    PCI: Add global pci_lock_rescan_remove() · 9d16947b
    Rafael J. Wysocki authored
    There are multiple PCI device addition and removal code paths that may be
    run concurrently with the generic PCI bus rescan and device removal that
    can be triggered via sysfs.  If that happens, it may lead to multiple
    different, potentially dangerous race conditions.
    
    The most straightforward way to address those problems is to run
    the code in question under the same lock that is used by the
    generic rescan/remove code in pci-sysfs.c.  To prepare for those
    changes, move the definition of the global PCI remove/rescan lock
    to probe.c and provide global wrappers, pci_lock_rescan_remove()
    and pci_unlock_rescan_remove(), allowing drivers to manipulate
    that lock.  Also provide pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device_locked()
    for the callers of pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device() who only need
    to hold the rescan/remove lock around it.
