commit 80ba43e9f799cbdd83842fc27db667289b3150f5 upstream.
Among the attribute file callback routines in
drivers/usb/core/sysfs.c, the interface_authorized_store() function is
the only one which acquires a device lock on an ancestor device: It
calls usb_deauthorize_interface(), which locks the interface's parent
USB device.
The will lead to deadlock if another process already owns that lock
and tries to remove the interface, whether through a configuration
change or because the device has been disconnected. As part of the
removal procedure, device_del() waits for all ongoing sysfs attribute
callbacks to complete. But usb_deauthorize_interface() can't complete
until the device lock has been released, and the lock won't be
released until the removal has finished.
The mechanism provided by sysfs to prevent this kind of deadlock is
to use the sysfs_break_active_protection() function, which tells sysfs
not to wait for the attribute callback.

[ Upstream commit 70f400d4d957c2453c8689552ff212bc59f88938 ]
Move the "removable" attribute from USB to core in order to allow it to be
supported by other subsystem / buses. Individual buses that want to support
this attribute can populate the removable property of the device while
enumerating it with the 3 possible values -
- "unknown"
- "fixed"
- "removable"
Leaving the field unchanged (i.e. "not supported") would mean that the
attribute would not show up in sysfs for that device. The UAPI (location,
symantics etc) for the attribute remains unchanged.
Move the "removable" attribute from USB to the device core so it can be
used by other subsystems / buses.
By default, devices do not have a "removable" attribute in sysfs.
If a subsystem or bus driver wants to support a "removable" attribute, it
should call device_set_removable() before calling device_register() or
device_add(), e.g.:
device_set_removable(dev, DEVICE_REMOVABLE);
device_register(dev);
The possible values and the resulting sysfs attribute contents are:
DEVICE_REMOVABLE_UNKNOWN -> "unknown"
DEVICE_REMOVABLE -> "removable"
DEVICE_FIXED -> "fixed"
Convert the USB "removable" attribute to use this new device core
functionality. There should be no user-visible change in the location or
semantics of attribute for USB devices.
