While commitfa15d8c692("leds: Fix set_brightness_delayed() race") successfully forces led_set_brightness() to be called with LED_OFF at least once when switching from blinking to LED on state so that hw-blinking can be disabled, another race remains. Indeed in led_set_brightness(LED_OFF) followed by led_set_brightness(any) scenario the following CPU scheduling can happen: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- set_brightness_delayed() { test_and_clear_bit(BRIGHTNESS_OFF) led_set_brightness(LED_OFF) { set_bit(BRIGHTNESS_OFF) queue_work() } led_set_brightness(any) { set_bit(BRIGHTNESS) queue_work() //already queued } test_and_clear_bit(BRIGHTNESS) /* LED set with brightness any */ } /* From previous CPU1 queue_work() */ set_brightness_delayed() { test_and_clear_bit(BRIGHTNESS_OFF) /* LED turned off */ test_and_clear_bit(BRIGHTNESS) /* Clear from previous run, LED remains off */ In that case the led_set_brightness(LED_OFF)/led_set_brightness(any) sequence will be effectively executed in reverse order and LED will remain off. With the introduction of commit32360bf6a5("leds: Introduce ordered workqueue for LEDs events instead of system_wq") the race is easier to trigger as sysfs brightness configuration does not wait for set_brightness_delayed() work to finish (flush_work() removal). Use delayed_set_value to optionnally re-configure brightness after a LED_OFF. That way a LED state could be configured more that once but final state will always be as expected. Ensure that delayed_set_value modification is seen before set_bit() using smp_mb__before_atomic().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
