Writing a GPIO therefore corrupts the output latches of all input-muxed pins in the same bank: the read-modify-write in sunxi_pinctrl_gpio_set() reads back their pin levels and writes those into their latches. This breaks emulated open-drain lines (e.g. a bit-banged I2C bus from i2c-gpio). Such a line is released high by muxing it as input and letting the pull-up raise it, so any concurrent GPIO write in the same bank stores 1 into its latch. Driving the line low afterwards is a non-atomic data-then-mux sequence in sunxi_pinctrl_gpio_direction_output(); if the poisoning write lands between the two steps, the pin actively drives high (push-pull) instead of low. Observed in practice as sporadic glitches on a T507 board bit-banging I2C on port E while other PE GPIOs are toggled. On a scope the failure is unmistakable: on a clock pulse where SCL should fall to GND, the line instead steps *above* its idle high level for the whole low phase — the pad drives a strong push-pull 3.3 V high, higher than the level the pull-up sustains on the loaded bus — before the next transition recovers it. The same can hit SDA, corrupting data instead of clocks. Steps to reproduce on any sunxi board with a bit-banged (i2c-gpio) bus: # background: toggle any other GPIO of the same bank, e.g. line 21 gpioset -c --toggle 100us 21=0 & # foreground: keep the bit-banged bus busy while :; do i2cdetect -y 0x50 0x57; done # watch SCL/SDA with a scope or logic analyzer: sporadic clock-low # phases driven high (above the pull-up level) instead of low The bank spinlock cannot help: the racing write is a perfectly valid whole-register RMW that faithfully writes back what the hardware returned. There are no set/clear registers on this IP to write a single bit atomically. Fix it the same way gpio-mmio handles hardware whose data register read does not return the output latch: keep a shadow copy of each bank's latches, base the read-modify-write on the shadow, and only write the register. The shadow is seeded from the hardware at probe time so pins left in output mode by the bootloader keep their state. Pins that reach output mode through the gpiolib paths write their value (and thereby their shadow bit) before the mux switch in sunxi_pinctrl_gpio_direction_output(); pins muxed to gpio_out directly through a pinmux node bypass that path, so sunxi_pmx_set() refreshes their shadow bit from the latch (readable once the pin is in output mode) to keep them driving their pre-existing level. Seeding the shadow reads the PIO registers at probe time, which requires the bus clock to be enabled. The clock was only requested at the very end of probe, after devm_pinctrl_register() had already claimed the pin hogs described in the device tree - which mux pins, and thus access registers, with the clock still gated. Move the request ahead of both. Boards whose bootloader leaves the PIO clock running are unaffected, which is why the pre-existing hog problem has gone unnoticed since commit 950707c0eb5c ("pinctrl: sunxi: add clock support"). Fixes: df7b34f4c3d2 ("pinctrl: sunxi: Fix gpio_set behaviour") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ilya Titov --- Tested on a Wiren Board 8.5.1 (Allwinner T507) against a 6.18-based kernel, where the problem was found: the bit-banged ATECC/RTC bus on port E survives 200 probe rounds while another PE line is toggled every 100 us in the background, which reliably corrupted transfers before. The mainline port has not been re-tested on that hardware; it was build tested on v7.2-rc7 with arm64 allmodconfig and arm allmodconfig (all 28 PINCTRL_SUN* variants, W=1), both without new warnings, and sparse (v0.6.5) reports nothing for the driver. drivers/pinctrl/sunxi/pinctrl-sunxi.c | 76 +++++++++++++++++++++------ drivers/pinctrl/sunxi/pinctrl-sunxi.h | 7 +++ 2 files changed, 68 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) base-commit: f5bbbfec59b4e2fb7520a91de3df8a6174325d6a diff --git a/drivers/pinctrl/sunxi/pinctrl-sunxi.c b/drivers/pinctrl/sunxi/pinctrl-sunxi.c index 25489beeb312..3cf5cd8ed991 100644 --- a/drivers/pinctrl/sunxi/pinctrl-sunxi.c +++ b/drivers/pinctrl/sunxi/pinctrl-sunxi.c @@ -837,6 +837,21 @@ static void sunxi_pmx_set(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, writel((readl(pctl->membase + reg) & ~mask) | config << shift, pctl->membase + reg); + /* + * A pin muxed to gpio_out directly through a pinmux node bypasses + * sunxi_pinctrl_gpio_set() and drives whatever its output latch + * holds.
