libnvdimm/dimm: Avoid race between probe and available_slots_show()
commit 7018c897c2f243d4b5f1b94bc6b4831a7eab80fb upstream Richard reports that the following test: (while true; do cat /sys/bus/nd/devices/nmem*/available_slots 2>&1 > /dev/null done) & while true; do for i in $(seq 0 4); do echo nmem$i > /sys/bus/nd/drivers/nvdimm/bind done for i in $(seq 0 4); do echo nmem$i > /sys/bus/nd/drivers/nvdimm/unbind done done ...fails with a crash signature like: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI RIP: 0010:nd_label_nfree+0x134/0x1a0 [libnvdimm] [..] Call Trace: available_slots_show+0x4e/0x120 [libnvdimm] dev_attr_show+0x42/0x80 ? memset+0x20/0x40 sysfs_kf_seq_show+0x218/0x410 The root cause is that available_slots_show() consults driver-data, but fails to synchronize against device-unbind setting up a TOCTOU race to access uninitialized memory. Validate driver-data under the device-lock.
