Subject: [PATCH 5.4 14/18] driver core: Fix locking bug in deferred_probe_timeout_work_func()
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2021 16:48:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210415144413.500053438@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210415144413.055232956@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Saravana Kannan <saravanak@google.com>

commit eed6e41813deb9ee622cd9242341f21430d7789f upstream.

list_for_each_entry_safe() is only useful if we are deleting nodes in a
linked list within the loop. It doesn't protect against other threads
adding/deleting nodes to the list in parallel. We need to grab
deferred_probe_mutex when traversing the deferred_probe_pending_list.
