[PATCH] driver core: Do not add a device that has been removed in device_shutdown to devices_kset list again.

From: Jiazi.Li
Date: Thu Jul 21 2022 - 08:34:02 EST


There is a race between device_shutdown and devices_kset_move_last:
1. device_shutdown remove dev from devices_kset, unlock list_lock

2. supplier call device_link_add move this consummer dev to
last of devices_kset:
devices_kset_move_last+0x184/0x1fc
device_reorder_to_tail+0x50/0x17c
device_link_add+0x670/0x9c0
phy_get+0x88/0x300

3. device_shutdown call dev->bus->shutdown first time

4. in next loop, device_shutdown pick this dev from devices_kset
again, and call dev->bus->shutdown for the second time.

If the protection mechanism of dev->bus->shutdown is not perfect,
the following crash will occur:

because dev->kobject.sd has been set to NULL in fisrt shutdown.
