usb: misc: onboard_hub: Move 'attach' work to the driver
Currently each onboard_hub platform device owns an 'attach' work,
which is scheduled when the device probes. With this deadlocks
have been reported on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ [1], which has nested
onboard hubs.
The flow of the deadlock is something like this (with the onboard_hub
driver built as a module) [2]:
- USB root hub is instantiated
- core hub driver calls onboard_hub_create_pdevs(), which creates the
'raw' platform device for the 1st level hub
- 1st level hub is probed by the core hub driver
- core hub driver calls onboard_hub_create_pdevs(), which creates
the 'raw' platform device for the 2nd level hub
- onboard_hub platform driver is registered
- platform device for 1st level hub is probed
- schedules 'attach' work
- platform device for 2nd level hub is probed
- schedules 'attach' work
- onboard_hub USB driver is registered
- device (and parent) lock of hub is held while the device is
re-probed with the onboard_hub driver
- 'attach' work (running in another thread) calls driver_attach(), which
blocks on one of the hub device locks
- onboard_hub_destroy_pdevs() is called by the core hub driver when one
of the hubs is detached
- destroying the pdevs invokes onboard_hub_remove(), which waits for the
'attach' work to complete
- waits forever, since the 'attach' work can't acquire the device lock
Use a single work struct for the driver instead of having a work struct
per onboard hub platform driver instance. With that it isn't necessary
to cancel the work in onboard_hub_remove(), which fixes the deadlock.
The work is only cancelled when the driver is unloaded.
