In the lapb module, the timers may run concurrently with other code in this module, and there is currently no locking to prevent the code from racing on "struct lapb_cb". This patch adds locking to prevent racing. 1. Add "spinlock_t lock" to "struct lapb_cb"; Add "spin_lock_bh" and "spin_unlock_bh" to APIs, timer functions and notifier functions. 2. Add "bool t1timer_stop, t2timer_stop" to "struct lapb_cb" to make us able to ask running timers to abort; Modify "lapb_stop_t1timer" and "lapb_stop_t2timer" to make them able to abort running timers; Modify "lapb_t2timer_expiry" and "lapb_t1timer_expiry" to make them abort after they are stopped by "lapb_stop_t1timer", "lapb_stop_t2timer", and "lapb_start_t1timer", "lapb_start_t2timer". 3. Let lapb_unregister wait for other API functions and running timers to stop. 4. The lapb_device_event function calls lapb_disconnect_request. In order to avoid trying to hold the lock twice, add a new function named "__lapb_disconnect_request" which assumes the lock is held, and make it called by lapb_disconnect_request and lapb_device_event.

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.
