Marc Zyngier 9791ec7df0 irqchip/gic-v3-its: Plug allocation race for devices sharing a DevID
On systems or VMs where multiple devices share a single DevID
(because they sit behind a PCI bridge, or because the HW is
broken in funky ways), we reuse the save its_device structure
in order to reflect this.

It turns out that there is a distinct lack of locking when looking
up the its_device, and two device being probed concurrently can result
in double allocations. That's obviously not nice.

A solution for this is to have a per-ITS mutex that serializes device
allocation.

A similar issue exists on the freeing side, which can run concurrently
with the allocation. On top of now taking the appropriate lock, we
also make sure that a shared device is never freed, as we have no way
to currently track the life cycle of such object.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
