This is the much more correct fix for my earlier attempt at:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/12/10/118
Short recap:
- There's not actually a locking issue, it's just lockdep being a bit
too eager to complain about a possible deadlock.
- Contrary to what I claimed the real problem is recursion on
kn->count. Greg pointed me at sysfs_break_active_protection(), used
by the scsi subsystem to allow a sysfs file to unbind itself. That
would be a real deadlock, which isn't what's happening here. Also,
breaking the active protection means we'd need to manually handle
all the lifetime fun.
- With Rafael we discussed the task_work approach, which kinda works,
but has two downsides: It's a functional change for a lockdep
annotation issue, and it won't work for the bind file (which needs
to get the errno from the driver load function back to userspace).
- Greg also asked why this never showed up: To hit this you need to
unregister a 2nd driver from the unload code of your first driver. I
guess only gpus do that. The bug has always been there, but only
with a recent patch series did we add more locks so that lockdep
built a chain from unbinding the snd-hda driver to the
acpi_video_unregister call.

Propagate error code back to userspace if writing the /sys/.../uevent
file fails. Before, the write operation always returned with success,
even if we failed to recognize the input string or if we failed to
generate the uevent itself.
With the error codes properly propagated back to userspace, we are
able to react in userspace accordingly by not assuming and awaiting
a uevent that is not delivered.

SoC have internal I/O buses that can't be proved for devices. The
devices on the buses can be accessed directly without additinal
configuration required. This type of bus is represented as
"simple-bus". In some platforms, we name "soc" with "simple-bus"
attribute and many devices are hooked under it described in DT
(device tree).
In commit bf74ad5bc4 ("Hold the device's parent's lock during
probe and remove") to solve USB subsystem lock sequence since
USB device's characteristic. Thus "soc" needs to be locked
whenever a device and driver's probing happen under "soc" bus.
During this period, an async driver tries to probe a device which
is under the "soc" bus would be blocked until previous driver
finish the probing and release "soc" lock. And the next probing
under the "soc" bus need to wait for async finish. Because of
that, driver's async probe for init time improvement will be
shadowed.
Since many devices don't have USB devices' characteristic, they
actually don't need parent's lock. Thus, we introduce a lock flag
in bus_type struct and driver core would lock the parent lock base
on the flag. For USB, we set this flag in usb_bus_type to keep
original lock behavior in driver core.
Async probe could have more benefit after this patch.

This patch makes it possible to pass additional arguments in addition
to uevent action name when writing /sys/.../uevent attribute. These
additional arguments are then inserted into generated synthetic uevent
as additional environment variables.
Before, we were not able to pass any additional uevent environment
variables for synthetic uevents. This made it hard to identify such uevents
properly in userspace to make proper distinction between genuine uevents
originating from kernel and synthetic uevents triggered from userspace.
Also, it was not possible to pass any additional information which would
make it possible to optimize and change the way the synthetic uevents are
processed back in userspace based on the originating environment of the
triggering action in userspace. With the extra additional variables, we are
able to pass through this extra information needed and also it makes it
possible to synchronize with such synthetic uevents as they can be clearly
identified back in userspace.
The format for writing the uevent attribute is following:
ACTION [UUID [KEY=VALUE ...]
There's no change in how "ACTION" is recognized - it stays the same
("add", "change", "remove"). The "ACTION" is the only argument required
to generate synthetic uevent, the rest of arguments, that this patch
adds support for, are optional.
The "UUID" is considered as transaction identifier so it's possible to
use the same UUID value for one or more synthetic uevents in which case
we logically group these uevents together for any userspace listeners.
The "UUID" is expected to be in "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
format where "x" is a hex digit. The value appears in uevent as
"SYNTH_UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" environment variable.
The "KEY=VALUE" pairs can contain alphanumeric characters only. It's
possible to define zero or more more pairs - each pair is then delimited
by a space character " ". Each pair appears in synthetic uevents as
"SYNTH_ARG_KEY=VALUE" environment variable. That means the KEY name gains
"SYNTH_ARG_" prefix to avoid possible collisions with existing variables.
To pass the "KEY=VALUE" pairs, it's also required to pass in the "UUID"
part for the synthetic uevent first.
If "UUID" is not passed in, the generated synthetic uevent gains
"SYNTH_UUID=0" environment variable automatically so it's possible to
identify this situation in userspace when reading generated uevent and so
we can still make a difference between genuine and synthetic uevents.

Some devices take a long time when initializing, and not all drivers are
suited to initialize their devices when they are open. For example,
input drivers need to interrogate their devices in order to publish
device's capabilities before userspace will open them. When such drivers
are compiled into kernel they may stall entire kernel initialization.
This change allows drivers request for their probe functions to be
called asynchronously during driver and device registration (manual
binding is still synchronous). Because async_schedule is used to perform
asynchronous calls module loading will still wait for the probing to
complete.
Note that the end goal is to make the probing asynchronous by default,
so annotating drivers with PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS is a temporary
measure that allows us to speed up boot process while we validating and
fixing the rest of the drivers and preparing userspace.
This change is based on earlier patch by "Luis R. Rodriguez"

Avoid that bus_unregister() triggers a use-after-free with
CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y. This patch avoids that the
following sequence triggers a kernel crash with memory poisoning
enabled:
* bus_register()
* driver_register()
* driver_unregister()
* bus_unregister()
The above sequence causes the bus private data to be freed from
inside the bus_unregister() call although it is not guaranteed in
that function that the reference count on the bus private data has
dropped to zero. As an example, with CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y
the ${bus}/drivers kobject is still holding a reference on
bus->p->subsys.kobj via its parent pointer at the time the bus
private data is freed. Fix this by deferring freeing the bus private
data until the last kobject_put() call on bus->p->subsys.kobj.
The kernel oops triggered by the above sequence and with memory
poisoning enabled and that is fixed by this patch is as follows:

