thunderbolt: Fix NULL dereference in tb_remove_work()grafted
There is a slight race between tb_remove_work() and tb_domain_remove() which leads to dereferencing a NULL tb->root_switch pointer inside tb_free_unplugged_xdomains(): Thread A Thread B tb_remove_work() tb_domain_remove() mutex_lock(&tb->lock) tb_stop() /* doesn't cancel a running callback */ cancel_delayed_work(&tcm->remove_work) ... tb_switch_remove(tb->root_switch) tb->root_switch = NULL mutex_unlock(&tb->lock) mutex_lock(&tb->lock) ... /* without checking ->root_switch */ tb_free_unplugged_xdomains(tb->root_switch) mutex_unlock(&tb->lock) Commit a8937f35cf39 ("thunderbolt: Remove XDomain from the bus without holding tb->lock") doesn't seem right to move tb_free_unplugged_xdomains() out of the &tb->lock section and the check for tb->root_switch, in particular. It states: For this reason separate removing the XDomain from the topology data structures (where we need the lock) from unregistering the device from the bus (where remove callbacks of the drivers are being called). tb_free_unplugged_xdomains() belongs to the former group of functions requiring the lock. And it also calls tb_xdomain_remove() which should only be called with &tb->lock held. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace static analysis tool.

+========
+
+Device-Mapper's "delay" target delays reads and/or writes
+and/or flushes and optionally maps them to different devices.
+
+Arguments::
+
+ <device> <offset> <delay> [<write_device> <write_offset> <write_delay>
+ [<flush_device> <flush_offset> <flush_delay>]]
+
+Table line has to either have 3, 6 or 9 arguments:
+
+3: apply offset and delay to read, write and flush operations on device
+
+6: apply offset and delay to device, also apply write_offset and write_delay
+ to write and flush operations on optionally different write_device with
+ optionally different sector offset
+
+9: same as 6 arguments plus define flush_offset and flush_delay explicitly
+ on/with optionally different flush_device/flush_offset.
+
+Offsets are specified in sectors.
+
+Delays are specified in milliseconds.
+
+
+Example scripts
+===============
+
+::
+ #!/bin/sh
+ #
+ # Create mapped device named "delayed" delaying read, write and flush operations for 500ms.
+ #
+ dmsetup create delayed --table "0 `blockdev --getsz $1` delay $1 0 500"
+
+::
+ #!/bin/sh
+ #
+ # Create mapped device delaying write and flush operations for 400ms and
+ # splitting reads to device $1 but writes and flushes to different device $2
+ # to different offsets of 2048 and 4096 sectors respectively.
+ #
+ dmsetup create delayed --table "0 `blockdev --getsz $1` delay $1 2048 0 $2 4096 400"
+
+::
+ #!/bin/sh
+ #
+ # Create mapped device delaying reads for 50ms, writes for 100ms and flushes for 333ms
+ # onto the same backing device at offset 0 sectors.
+ #
+ dmsetup create delayed --table "0 `blockdev --getsz $1` delay $1 0 50 $2 0 100 $1 0 333"
