Add an additional bit flag to the device struct named "dead".

This additional flag provides a guarantee that when a device_del is
executed on a given interface an async worker will not attempt to attach
the driver following the earlier device_del call. Previously this
guarantee was not present and could result in the device_del call
attempting to remove a driver from an interface only to have the async
worker attempt to probe the driver later when it finally completes the
asynchronous probe call.

What do you think about moving this check into
__device_attach_driver() alongside all the other checks? That way we
also get ->dead checking through the __device_attach() path.

...and after that maybe it could be made a common helper
(dev_driver_checks()?) shared between __device_attach_driver() and
__driver_attach() to reduce some duplication.

I'm not really sure that is the best spot to do that. Part of the
reason being that by placing it where I did we avoid messing with the
runtime power management for the parent if it was already powered off.

If anything I would say we could probably look at pulling the check out
and placing the driver check in __device_attach_async_helper since from
what I can tell the check is actually redundant in the non-async path
anyway since __device_attach already had taken the device lock and
checked dev->driver prior to calling __device_attach_driver.

I'm not sure consolidating it into a function would really be worth the
extra effort. It would essentially just obfuscate the checks and I am
not sure you really save much with:
	if (dev_driver_checks(dev))
vs:
	if (!dev->dead && !dev->driver)

By the time you create the function and replace the few spots that are
making these checks you would end up most likely adding more complexity
to the kernel rather than reducing it any.

...but this already a rare event and the parent shouldn't otherwise be
bothered by a spurious pm_runtime wakeup event.

No, I was talking about removing this duplication in
__device_attach_driver() and __driver_attach():

        if (ret == 0) {
                /* no match */
                return 0;
        } else if (ret == -EPROBE_DEFER) {
                dev_dbg(dev, "Device match requests probe deferral\n");
                driver_deferred_probe_add(dev);
        } else if (ret < 0) {
                dev_dbg(dev, "Bus failed to match device: %d", ret);
                return ret;
        } /* ret > 0 means positive match */

...and lead in with a dev->dead check.

Is this bit of code correct? Seems like there should be a return here
doesn't it?

I just double checked and this is what is in the kernel too.

I would think that we would want to check for dev->dead before we even
call driver_match_device. That way we don't have the match function
crawling around a device that is being disassembled. Is that what you
were referring to?

Also the context for the two functions seems to be a bit different. In
the case of __device_attach_driver the device_lock is already held. In
__driver_attach the lock on the device isn't taken until after a match
has been found.

It does look odd, but I think it's ok as the driver is expected to
have its probe routine called multiple times and return -EPROBE_DEFER
if it's not ready yet.

Yeah, I just copy-pasted it, but it might deserve a comment that the
fallthrough / no return is on purpose.

I wasn't too concerned about optimizing the case where the probe path
loses the race with device_del().

Yes, I was only pattern matching when looking at the context of where
dev->dead is checked in __driver_attach() and wondering why it was
checked outside of __device_attach_driver()

...and now I realize the bigger point of your concern, we need to
check dev->dead after acquiring the device_lock otherwise the race is
back. We can defer that consolidation, but the larger concern of
making it internal to __device_attach_driver() still stands.

I'm still not a fan of moving it into __device_attach_driver. I would
much rather pull out the dev->driver check and instead place that in
__device_attach_async_helper.

The __device_attach function as I said took the device_lock and had
already checked dev->driver. So in the non-async path it shouldn't be
possible for dev->driver to ever be set anyway. In addition
__device_attach_driver is called once for each driver on a given bus,
so dropping the test should reduce driver load time since it is one
less test that has to be performed per driver.

True.

Ok. You can add my Reviewed-by.
