Subject: ACPI / PM: Walk physical_node_list under physical_node_lock
From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 623cf33cb055b1e81fa47e4fc16789b2c129e31e upstream.
The list of physical devices corresponding to an ACPI device
object is walked by acpi_system_wakeup_device_seq_show() and
physical_device_enable_wakeup() without taking that object's
physical_node_lock mutex. Since each of those functions may be
run at any time as a result of a user space action, the lack of
appropriate locking in them may lead to a kernel crash if that
happens during device hot-add or hot-remove involving the device
object in question.
Fix the issue by modifying acpi_system_wakeup_device_seq_show() and
physical_device_enable_wakeup() to use physical_node_lock as
appropriate.
