[PATCH v4 0/6] platform/x86/amd/hsmp: Serialize the data plane against socket teardown

From: Muralidhara M K

This series makes the AMD HSMP driver safe against concurrent probe/remove
of its per-socket devices and against the lock-free data plane (open
/dev/hsmp fds and hwmon/sysfs reads) racing socket teardown.

The ACPI front-end binds one platform device per socket but shares a single
socket array and a single /dev/hsmp misc device across them, while the data
plane issues mailbox messages with no coordination with driver teardown.
misc_deregister() does not drain already-open fds, so an in-flight message
can touch a freed socket array or an unmapped mailbox on unbind.

The fix is built up in small, bisectable steps:

1. Serialize the ACPI probe/remove handshake with a dedicated mutex.
2. Map the metric table with ioremap() and release it via a devres action,
so its lifetime is no longer pinned to a single per-socket devres scope.
3. Serialize the per-socket metric-table fill-and-copy with a mutex.
4. Clear mdev.this_device on deregister (independent hygiene fix that the
next patch relies on to track /dev/hsmp registration).
5. Track shared socket ownership with a refcount and a single coordinated
release helper, drop the is_probed flag and unparent /dev/hsmp.
6. Add hsmp_sock_rwsem: the data plane holds it for read, a teardown path
holds it for write to drain in-flight messages before freeing the socket
array or unmapping the mailbox.

Each patch builds on its own and the series is checkpatch --strict clean.

Changes since v3:
- Use guard()/scoped locking consistently for both the probe mutex and the
data-plane rwsem, from the first patch that introduces each lock.
- Platform teardown now uses devm_add_action_or_reset(): the metric-table
unmap and the per-socket mutex destroy run from a single devres action
instead of explicit remove()/probe-failure code. The ACPI array is shared
across per-socket devices and must outlive an individual unbind, so it
stays on explicit teardown.
- Split the mdev.this_device clear into its own patch (new patch 4).
- Drop dead defensive checks: the !sock guard in hsmp_unmap_metric_tbls()
and the if (sock) in hsmp_acpi_remove(). Keep and document the one in the
probe-failure path, where sock can legitimately be NULL.
- Replace the !--refs construct with a plain decrement-then-test.
- Explain why the probe path uses a separate mutex rather than the rwsem
write side: the probe path itself drives the data plane via hsmp_test(),
which takes the rwsem for read, so holding it for write across probe
would deadlock.
- Comment cleanups: drop history and "patch N" references, drop
parenthetical function asides, single space after periods.
