[PATCH 5.10 077/188] driver core: Fix locking bug in deferred_probe_timeout_work_func()

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

 



From: Saravana Kannan <saravanak@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit eed6e41813deb9ee622cd9242341f21430d7789f upstream.

list_for_each_entry_safe() is only useful if we are deleting nodes in a
linked list within the loop. It doesn't protect against other threads
adding/deleting nodes to the list in parallel. We need to grab
deferred_probe_mutex when traversing the deferred_probe_pending_list.

Fixes: 25b4e70dcce9 ("driver core: allow stopping deferred probe after init")
