Sinan,
I explained the reason why locks don't protect this case in the patch description part.
Write side and read side hold different semaphore and mutex.

Thanks,
Ethan

This looks like a hack TBH.

Lukas, Keith;

What is your take on this?
Why is device lock not protecting this situation?

Is there a lock missing in hotplug driver?
