Call spi_slave_abort() only when the spidev->spi is !NULL and the
structure hasn't already been kfreed.

bool?

Why not initialize it at declaration time?

Can spidev->spi be NULL, if spidev->users != 0?

Hi Geert,

It may be bool, yes - I took this "int" from the original code (further
down in the patch), as I've moved it a bit up.

I wanted to have it protected by mutex_lock() above. However, this also
shall work with the initialization at declaration time.

No, it shouldn't be.

The "dofree" is only set to true (the spidev->spi == NULL condition is
checked) if there are no references (spidev->users == 0).

The if (!dofree) prevents from calling spi_slave_abort() when
spidev->spi == NULL and spidev is kfree'd.

If spidev->users != 0, the block checking spidev->spi == NULL is never
executed, and spi_slave_abort() will be called.

I'm wondering if spidev->spi can be NULL if spidev->users is still positive.

Yes, this is correct. My other patch [1] clears the FIFOs in SPI IP
block and ends (if there are any stalled) DMA transactions.

I think that it cannot.

From my tests [2] - when I do enter spi_slave_abort() function the state
of
spidev->users: 0 dofree: 0 spidev->spi: 0x51337072

So it is possible to call the spidev_release without previously setting
spidev->spi to NULL (which is done in spidev_remove() function).

IMHO the above behavior also seems to be correct, as during distortion
the slave losts synchronization from master.

The spidev_remove() callback is part of spi_device struct and is
called when the device is removed (rmmod spi_fsl_dspi).

From my tests the spidev_release() is NOT called after spidev_remove(),
so the code in former seems to be a dead one.

Or maybe there is an use case which causes calling spidev_release()
after spidev_remove()?

It *shouldn't* be.  I think we have other problems if it is.
