The role switch registration and set_role() can happen in parallel as they
are invoked independent of each other. There is a possibility that a driver
might spend significant amount of time in usb_role_switch_register() API
due to the presence of time intensive operations like component_add()
which operate under common mutex. This leads to a time window after
allocating the switch and before setting the registered flag where the set
role notifications are dropped. Below timeline summarizes this behavior
Thread1 | Thread2
usb_role_switch_register() |
| |
---> allocate switch |
| |
---> component_add() | usb_role_switch_set_role()
| | |
| | --> Drop role notifications
| | since sw->registered
| | flag is not set.
| |
--->Set registered flag.|
To avoid this, set the registered flag early on in the switch register
API.
