[PATCH v2 1/2] kunit: Make kunit_remove_resource() idempotent

From: David Gow
Date: Sat Apr 02 2022 - 00:35:55 EST


The kunit_remove_resource() function is used to unlink a resource from
the list of resources in the test, making it no longer show up in
kunit_find_resource().

However, this could lead to a race condition if two threads called
kunit_remove_resource() on the same resource at the same time: the
resource would be removed from the list twice (causing a crash at the
second list_del()), and the refcount for the resource would be
decremented twice (instead of once, for the reference held by the
resource list).

Fix both problems, the first by using list_del_init(), and the second by
checking if the resource has already been removed using list_empty(),
and only decrementing its refcount if it has not.

Also add a KUnit test for the kunit_remove_resource() function which
tests this behaviour.
