Subject: [PATCH] sd: use async_probe cookie to avoid deadlocks
Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2017 13:14:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1490098475-21884-1-git-send-email-hare@suse.de> (raw)

With the current design we're waiting for all async probes to
finish when removing any sd device.
This might lead to a livelock where the 'remove' call is blocking
for any probe calls to finish, and the probe calls are waiting for
a response, which will never be processes as the thread handling
the responses is waiting for the remove call to finish.
Which is completely pointless as we only _really_ care for the
probe on _this_ device to be completed; any other probing can
happily continue for all we care.
So save the async probing cookie in the structure and only wait
if this specific probe is still active.
