commit ca499fc87ed945094d952da0eb7eea7dbeb1feec upstream.

The PCI host bridge scan handler installs its own notify handler,
handle_hotplug_event_root(), by itself.  Nevertheless, the ACPI
hotplug framework also installs the common notify handler,
acpi_hotplug_notify_cb(), for PCI root bridges.  This causes
acpi_hotplug_notify_cb() to call _OST method with unsupported
error as hotplug.enabled is not set.

To address this issue, introduce hotplug.ignore flag, which
indicates that the scan handler installs its own notify handler by
itself.  The ACPI hotplug framework does not install the common
notify handler when this flag is set.

<title>ACPI / hotplug: Do not execute "insert in progress" _OST</title>

commit 176a88d79d6b5aebabaff16734e8b3107efcaaad upstream.

According to the ACPI spec (5.0, Section 6.3.5), the "Device
insertion in progress (pending)" (0x80) _OST status code is
reserved for the "Insertion Processing" (0x200) source event
which is "a result of an OSPM action".  Specifically, it is not
a notification, so that status code should not be used during
notification processing, which unfortunately is done by
acpi_scan_bus_device_check().

For this reason, drop the ACPI_OST_SC_INSERT_IN_PROGRESS _OST
status evaluation from there (it was a mistake to put it in there
in the first place).

Two functions defined in device_pm.c, acpi_dev_pm_add_dependent()
and acpi_dev_pm_remove_dependent(), have no callers and may be
dropped, so drop them.

Moreover, they are the only functions adding entries to and removing
entries from the power_dependent list in struct acpi_device, so drop
that list too.

Commit caf5c03f (ACPI: Move acpi_bus_get_device() from bus.c to
scan.c) caused acpi_bus_get_device() to be exported using
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), but that broke some binary drivers in
existence, so revert that change.

Change the ordering of device hotplug locks in scan.c so that
acpi_scan_lock is always acquired after device_hotplug_lock.

This will make it possible to use device_hotplug_lock around some
code paths that acquire acpi_scan_lock safely (most importantly
system suspend and hibernation).  Apart from that, acpi_scan_lock
is platform-specific and device_hotplug_lock is general, so the
new ordering appears to be more appropriate from the overall
design viewpoint.

<id>f943db40c29f3c82a56956e9ca36f21d6d855db9</id>
<content type='text'>
The current protocol for handling hot remove of containers is very
fragile and causes acpi_eject_store() to acquire acpi_scan_lock
which may deadlock with the removal of the device that it is called
for (the reason is that device sysfs attributes cannot be removed
while their callbacks are being executed and ACPI device objects
are removed under acpi_scan_lock).

The problem is related to the fact that containers are handled by
acpi_bus_device_eject() in a special way, which is to emit an
offline uevent instead of just removing the container.  Then, user
space is expected to handle that uevent and use the container's
"eject" attribute to actually remove it.  That is fragile, because
user space may fail to complete the ejection (for example, by not
using the container's "eject" attribute at all) leaving the BIOS
kind of in a limbo.  Moreover, if the eject event is not signaled
for a container itself, but for its parent device object (or
generally, for an ancestor above it in the ACPI namespace), the
container will be removed straight away without doing that whole
dance.

For this reason, modify acpi_bus_device_eject() to remove containers
synchronously like any other objects (user space will get its uevent
anyway in case it does some other things in response to it) and
remove the eject_pending ACPI device flag that is not used any more.
This way acpi_eject_store() doesn't have a reason to acquire
acpi_scan_lock any more and one possible deadlock scenario goes
away (plus the code is simplified a bit).
