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.

+Display Hardware Handling
+=========================
+
+This section covers everything related to the display hardware including
+the mode setting infrastructure, plane, sprite and cursor handling and
+display, output probing and related topics.

+
+KUnit Tests
+===========
+
+The VC4 Driver uses KUnit to perform driver-specific unit and
+integration tests.
+
+These tests are using a mock driver and can be ran using the
+command below, on either arm or arm64 architectures,
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run \
+ --kunitconfig=drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/tests/.kunitconfig \
+ --cross_compile aarch64-linux-gnu- --arch arm64
+
+Parts of the driver that are currently covered by tests are:
+ * The HVS to PixelValve dynamic FIFO assignment, for the BCM2835-7
+ and BCM2711.
+
