<content type='text'>
Like other buses, devices on the netdevsim bus have a release callback
that is invoked when the reference count of the device drops to zero.
However, unlike other buses such as PCI, the release callback is not
necessarily built into the kernel, as netdevsim can be built as a
module.

The above is problematic as nothing prevents the module from being
unloaded before the release callback has been invoked, which can happen
asynchronously. One such example can be found in commit a380687200e0
("devlink: take device reference for devlink object") where devlink
calls put_device() from an RCU callback.

The issue is not theoretical and the reproducer in [1] can reliably
crash the kernel. The conclusion of this discussion was that the issue
should be solved in netdevsim, which is what this patch is trying to do.

Add a reference count that is increased when a device is added to the
bus and decreased when a device is released. Signal a completion when
the reference count drops to zero and wait for the completion when
unloading the module so that the module will not be unloaded before all
the devices were released. The reference count is initialized to one so
that completion is only signaled when unloading the module.

With this patch, the reproducer in [1] no longer crashes the kernel.

<title>driver core: bus: mark the struct bus_type for sysfs callbacks as constant</title>

struct bus_type should never be modified in a sysfs callback as there is
nothing in the structure to modify, and frankly, the structure is almost
never used in a sysfs callback, so mark it as constant to allow struct
bus_type to be moved to read-only memory.

Prepare for devlink reload being called with devlink-&gt;lock held and
convert the netdevsim driver to use unlocked devlink API during init and
fini flows. Take devl_lock() in reload_down() and reload_up() ops in the
meantime before reload cmd is converted to take the lock itself.

from nsim_dev_... to nsim_drv_... this makes the

max_vfs is a strange little beast because the file
hangs off of nsim's debugfs, but it configures a field
in the bus device. Move it to dev.c, let's look at it
as if the device driver was imposing VF limit based
on FW info (like pci_sriov_set_totalvfs()).

Again, when moving refactor the function not to hold
the vfs lock pointlessly while parsing the input.
Wrap the access from the read side in READ_ONCE()
to appease concurrency checkers. Do not check if
return value from snprintf() is negative...

Since "eswitch" configuration was added bus.c contains
a lot of device details which really belong to dev.c.

Restructure the code while moving it.

When netdevsim got split into the faux bus vfconfig ended
up in the bus device (think pci_dev) which is strange because
it contains very networky not to say netdevy information.
Move it to nsim_dev, which is the driver "priv" structure
for the device.

To make sure we don't race with probe/remove take
the device lock (much like PCI).

While at it remove the NULL-checking of vfconfigs.
It appears to be pointless.

<title>netdevsim: take rtnl_lock when assigning num_vfs</title>

Legacy VF NDOs look at num_vfs and then based on that
index into vfconfig. If we don't rtnl_lock() num_vfs
may get set to 0 and vfconfig freed/replaced while
the NDO is running.

We don't need to protect replacing vfconfig since it's
only done when num_vfs is 0.

  These do change a number of different things across different

  might have already come into your tree from different pulls that did
  the following

   - changed the bus remove callback to return void

   - sysfs iomem_get_mapping rework

  Other than those two things, there's only a few small things in here:

   - kernfs performance improvements for huge numbers of sysfs users at
     once

   - tiny api cleanups

   - other minor changes

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
