When remote host goes down glink char device channel is freed,
At the same time user space apps can still try to open rpmsg_char

Hi Deepak,

Could you please be a little bit more specific on the details of where
you're seeing this race? Perhaps I'm just missing something obvious?

Crash is observed in reboot test case.

Log prints suggested that ept was destroyed just before crash in rpmsg_eptdev_create().

Below code was executed before crash -

static int rpmsg_eptdev_destroy(struct device *dev, void *data)
{
    struct rpmsg_eptdev *eptdev = dev_to_eptdev(dev);

    mutex_lock(&eptdev->ept_lock);
    if (eptdev->ept) {
        rpmsg_destroy_ept(eptdev->ept);
        eptdev->ept = NULL;
    }
    mutex_unlock(&eptdev->ept_lock);

    /* wake up any blocked readers */
    wake_up_interruptible(&eptdev->readq);

    device_del(&eptdev->dev);
    put_device(&eptdev->dev);

    return 0;
}

one crash was observed in rpmsg_eptdev_create() and other in rpmsg_eptdev_poll() -

1)

rpmsg_create_ept+0x40/0xa0
rpmsg_eptdev_open+0x88/0x138
chrdev_open+0xc4/0x1c8
do_dentry_open+0x230/0x378
vfs_open+0x3c/0x48
path_openat+0x93c/0xa78
do_filp_open+0x98/0x118
do_sys_openat2+0x90/0x220
do_sys_open+0x64/0x8c

2)

rpmsg_poll+0x5c/0x80
rpmsg_eptdev_poll+0x84/0xa4
do_sys_poll+0x22c/0x5c8

Use per ept lock to avoid race between rpmsg_destroy_ept and
rpmsg_destory_ept.
I presume one of these should say rpmsg_eptdev_open().
yes, i will correct this in next patch.
Regards,
Bjorn
