Hi Rafael,

So it looks like put_device() is not guaranteed to be atomic and
srcu_invoke_callbacks() runs in atomic context. I haven't dug into why
the SRCU implementation is needed for device links and what needs to
be in the srcu callback vs be done earlier in the actual caller
context.

Can you please look into this and give your thoughts?
