Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 4 potential issue(s) to consider:
Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Early return misses EC hardware acknowledgement, potentially causing an interrupt storm.
- [High] Deadlock between EC threaded IRQ handler and UCSI notifier causing inevitable timeout.
- [High] Out-of-bounds array access due to dynamic `num_ports` update surpassing allocated size.
- [Medium] Undefined Behavior due to shift operation with negative exponent.

usb: typec: ucsi: huawei-gaokun: pass down HPD_IRQ events
Pass IRQ_HPD events from the EC to the HPD bridge, letting those
to be delivered to the DisplayPort driver.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but I noticed a potential
issue in gaokun_ucsi_handle_altmode() regarding the early return.
If an EC event has a port index that surpasses the UCSI capability connector
bounds, the function warns and returns early.
Because the event has already been consumed by the hardware, does skipping
the gaokun_ec_ucsi_pan_ack() call here cause the EC firmware to infinitely
resend the interrupt or stall subsequent operations?
[Severity: Medium]
This is a pre-existing issue, but looking at the gaokun_ec_ucsi_pan_ack()
call at the end of this function:
drivers/platform/arm64/huawei-gaokun-ec.c:gaokun_ec_ucsi_pan_ack() {
...
u8 data = 1 << port_id;
if (port_id == GAOKUN_UCSI_NO_PORT_UPDATE)
data = 0;
...
}
When gaokun_ucsi_altmode_notify_ind() explicitly calls this with
GAOKUN_UCSI_NO_PORT_UPDATE (which equals -1), the shift operation
evaluates unconditionally before the safety check.
Does this cause undefined behavior by shifting with a negative exponent?

[Severity: High]
This is another pre-existing issue, but I noticed a potential deadlock
between the EC threaded IRQ handler and the UCSI notifier.
If the shared gaokun_ec_irq_handler() invokes gaokun_ucsi_notify() through
the blocking notifier, it can call gaokun_ucsi_handle_no_usb_event() which
waits on a completion:
drivers/usb/typec/ucsi/ucsi_huawei_gaokun.c:gaokun_ucsi_handle_no_usb_event() {
if (!wait_for_completion_timeout(&port->usb_ack, 2 * HZ)) {
...
}
}
Since the single EC event thread is blocked inside the notifier chain waiting
for this completion, does this prevent the system from extracting the
upcoming EC_EVENT_USB to trigger the completion, imposing a guaranteed
timeout delay?
[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but there might be an
out-of-bounds array access in gaokun_ucsi_refresh() when updating port
data.
During initialization, the uec->ports array is allocated based on the
initial number of ports:
drivers/usb/typec/ucsi/ucsi_huawei_gaokun.c:gaokun_ucsi_ports_init() {
uec->ports = devm_kcalloc(dev, num_ports, sizeof(*uec->ports),
GFP_KERNEL);
...
}
In gaokun_ucsi_refresh(), when an interrupt occurs, it reads the new limit
and uses it:
drivers/usb/typec/ucsi/ucsi_huawei_gaokun.c:gaokun_ucsi_refresh() {
uec->num_ports = ureg.num_ports;
...
gaokun_ucsi_port_update(&uec->ports[idx], ureg.port_data);
}
If the EC dynamically reports a larger number of ports than the original
allocation, does this bypass the boundary check and overwrite unallocated
memory?
