Hi all,
I'm testing out asynchronous probe (that's, kernel cmdline
'driver_async_probe=*' or similar), and I've identified a regression in
v6.1-rc1 due to this:
commit 57365a04c92126525a58bf7a1599ddfa832415e9
Author: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@xxxxxxx>
Date: Mon Aug 15 17:20:06 2022 +0100
iommu: Move bus setup to IOMMU device registration
In particular, I'm testing a Rockchip RK3399 system with
'driver_async_probe=rk_iommu', and finding I crash like this:

I find if I revert the above commit (and 29e932295bfa ("iommu: Clean up
bus_set_iommu()"), to keep the reverts clean), things start working again.
I haven't worked out exactly what's going wrong, but the patch looks like it
isn't async safe at all, due to the way each device is poking (without locking)
at the global iommu_buses[].
