commit 157c1062fcd86ade3c674503705033051fd3d401 upstream.
A sysfs request to enable or disable a PCIe hotplug slot should not
return before it has been carried out. That is sought to be achieved by
waiting until the controller's "pending_events" have been cleared.
However the IRQ thread pciehp_ist() clears the "pending_events" before
it acts on them. If pciehp_sysfs_enable_slot() / _disable_slot() happen
to check the "pending_events" after they have been cleared but while
pciehp_ist() is still running, the functions may return prematurely
with an incorrect return value.
Fix by introducing an "ist_running" flag which must be false before a sysfs
request is allowed to return.

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.
