From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> Commit 9217a984671e (ACPI / hotplug / PCI: Use global PCI rescan-remove locking) modified ACPIPHP to protect its PCI device removal and addition code paths from races against sysfs-driven rescan and remove operations with the help of PCI rescan-remove locking. However, it overlooked the fact that hotplug_event_work() is not the only caller of hotplug_event() which may also be called by dock_hotplug_event() and that code path is missing the PCI rescan-remove locking. This means that, although the PCI rescan-remove lock is held as appropriate during the handling of events originating from handle_hotplug_event(), the ACPIPHP's operations resulting from dock events may still suffer the race conditions that commit 9217a984671e was supposed to eliminate. To address that problem, move the PCI rescan-remove locking from hotplug_event_work() to hotplug_event() so that it is used regardless of the way that function is invoked.
