Michael Neuling f0295e047f powerpc/eeh: Fix race with driver un/bind
The current EEH callbacks can race with a driver unbind. This can
result in a backtraces like this:

The first part is an EEH (on boot), the second half is the resulting
crash. nvme probe starts the nvme_reset_work() worker thread. This
worker thread starts touching the device which see a device error
(EEH) and hence queues up an event in the powerpc EEH worker
thread. nvme_reset_work() then continues and runs
nvme_remove_dead_ctrl_work() which results in unbinding the driver
from the device and hence releases all resources. At the same time,
the EEH worker thread starts doing the EEH .error_detected() driver
callback, which no longer works since the resources have been freed.

This fixes the problem in the same way the generic PCIe AER code (in
drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv_core.c) does. It makes the EEH code hold
the device_lock() while performing the driver EEH callbacks and
associated code. This ensures either the callbacks are no longer
register, or if they are registered the driver will not be removed
from underneath us.

This has been broken forever. The EEH call backs were first introduced
in 2005 (in 77bd741561) but it's not clear if a lock was needed back
then.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
