Which will leave window when device_add can try to add the device to device_kset list and temper with ongoing shutdown process. New added device can be async type or sync type and might also introduce new dependency which can cause device_shutdown path to deadlock. S is waiting C to finish but C is never scheduled as it was added recently from device_add path. And C can only be scheduled when main loops continue to reach to C which is waiting on S. So, When a system enters shutdown (SYSTEM_HALT, SYSTEM_POWER_OFF, or SYSTEM_RESTART), new devices should not be allowed to be added. Adding system_state check (system_is_shutting_down()) to avoid device_add incase of these states of the system. And use srcu so the device shutdown operation can synchronize device_add and ensure any device_add in progress is finished.
