Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Apr 14 16:00:48 2023 +0200 ACPI: bus: Ensure that notify handlers are not running after removal [ Upstream commit faae443738c6f0dac9b0d3d11d108f6911a989a9 ] Currently, acpi_device_remove_notify_handler() may return while the notify handler being removed is still running which may allow the module holding that handler to be torn down prematurely. Address this issue by making acpi_device_remove_notify_handler() wait for the handling of all the ACPI events in progress to complete before returning.
