So why is this a correct approach? Why can acpi_container_offline() suddenly call __acpi_scan_is_offline() without the lock? > Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # v3.14+ > Signed-off-by: Xie XiuQi <xiexiuqi@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/acpi/container.c | 2 +- > drivers/acpi/internal.h | 1 + > drivers/acpi/scan.c | 15 ++++++++++++--- > 3 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/acpi/container.c b/drivers/acpi/container.c > index c8ead9f..43bda3b2 100644 > --- a/drivers/acpi/container.c > +++ b/drivers/acpi/container.c > @@ -50,7 +50,7 @@ static int acpi_container_offline(struct container_dev *cdev) > > /* Check all of the dependent devices' physical companions. */ > list_for_each_entry(child, &adev->children, node) > - if (!acpi_scan_is_offline(child, false)) > + if (!__acpi_scan_is_offline(child, false)) > return -EBUSY; > > return 0; > diff --git a/drivers/acpi/internal.h b/drivers/acpi/internal.h > index 56b321a..3b7a07b 100644 > --- a/drivers/acpi/internal.h > +++ b/drivers/acpi/internal.h > @@ -80,6 +80,7 @@ void acpi_apd_init(void); > acpi_status acpi_hotplug_schedule(struct acpi_device *adev, u32 src); > bool acpi_queue_hotplug_work(struct work_struct *work); > void acpi_device_hotplug(struct acpi_device *adev, u32 src); > +bool __acpi_scan_is_offline(struct acpi_device *adev, bool uevent); > bool acpi_scan_is_offline(struct acpi_device *adev, bool uevent); > > /* -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > diff --git a/drivers/acpi/scan.c b/drivers/acpi/scan.c > index bbca783..ea55a9a 100644 > --- a/drivers/acpi/scan.c > +++ b/drivers/acpi/scan.c > @@ -293,13 +293,12 @@ acpi_device_modalias_show(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, cha > } > static DEVICE_ATTR(modalias, 0444, acpi_device_modalias_show, NULL); > > -bool acpi_scan_is_offline(struct acpi_device *adev, bool uevent) > +/* Must be called under physical_node_lock. */ > +bool __acpi_scan_is_offline(struct acpi_device *adev, bool uevent) > { > struct acpi_device_physical_node *pn; > bool offline = true; > > - mutex_lock(&adev->physical_node_lock); > - > list_for_each_entry(pn, &adev->physical_node_list, node) > if (device_supports_offline(pn->dev) && !pn->dev->offline) { > if (uevent) > @@ -309,7 +308,17 @@ bool acpi_scan_is_offline(struct acpi_device *adev, bool uevent) > break; > } > > + return offline; > +} > + > +bool acpi_scan_is_offline(struct acpi_device *adev, bool uevent) > +{ > + bool offline = true; > + > + mutex_lock(&adev->physical_node_lock); > + offline = __acpi_scan_is_offline(adev, uevent); > mutex_unlock(&adev->physical_node_lock); > + > return offline; > } > > -- I speak only for myself.
