Subject: [PATCH 4.19 05/45] libnvdimm/bus: Prevent duplicate device_unregister() calls
Date: Thu,  8 Aug 2019 21:04:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190808190454.092926881@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190808190453.827571908@linuxfoundation.org>

commit 8aac0e2338916e273ccbd438a2b7a1e8c61749f5 upstream.

A multithreaded namespace creation/destruction stress test currently
fails with signatures like the following:

    sysfs group 'power' not found for kobject 'dax1.1'
    RIP: 0010:sysfs_remove_group+0x76/0x80

     worker_thread+0x1b8/0x26e

Use the kill_device() helper to atomically resolve the race of multiple
threads issuing kill, device_unregister(), requests.
