Re: [PATCH net v2] net: lapb: Add locking to the lapb module

In the lapb module, the timers may run concurrently with other code in
this module, and there is currently no locking to prevent the code from
racing on "struct lapb_cb". This patch adds locking to prevent racing.

1. Add "spinlock_t lock" to "struct lapb_cb"; Add "spin_lock_bh" and
"spin_unlock_bh" to APIs, timer functions and notifier functions.

2. Add "bool t1timer_stop, t2timer_stop" to "struct lapb_cb" to make us
able to ask running timers to abort; Modify "lapb_stop_t1timer" and
"lapb_stop_t2timer" to make them able to abort running timers;
Modify "lapb_t2timer_expiry" and "lapb_t1timer_expiry" to make them
abort after they are stopped by "lapb_stop_t1timer", "lapb_stop_t2timer",
and "lapb_start_t1timer", "lapb_start_t2timer".

3. In lapb_unregister, change "lapb_stop_t1timer" and "lapb_stop_t2timer"
to "del_timer_sync" to make sure all running timers have exited.

4. In lapb_device_event, replace the "lapb_disconnect_request" call with
the content of "lapb_disconnect_request", to avoid trying to hold the
lock twice. When I do this, I removed "lapb_start_t1timer" because I
don't think it's necessary to start the timer when "NETDEV_GOING_DOWN".

I don't like the code redundancy this creates. Maybe you should move the
actual functionality from lapb_disconnect_request() to a
__lapb_disconnect_request(), and in lapb_disconnect_request() call this
function including locking around it and also in lapb_device_event
(without locking).

Calling lapb_start_t1timer() on a "NETDEV_GOING_DOWN" event does not
hurt and is correct from a protocol flow point of view after sending
the DISC.
