At the moment, in case of a surprise removal, the regular remove callback is invoked, exclusively. This works well, because mostly, the cleanup would be the same.
However, there's a race: imagine device removal was initiated by a user action, such as driver unbind, and it in turn initiated some cleanup and is now waiting for an interrupt from the device. If the device is now surprise-removed, that never arrives and the remove callback hangs forever. For example, this was reported for virtio-blk: 1. the graceful removal is ongoing in the remove() callback, where disk deletion del_gendisk() is ongoing, which waits for the requests +to complete, 2. Now few requests are yet to complete, and surprise removal started. At this point, virtio block driver will not get notified by the driver core layer, because it is likely serializing remove() happening by +user/driver unload and PCI hotplug driver-initiated device removal. So vblk driver doesn't know that device is removed, block layer is waiting for requests completions to arrive which it never gets. So del_gendisk() gets stuck. Drivers can artificially add timeouts to handle that, but it can be flaky. Instead, let's add a way for the driver to be notified about the disconnect. It can then do any necessary cleanup, knowing that the device is inactive. Since cleanups can take a long time, this takes an approach of a work struct that the driver initiates and enables on probe, and tears down on remove. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
