From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> The ACPI scan lock has been introduced to prevent acpi_bus_scan() and acpi_bus_trim() from running in parallel with each other for overlapping ACPI namespace scopes. However, it is not sufficient to do that, because if acpi_bus_scan() is run (for an overlapping namespace scope) right after the acpi_bus_trim() in acpi_bus_hot_remove_device(), the subsequent eject will remove devices without removing the corresponding struct acpi_device objects (and possibly companion "physical" device objects). Therefore acpi_bus_hot_remove_device() has to acquire the scan lock before carrying out the bus trimming and hold it through the evaluation of _EJ0, so make that happen. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
