[PATCH 0/3] Fix races on device removal

[Lukas Wunner <lukas@wunner.de>]

Prevent dynamic SPI device addition below a controller which is
being removed.  To do so, set the controller's "dead" flag using
kill_device() (patch [3/3]).

Serialize access to a device's "dead" flag with a newly introduced
rw_semaphore in lieu of the device_lock to avoid deadlocks occurring
with the new use case (patch [2/3]).

Add a missing check for the "dead" flag upon driver binding
(patch [1/3]).


Lukas Wunner (3):
  driver core: Avoid binding drivers to dead devices
  driver core: Use rwsem for kill_device() serialization
  driver core: Avoid adding children below a dead parent
