Subject: [PATCH v19 4/7] driver core: do not always lock parent in shutdown
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 23:04:08 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260716230411.2767394-5-tarunsahu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260716230411.2767394-1-tarunsahu@google.com>

From: David Jeffery <djeffery@redhat.com>

Don't lock a parent device unless it is needed in device_shutdown. This
is in preparation for making device shutdown asynchronous, when it will
be needed to allow children of a common parent to shut down
simultaneously.

And only acquire a reference to the parent device if the parent is to be
locked.
