timer_trig_activate() between a blocking set_brightness() call and trigger->activate() can affect any trigger. So move the call to flush_work() into led_trigger_set() where it can avoid the race for all triggers.
Fixes: 0db37915d912 ("leds: avoid races with workqueue") Fixes: 8c0f693c6eff ("leds: avoid flush_work in atomic context") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Tested-by: Dustin L. Howett dustin@howett.net Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh linux@weissschuh.net --- Changes in v2: - Cc stable - Add Dustin's Tested-by - Rebase against led/for-leds-next - Always execute flush_work(), similar to synchronize_rcu() - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240603-led-trigger-flush-v1-1-c904c6e2fb34@weiss... ---
Commit 7abae7a11fc9 ("leds: trigger: Call synchronize_rcu() before calling trig->activate()") alone also solves the issue that the LED stays completely off after enabling the trigger. But there is a recognizable timeframe where it is disabled in between.
Also from a correctness perspective, this seems like a coincidence and the call to flush_work() is the correct fix for that race. --- drivers/leds/led-triggers.c | 6 ++++++ drivers/leds/trigger/ledtrig-timer.c | 5 ----- 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-)
