SubjectRe: [PATCH -next] driver core: fix deadlock in __driver_attach
From
sorry that I didn't see your reply.
it is real not potential, I have triggered this problem successfully and
proven that this change can fix it.

stack like commit b232b02bf3c2 ("driver core: fix deadlock in
__device_attach").
list below:
    In __driver_attach function, The lock holding logic is as follows:
    ...
    __driver_attach
    if (driver_allows_async_probing(drv))
      device_lock(dev)      // get lock dev
        async_schedule_dev(__driver_attach_async_helper, dev); // func
          async_schedule_node
            async_schedule_node_domain(func)
              entry = kzalloc(sizeof(struct async_entry), GFP_ATOMIC);
              /* when fail or work limit, sync to execute func, but
                 __driver_attach_async_helper will get lock dev as
                 will, which will lead to A-A deadlock.  */
              if (!entry || atomic_read(&entry_count) > MAX_WORK) {
                func;
              else
                queue_work_node(node, system_unbound_wq, &entry->work)
      device_unlock(dev)

    As above show, when it is allowed to do async probes, because of
    out of memory or work limit, async work is not be allowed, to do
    sync execute instead. it will lead to A-A deadlock because of
    __driver_attach_async_helper getting lock dev.

    Because it's logic is same as commit b232b02bf3c2 ("driver core:
fix deadlock
    in __device_attach"),  I simplify the description.


Reproduce:
and it can be reproduce by make the condition
(if (!entry || atomic_read(&entry_count) > MAX_WORK)) untenable, like below:

And my change can fix it.

thanks.
