[PATCH] driver core: fix shutdown races with probe/remove(v2)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Firstly, .shutdown callback may touch a uninitialized hardware
if dev->driver is set and .probe is not completed.

Secondly, device_shutdown() may dereference a null pointer to cause
oops when dev->driver is cleared after it is checked in
device_shutdown().

So just try to hold device lock and its parent lock(if it has) to
fix the races.

v2:
	- take Alan's suggestion to use device_trylock to avoid
	hanging during shutdown by buggy device or driver
	- hold parent reference counter
