From: Duoming Zhou <duoming@xxxxxxxxxx> commit da5c0f119203ad9728920456a0f52a6d850c01cd upstream. The device_is_registered() in nfc core is used to check whether nfc device is registered in netlink related functions such as nfc_fw_download(), nfc_dev_up() and so on. Although device_is_registered() is protected by device_lock, there is still a race condition between device_del() and device_is_registered(). The root cause is that kobject_del() in device_del() is not protected by device_lock. (cleanup task) | (netlink task) | nfc_unregister_device | nfc_fw_download device_del | device_lock ... | if (!device_is_registered)//(1) kobject_del//(2) | ... ... | device_unlock The device_is_registered() returns the value of state_in_sysfs and the state_in_sysfs is set to zero in kobject_del(). If we pass check in position (1), then set zero in position (2). As a result, the check in position (1) is useless. This patch uses bool variable instead of device_is_registered() to judge whether the nfc device is registered, which is well synchronized.
