There's a spinlock in place that is taken in file_operations callbacks whenever we check if spidev->spi is still alive (not null). It's also taken when spidev->spi is set to NULL in remove(). This however doesn't protect the code against driver unbind event while one of the syscalls is still in progress. To that end we need a lock taken continuously as long as we may still access spidev->spi. As both the file ops and the remove callback are never called from interrupt context, we can replace the spinlock with a mutex.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
