[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 13/57] power: remove possible deadlock when unregistering power_supply

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Sun Sep 16 2018 - 23:17:30 EST


From: Benjamin Tissoires <benjamin.tissoires@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 3ffa6583e24e1ad1abab836d24bfc9d2308074e5 ]

If a device gets removed right after having registered a power_supply node,
we might enter in a deadlock between the remove call (that has a lock on
the parent device) and the deferred register work.

Allow the deferred register work to exit without taking the lock when
we are in the remove state.
