Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] i2c: dev: don't allow user-space to deadlock the kernel

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@...aro.org>

If we open an i2c character device and then unbind the underlying i2c
adapter (either by unbinding it manually via sysfs or - for a real-life
example - when unplugging a USB device with an i2c adaper), the kernel
thread calling i2c_del_adapter() will become blocked waiting for the
completion that only completes once all references to the character
device get dropped.

In order to fix that, we introduce a couple changes. They need to be
part of a single commit in order to preserve bisectability. First, drop
the dev_release completion. That removes the risk of a deadlock but
we now need to protect the character device structures against NULL
pointer dereferences. To that end introduce an rw semaphore. It will
protect the dummy i2c_client structure against dropping the adapter from
under it. It will be taken for reading by all file_operations callbacks
and for writing by the notifier's unbind handler. This way we don't
prohibit the syscalls that don't get in each other's way from running
concurrently but the adapter will not be unbound before all syscalls
return.

Finally: upon being notified about an unbind event for the i2c adapter,
we take the lock for writing and set the adapter pointer in the character
device's structure to NULL. This "numbs down" the device - it still exists
but is no longer functional. Meanwhile every syscall callback checks that
pointer after taking the lock but before executing any code that requires
it. If it's NULL, we return an error to user-space.

This way we can safely open an i2c device from user-space, unbind the
device without triggering a deadlock and any subsequent system-call for
the file descriptor associated with the removed adapter will gracefully
fail.
