+Subject: driver core: fix potential NULL pointer dereference in dev_uevent()
+
+From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com>
+
+commit 18daa52418e7e4629ed1703b64777294209d2622 upstream.
+
+If userspace reads "uevent" device attribute at the same time as another
+threads unbinds the device from its driver, change to dev->driver from a
+valid pointer to NULL may result in crash. Fix this by using READ_ONCE()
+when fetching the pointer, and take bus' drivers klist lock to make sure
+driver instance will not disappear while we access it.
+
+Use WRITE_ONCE() when setting the driver pointer to ensure there is no
+tearing.

+Subject: driver core: introduce device_set_driver() helper
+
+From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com>
+
+commit 04d3e5461c1f5cf8eec964ab64948ebed826e95e upstream.
+
+In preparation to closing a race when reading driver pointer in
+dev_uevent() code, instead of setting device->driver pointer directly
+introduce device_set_driver() helper.

+Subject: Revert "drivers: core: synchronize really_probe() and dev_uevent()"
+
+From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com>
+
+commit dc1771f718548f7d4b93991b174c6e7b5e1ba410 upstream.
+
+This reverts commit c0a40097f0bc81deafc15f9195d1fb54595cd6d0.
+
+Probing a device can take arbitrary long time. In the field we observed
+that, for example, probing a bad micro-SD cards in an external USB card
+reader (or maybe cards were good but cables were flaky) sometimes takes
+longer than 2 minutes due to multiple retries at various levels of the
+stack. We can not block uevent_show() method for that long because udev
+is reading that attribute very often and that blocks udev and interferes
+with booting of the system.
+
+The change that introduced locking was concerned with dev_uevent()
+racing with unbinding the driver. However we can handle it without
+locking (which will be done in subsequent patch).
+
+There was also claim that synchronization with probe() is needed to
+properly load USB drivers, however this is a red herring: the change
+adding the lock was introduced in May of last year and USB loading and
+probing worked properly for many years before that.
+
+Revert the harmful locking.
