Subject: [ 057/187] rpmsg: make sure inflight messages dont invoke just-removed callbacks

From: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ohad Ben-Cohen <ohad@...ery.com>

commit 15fd943af50dbc5f7f4de33835795c72595f7bf4 upstream.

When inbound messages arrive, rpmsg core looks up their associated
endpoint (by destination address) and then invokes their callback.

We've made sure that endpoints will never be de-allocated after they
were found by rpmsg core, but we also need to protect against the
(rare) scenario where the rpmsg driver was just removed, and its
callback function isn't available anymore.

This is achieved by introducing a callback mutex, which must be taken
before the callback is invoked, and, obviously, before it is removed.
