Finally (phew!) this patch demonstrates how to adapt the adm1026 to
take advantage of the new callbacks, and the i2c-sysfs.h defined
structure/macros. Most of the other sensor/hwmon drivers could be
updated in the same way. The odd few exceptions (bmcsensors for
example) however might be better off with their own custom attribute
structure.

This adds a generic function 'unregister_node()'.
It is used to remove objects of a node going away
for hotplug. All the devices on the node must be
unregistered before calling this function.

This patch is intended for your "driver" tree. It fixes several subtle
races in driver_detach() and device_release_driver() in the driver-model
core.
The major change is to use klist_remove() rather than klist_del() when
taking a device off its driver's list. There's no other way to guarantee
that the list pointers will be updated before some other driver binds to
the device. For this to work driver_detach() can't use a klist iterator,
so the loop over the devices must be written out in full. In addition the
patch protects against the possibility that, when a driver and a device
are unregistered at the same time, one may be unloaded from memory before
the other is finished using it.

The original code looks like this:
/* if interface was already added, bind now; else let
* the future device_add() bind it, bypassing probe()
*/
if (!list_empty (&dev->bus_list))
device_bind_driver(dev);
IOW, it's checking to see if the device is attached to the bus or not
and binding the driver if it is. It's checking the device's bus list,
which will only appear empty when the device has been initialized, but
not added. It depends way too much on the driver model internals, but it
seems to be the only way to do the weird crap they want to do with
interfaces.
When I converted it to use klists, I accidentally inverted the logic,
which led to bad things happening. This patch returns the check to its
orginal value.

There's no check to see if the device is already bound to a driver, which
could do bad things. The first thing to go wrong is that it will try to match
a driver with a device already bound to one. In some cases (it appears with
USB with drivers/usb/core/usb.c::usb_match_id()), some drivers will match a
device based on the class type, so it would be common (especially for HID
devices) to match a device that is already bound.
The fun comes when ->probe() is called, it fails, then
driver_probe_device() does this:
dev->driver = NULL;
Later on, that pointer could be be dereferenced without checking and cause
hell to break loose.
This problem could be nasty. It's very hardware dependent, since some
devices could have a different set of matching qualifiers than others.
Now, I don't quite see exactly where/how you were getting that crash.
You're dereferencing bad memory, but I'm not sure which pointer was bad
and where it came from, but it could have come from a couple of different
places.
The patch below will hopefully fix it all up for you. It's against
2.6.12-rc2-mm1, and does the following:
- Move logic to driver_probe_device() and comments uncommon returns:
1 - If device is bound
0 - If device not bound, and no error
error - If there was an error.
- Move locking to caller of that function, since we want to lock a
device for the entire time we're trying to bind it to a driver (to
prevent against a driver being loaded at the same time).
- Update __device_attach() and __driver_attach() to do that locking.
- Check if device is already bound in __driver_attach()
- Update the converse device_release_driver() so it locks the device
around all of the operations.
- Mark driver_probe_device() as static and remove export. It's an
internal function, it should stay that way, and there are no other
callers. If there is ever a need to export it, we can audit it as
necessary.

Thanks for making the changes. However, changes in functions:
void pcie_port_device_remove(struct pci_dev *dev) and
static int remove_iter(struct device *dev, void *data)
are not correct. Please use the patch, which is based on kernel
2.6.12-rc1, below for a fix for these.

This relocates the driver binding/unbinding code to drivers/base/dd.c. This is done
for two reasons: One, it's not code related to the bus_type itself; it uses some from
that, some from devices, and some from drivers. And Two, it will make it easier to do
some of the upcoming lock removal on that code..

This adds a per-device semaphore that is taken before every call from the core to a
driver method. This prevents e.g. simultaneous calls to the ->suspend() or ->resume()
and ->probe() or ->release(), potentially saving a whole lot of headaches.
It also moves us a step closer to removing the bus rwsem, since it protects the fields
in struct device that are modified by the core.
