Subject: [PATCH] driver core: Drop devices_kset_move_last() call from really_probe()
Date: Fri, 06 Jul 2018 12:00:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8816662.k3KXbdkA2e@aspire.rjw.lan> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAFgQCTsGC8NH+5kXYD7vykJeUsaAzCAjgxSP-R0EqA3YvgsY0w@mail.gmail.com>

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

The devices_kset_move_last() call in really_probe() is a mistake
as it may cause parents to follow children in the devices_kset list
which then causes system shutdown to fail.  Namely, if a device has
children before really_probe() is called for it (which is not
uncommon), that call will cause it to be reordered after the children
in the devices_kset list and the ordering of that list will not
reflect the correct device shutdown order.

Also it causes the devices_kset list to be constantly reordered
until all drivers have been probed which is totally pointless
overhead in the majority of cases.

For that reason, revert the really_probe() modifications made by
commit 52cdbdd49853.

Fixes: 52cdbdd49853 (driver core: correct device's shutdown order)
