I once documented locking behavior in
Documentation/core-api/memory-hotplug.rst
Both, device_online() and __remove_memory() always have to be called
holding the device_hotplug_lock(), to avoid such races.
# echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory8/state
and
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory8/online
either end up in:
-> online_store()
-- lock_device_hotplug_sysfs();
-- device_offline(dev)
-> state_store()
-- lock_device_hotplug_sysfs();
-- device_online(&mem->dev);
So the device_hotplug_lock prohibits the race you describe.
BUT
There is a possible race between the device_hotplug_lock and the
kn->count#122. However, that race can never trigger, as userspace
properly backs off in case it cannot get grip of the device_hotplug_lock.
(lock_device_hotplug_sysfs does a mutex_trylock(&device_hotplug_lock))
