commit ddf75be47ca748f8b12d28ac64d624354fddf189 upstream. CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC and CONFIG_ACPI allow adding SPI devices at runtime using a DeviceTree overlay or DSDT patch. CONFIG_SPI_SLAVE allows the same via sysfs. But there are no precautions to prevent adding a device below a controller that's being removed. Such a device is unusable and may not even be able to unbind cleanly as it becomes inaccessible once the controller has been torn down. E.g. it is then impossible to quiesce the device's interrupt. of_spi_notify() and acpi_spi_notify() do hold a ref on the controller, but otherwise run lockless against spi_unregister_controller(). Fix by holding the spi_add_lock in spi_unregister_controller() and bailing out of spi_add_device() if the controller has been unregistered concurrently.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
