Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
 "A collection of locking and async operations fixes for v5.3-rc2. These
  had been soaking in a branch targeting the merge window, but missed
  due to a regression hunt. This fixed up version has otherwise been in
  -next this past week with no reported issues.

  In order to gain confidence in the locking changes the pull also
  includes a debug / instrumentation patch to enable lockdep coverage
  for libnvdimm subsystem operations that depend on the device_lock for
  exclusion. As mentioned in the changelog it is a hack, but it works
  and documents the locking expectations of the sub-system in a way that
  others can use lockdep to verify. The driver core touches got an ack
  from Greg.

  Summary:

   - Fix duplicate device_unregister() calls (multiple threads competing
     to do unregister work when scheduling device removal from a sysfs
     attribute of the self-same device).

   - Fix badblocks registration order bug. Ensure region badblocks are
     initialized in advance of namespace registration.

   - Fix a deadlock between the bus lock and probe operations.

   - Export device-core infrastructure to coordinate async operations
     via the device -&gt;dead state.

   - Add device-core infrastructure to validate device_lock() usage with
     lockdep"

For good reason, the standard device_lock() is marked
lockdep_set_novalidate_class() because there is simply no sane way to
describe the myriad ways the device_lock() ordered with other locks.
However, that leaves subsystems that know their own local device_lock()
ordering rules to find lock ordering mistakes manually. Instead,
introduce an optional / additional lockdep-enabled lock that a subsystem
can acquire in all the same paths that the device_lock() is acquired.

A conversion of the NFIT driver and NVDIMM subsystem to a
lockdep-validate device_lock() scheme is included. The
debug_nvdimm_lock() implementation implements the correct lock-class and
stacking order for the libnvdimm device topology hierarchy.

Yes, this is a hack, but hopefully it is a useful hack for other
subsystems device_lock() debug sessions. Quoting Greg:

    "Yeah, it feels a bit hacky but it's really up to a subsystem to mess up
     using it as much as anything else, so user beware :)

     I don't object to it if it makes things easier for you to debug."

<title>drivers/base: Introduce kill_device()</title>

<id>00289cd87676e14913d2d8492d1ce05c4baafdae</id>
<content type='text'>
The libnvdimm subsystem arranges for devices to be destroyed as a result
of a sysfs operation. Since device_unregister() cannot be called from
an actively running sysfs attribute of the same device libnvdimm
arranges for device_unregister() to be performed in an out-of-line async
context.

The driver core maintains a 'dead' state for coordinating its own racing
async registration / de-registration requests. Rather than add local
'dead' state tracking infrastructure to libnvdimm device objects, export
the existing state tracking via a new kill_device() helper.

The kill_device() helper simply marks the device as dead, i.e. that it
is on its way to device_del(), or returns that the device was already
dead. This can be used in advance of calling device_unregister() for
subsystems like libnvdimm that might need to handle multiple user
threads racing to delete a device.

This refactoring does not change any behavior, but it is a pre-requisite
for follow-on fixes and therefore marked for -stable.

It looks like the child device is often matched with a name.
This introduces a helper that does it automatically.

It looks like the child device is often matched with a name.
This introduces a helper that does it automatically.

It is not absolutely clear from the docs how the cleanup path after
device_add() should look like so spell it out explicitly.

No functional changes, just documentation.

<title>driver core: Fix PM-runtime for links added during consumer probe</title>

Commit 4c06c4e6cf63 ("driver core: Fix possible supplier PM-usage
counter imbalance") introduced a regression that causes suppliers
to be suspended prematurely for device links added during consumer
driver probe if the initial PM-runtime status of the consumer is
"suspended" and the consumer is resumed after adding the link and
before pm_runtime_put_suppliers() is called.  In that case,
pm_runtime_put_suppliers() will drop the rpm_active refcount for
the link by one and (since rpm_active is equal to two after the
preceding consumer resume) the supplier's PM-runtime usage counter
will be decremented, which may cause the supplier to suspend even
though the consumer's PM-runtime status is "active".

For this reason, partially revert commit 4c06c4e6cf63 as the problem
it tried to fix needs to be addressed somewhat differently, and
change pm_runtime_get_suppliers() and pm_runtime_put_suppliers() so
that the latter only drops rpm_active references acquired by the
former.  [This requires adding a new field to struct device_link,
but I coulnd't find a cleaner way to address the issue that would
work in all cases.]

This causes pm_runtime_put_suppliers() to effectively ignore device
links added during consumer probe, so device_link_add() doesn't need
to worry about ensuring that suppliers will remain active after
pm_runtime_put_suppliers() for links created with DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE
set and it only needs to bump up rpm_active by one for those links,
so pm_runtime_active_link() is not necessary any more.

If a stateless device link to a certain supplier with
DL_FLAG_PM_RUNTIME set in the flags is added and then removed by the
consumer driver's probe callback, the supplier's PM-runtime usage
counter will be nonzero after that which effectively causes the
supplier to remain "always on" going forward.

Namely, device_link_add() called to add the link invokes
device_link_rpm_prepare() which notices that the consumer driver is
probing, so it increments the supplier's PM-runtime usage counter
with the assumption that the link will stay around until
pm_runtime_put_suppliers() is called by driver_probe_device(),
but if the link goes away before that point, the supplier's
PM-runtime usage counter will remain nonzero.

To prevent that from happening, first rework pm_runtime_get_suppliers()
and pm_runtime_put_suppliers() to use the rpm_active refounts of device
links and make the latter only drop rpm_active and the supplier's
PM-runtime usage counter for each link by one, unless rpm_active is
one already for it.  Next, modify device_link_add() to bump up the
new link's rpm_active refcount and the suppliers PM-runtime usage
counter by two, to prevent pm_runtime_put_suppliers(), if it is
called subsequently, from suspending the supplier prematurely (in
case its PM-runtime usage counter goes down to 0 in there).

Due to the way rpm_put_suppliers() works, this change does not
affect runtime suspend of the consumer ends of new device links (or,
generally, device links for which DL_FLAG_PM_RUNTIME has just been
set).

<title>driver core: Add device link flag DL_FLAG_AUTOPROBE_CONSUMER</title>

Add a new device link flag, DL_FLAG_AUTOPROBE_CONSUMER, to request the
driver core to probe for a consumer driver automatically after binding
a driver to the supplier device on a persistent managed device link.

As unbinding the supplier driver on a managed device link causes the
consumer driver to be detached from its device automatically, this
flag provides a complementary mechanism which is needed to address
some "composite device" use cases.
