[ Upstream commit 310862e574001a97ad02272bac0fd13f75f42a27 ]

When driver_attach(drv); failed, the driver_private will be freed.
But it has been added to the bus, which caused a UAF.

To fix it, we need to delete it from the bus when failed.

<title>driver core: Flow the return code from -&gt;probe() through to sysfs bind</title>

Currently really_probe() returns 1 on success and 0 if the probe() call
fails. This return code arrangement is designed to be useful for
__device_attach_driver() which is walking the device list and trying every
driver. 0 means to keep trying.

However, it is not useful for the other places that call through to
really_probe() that do actually want to see the probe() return code.

For instance bind_store() would be better to return the actual error code
from the driver's probe method, not discarding it and returning -ENODEV.

Reorganize things so that really_probe() returns the error code from
-&gt;probe as a (inverted) positive number, and 0 for successful attach.

With this, __device_attach_driver can ignore the (positive) probe errors,
return 1 to exit the loop for a successful binding and pass on the
other negative errors, while device_driver_attach simplify inverts the
positive errors and returns all errors to the sysfs code.

<title>driver core: Pull required checks into driver_probe_device()</title>

Checking if the dev is dead or if the dev is already bound is a required
precondition to invoking driver_probe_device(). All the call chains
leading here duplicate these checks.

Add it directly to driver_probe_device() so the precondition is clear and
remove the checks from device_driver_attach() and
__driver_attach_async_helper().

The other call chain going through __device_attach_driver() does have
these same checks but they are inlined into logic higher up the call stack
and can't be removed.

The sysfs uAPI call chain starting at bind_store() is a bit confused
because it reads dev-&gt;driver unlocked and returns -ENODEV if it is !NULL,
otherwise it reads it again under lock and returns 0 if it is !NULL. Fix
this to always return -EBUSY and always read dev-&gt;driver under its lock.

Done in preparation for the next patches which will add additional
callers to driver_probe_device() and will need these checks as well.

Change additional instances that could use sysfs_emit and sysfs_emit_at
that the coccinelle script could not convert.

o macros creating show functions with ## concatenation
o unbound sprintf uses with buf+len for start of output to sysfs_emit_at
o returns with ?: tests and sprintf to sysfs_emit
o sysfs output with struct class * not struct device * arguments

Miscellanea:

o remove unnecessary initializations around these changes
o consistently use int len for return length of show functions
o use octal permissions and not S_&lt;FOO&gt;
o rename a few show function names so DEVICE_ATTR_&lt;FOO&gt; can be used
o use DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_RO where appropriate
o consistently use const char *output for strings
o checkpatch/style neatening

reuse this generic exported helper for the existing bus_find_device_by_name().
and add similar variants for driver/class.

There is an arbitrary difference between the prototypes of
bus_find_device() and class_find_device() preventing their callers
from passing the same pair of data and match() arguments to both of
them, which is the const qualifier used in the prototype of
class_find_device().  If that qualifier is also used in the
bus_find_device() prototype, it will be possible to pass the same
match() callback function to both bus_find_device() and
class_find_device(), which will allow some optimizations to be made in
order to avoid code duplication going forward.  Also with that, constify
the "data" parameter as it is passed as a const to the match function.

For this reason, change the prototype of bus_find_device() to match
the prototype of class_find_device() and adjust its callers to use the
const qualifier in accordance with the new prototype of it.
