Subject: [PATCH] driver core: fix shutdown races with probe/remove(v1)
Date: Fri, 8 Jun 2012 13:38:49 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1339133929-30679-1-git-send-email-ming.lei@canonical.com> (raw)
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 hold device lock and its parent lock if it has to fix the
races.
