From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

commit 7018c897c2f243d4b5f1b94bc6b4831a7eab80fb upstream.

Richard reports that the following test:

(while true; do
cat /sys/bus/nd/devices/nmem*/available_slots 2>&1 > /dev/null
done) &

while true; do
for i in $(seq 0 4); do
echo nmem$i > /sys/bus/nd/drivers/nvdimm/bind
done
for i in $(seq 0 4); do
echo nmem$i > /sys/bus/nd/drivers/nvdimm/unbind
done
done

...fails with a crash signature like:

divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI
RIP: 0010:nd_label_nfree+0x134/0x1a0 [libnvdimm]
[..]
Call Trace:
available_slots_show+0x4e/0x120 [libnvdimm]
dev_attr_show+0x42/0x80
? memset+0x20/0x40
sysfs_kf_seq_show+0x218/0x410

The root cause is that available_slots_show() consults driver-data, but
fails to synchronize against device-unbind setting up a TOCTOU race to
access uninitialized memory.

Validate driver-data under the device-lock.
