commit e852c2c251ed9c23ae6e3efebc5ec49adb504207 upstream. It's not needed to set driver to NULL in mei_cl_device_remove() which is bus_type remove() handler as this is done anyway in __device_release_driver(). Actually this is causing an endless loop in driver_detach() on ubuntu patched kernel, while removing (rmmod) the mei_hdcp module. The reason list_empty(&drv->p->klist_devices.k_list) is always not-empty. as the check is always true in __device_release_driver() if (dev->driver != drv) return; The non upstream patch is causing this behavior, titled: 'vfio -- release device lock before userspace requests' Nevertheless the fix is correct also for the upstream.

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.