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on workqueue side this time. The changes achieve
the followings.
- WQ_UNBOUND workqueues - the workqueues which are per-cpu - are
updated to be able to interface with multiple backend worker pools.
This involved a lot of churning but the end result seems actually
neater as unbound workqueues are now a lot closer to per-cpu ones.
- The ability to interface with multiple backend worker pools are
used to implement unbound workqueues with custom attributes.
Currently the supported attributes are the nice level and CPU
affinity. It may be expanded to include cgroup association in
future. The attributes can be specified either by calling
apply_workqueue_attrs() or through /sys/bus/workqueue/WQ_NAME/* if
the workqueue in question is exported through sysfs.
The backend worker pools are keyed by the actual attributes and
shared by any workqueues which share the same attributes. When
attributes of a workqueue are changed, the workqueue binds to the
worker pool with the specified attributes while leaving the work
items which are already executing in its previous worker pools
alone.
This allows converting custom worker pool implementations which
want worker attribute tuning to use workqueues. The writeback pool
is already converted in block tree and there are a couple others
are likely to follow including btrfs io workers.
- WQ_UNBOUND's ability to bind to multiple worker pools is also used
to make it NUMA-aware. Because there's no association between work
item issuer and the specific worker assigned to execute it, before
this change, using unbound workqueue led to unnecessary cross-node
bouncing and it couldn't be helped by autonuma as it requires tasks
to have implicit node affinity and workers are assigned randomly.
After these changes, an unbound workqueue now binds to multiple
NUMA-affine worker pools so that queued work items are executed in
the same node. This is turned on by default but can be disabled
system-wide or for individual workqueues.
Crypto was requesting NUMA affinity as encrypting data across
different nodes can contribute noticeable overhead and doing it
per-cpu was too limiting for certain cases and IO throughput could
be bottlenecked by one CPU being fully occupied while others have
idle cycles.
While the new features required a lot of changes including
restructuring locking, it didn't complicate the execution paths much.
The unbound workqueue handling is now closer to per-cpu ones and the
new features are implemented by simply associating a workqueue with
different sets of backend worker pools without changing queue,
execution or flush paths.
As such, even though the amount of change is very high, I feel
relatively safe in that it isn't likely to cause subtle issues with
basic correctness of work item execution and handling. If something
is wrong, it's likely to show up as being associated with worker pools
with the wrong attributes or OOPS while workqueue attributes are being
changed or during CPU hotplug.
While this creates more backend worker pools, it doesn't add too many
more workers unless, of course, there are many workqueues with unique
combinations of attributes. Assuming everything else is the same,
NUMA awareness costs an extra worker pool per NUMA node with online
CPUs.
There are also a couple things which are being routed outside the
workqueue tree.
- block tree pulled in workqueue for-3.10 so that writeback worker
pool can be converted to unbound workqueue with sysfs control
exposed. This simplifies the code, makes writeback workers
NUMA-aware and allows tuning nice level and CPU affinity via sysfs.
- The conversion to workqueue means that there's no 1:1 association
between a specific worker, which makes writeback folks unhappy as
they want to be able to tell which filesystem caused a problem from
backtrace on systems with many filesystems mounted. This is
resolved by allowing work items to set debug info string which is
printed when the task is dumped. As this change involves unifying
implementations of dump_stack() and friends in arch codes, it's
being routed through Andrew's -mm tree."

Kay tells me the most appropriate place to expose workqueues to
userland would be /sys/devices/virtual/workqueues/WQ_NAME which is
symlinked to /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/WQ_NAME and that we're lacking
a way to do that outside of driver core as virtual_device_parent()
isn't exported and there's no inteface to conveniently create a
virtual subsystem.
This patch implements subsys_virtual_register() by factoring out
subsys_register() from subsys_system_register() and using it with
virtual_device_parent() as the origin directory. It's identical to
subsys_system_register() other than the origin directory but we aren't
gonna restrict the device names which should be used under it.
This will be used to expose workqueue attributes to userland.

A bus_type has a list of devices (klist_devices), but the list and the
subsys_private structure that contains it are not initialized until the
bus_type is registered with bus_register().
The panic/reboot path has fixups that look up devices in pci_bus_type. If
we panic before registering pci_bus_type, the bus_type exists but the list
does not, so mach_reboot_fixups() trips over a null pointer and panics
again:
mach_reboot_fixups
pci_get_device
..
bus_find_device(&pci_bus_type, ...)
bus->p is NULL
Joonsoo reported a problem when panicking before PCI was initialized.
I think this patch should be sufficient to replace the patch he posted

All sysdev classes and sysdev devices will converted to regular devices
and buses to properly hook userspace into the event processing.
There is no interesting difference between a 'sysdev' and 'device' which
would justify to roll an entire own subsystem with different userspace
export semantics. Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem
infrastructure from sysdev devices, which are currently not properly
available.
Every converted sysdev class will create a regular device with the class
name in /sys/devices/system and all registered devices will becom a children
of theses devices.
For compatibility reasons, the sysdev class-wide attributes are created
at this parent device. (Do not copy that logic for anything new, subsystem-
wide properties belong to the subsystem, not to some fake parent device
created in /sys/devices.)
Every sysdev driver is implemented as a simple subsystem interface now,
and no longer called a driver.
After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

In the future, we are going to be changing the lock type for struct
device (once we get the lockdep infrastructure properly worked out) To
make that changeover easier, and to possibly burry the lock in a
different part of struct device, let's create some functions to lock and
unlock a device so that no out-of-core code needs to be changed in the
future.
This patch creates the device_lock/unlock/trylock() functions, and
converts all in-tree users to them.
