commit 9791ec7df0 upstream.
On systems or VMs where multiple devices share a single DevID
(because they sit behind a PCI bridge, or because the HW is
broken in funky ways), we reuse the save its_device structure
in order to reflect this.
It turns out that there is a distinct lack of locking when looking
up the its_device, and two device being probed concurrently can result
in double allocations. That's obviously not nice.
A solution for this is to have a per-ITS mutex that serializes device
allocation.
A similar issue exists on the freeing side, which can run concurrently
with the allocation. On top of now taking the appropriate lock, we
also make sure that a shared device is never freed, as we have no way
to currently track the life cycle of such object.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
