When module is being initialized, __init() calls bus_register() and
driver_register().
These functions internally create various resources and sysfs files.
The sysfs files are used for basic operations(add/del device).
/sys/bus/netdevsim/new_device
/sys/bus/netdevsim/del_device
These sysfs files use netdevsim resources, they are mostly allocated
and initialized in ->probe() function, which is nsim_dev_probe().
But, sysfs files could be executed before ->probe() is finished.
So, accessing uninitialized data would occur.
Another problem is very similar.
/sys/bus/netdevsim/new_device internally creates sysfs files.
/sys/devices/netdevsim<id>/new_port
/sys/devices/netdevsim<id>/del_port
These sysfs files also use netdevsim resources, they are mostly allocated
and initialized in creating device routine, which is nsim_bus_dev_new().
But they also could be executed before nsim_bus_dev_new() is finished.
So, accessing uninitialized data would occur.
To fix these problems, this patch adds flags, which means whether the
operation is finished or not.
The flag variable 'nsim_bus_enable' means whether netdevsim bus was
initialized or not.
This is protected by nsim_bus_dev_list_lock.
The flag variable 'nsim_bus_dev->init' means whether nsim_bus_dev was
initialized or not.
This could be used in {new/del}_port_store() with no lock.
Test commands:
#SHELL1
modprobe netdevsim
while :
do
echo "1 1" > /sys/bus/netdevsim/new_device
echo "1 1" > /sys/bus/netdevsim/del_device
done
#SHELL2
while :
do
echo 1 > /sys/devices/netdevsim1/new_port
echo 1 > /sys/devices/netdevsim1/del_port
done

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.
