    driver core: Avoid binding drivers to dead devices · 65488832
    Lukas Wunner authored
    Commit 3451a495 ("driver core: Establish order of operations for
    device_add and device_del via bitflag") sought to prevent asynchronous
    driver binding to a device which is being removed.  It added a
    per-device "dead" flag which is checked in the following code paths:
    
    * asynchronous binding in __driver_attach_async_helper()
    *  synchronous binding in device_driver_attach()
    * asynchronous binding in __device_attach_async_helper()
    
    It did *not* check the flag upon:
    
    *  synchronous binding in __device_attach()
    
    However __device_attach() may also be called asynchronously from:
    
    deferred_probe_work_func()
      bus_probe_device()
        device_initial_probe()
          __device_attach()
    
    So if the commit's intention was to check the "dead" flag in all
    asynchronous code paths, then a check is also necessary in
    __device_attach().  Add the missing check.
