There is a race condition when removing glue directory.
It can be reproduced in following test:
path 1: Add first child device
device_add()
get_device_parent()
/*find parent from glue_dirs.list*/
list_for_each_entry(k, &dev->class->p->glue_dirs.list, entry)
if (k->parent == parent_kobj) {
kobj = kobject_get(k);
break;
}
....
class_dir_create_and_add()
path2: Remove last child device under glue dir
device_del()
cleanup_device_parent()
cleanup_glue_dir()
kobject_put(glue_dir);
If path2 has been called cleanup_glue_dir(), but not
call kobject_put(glue_dir), the glue dir is still
in parent's kset list. Meanwhile, path1 find the glue
dir from the glue_dirs.list. Path2 may release glue dir
before path1 call kobject_get(). So kernel will report
the warning and bug_on.
This is a "classic" problem we have of a kref in a list
that can be found while the last instance could be removed
at the same time.
This patch reuse gdp_mutex to fix this race condition.
The following calltrace is captured in kernel 3.4, but
the latest kernel still has this bug.
