[PATCH v2 2/2] gpio: fix gpio-device list corruption

From: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-03-01 09:07:48
Also in: linux-gpio, lkml
Subsystem: gpio subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Linus Walleij, Bartosz Golaszewski, Linus Torvalds

Make sure to hold the gpio_lock when removing the gpio device from the
gpio_devices list (when dropping the last reference) to avoid corrupting
the list when there are concurrent accesses.

Fixes: ff2b13592299 ("gpio: make the gpiochip a real device")
