I got a deadloop report while doing device(ds2482) add/remove test:
[ 162.241881] w1_master_driver w1_bus_master1: Waiting for w1_bus_master1 to become free: refcnt=1.
[ 163.272251] w1_master_driver w1_bus_master1: Waiting for w1_bus_master1 to become free: refcnt=1.
[ 164.296157] w1_master_driver w1_bus_master1: Waiting for w1_bus_master1 to become free: refcnt=1.
...
__w1_remove_master_device() can't return, because the dev->refcnt is not zero.
w1_add_master_device() |
w1_alloc_dev() |
atomic_set(&dev->refcnt, 2) |
kthread_run() |
|__w1_remove_master_device()
| kthread_stop()
// KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP is set, |
// threadfn(w1_process) won't be |
// called. |
kthread() |
| // refcnt will never be 0, it's deadloop.
| while (atomic_read(&dev->refcnt)) {...}
After calling w1_add_master_device(), w1_process() is not really
invoked, before w1_process() starting, if kthread_stop() is called
in __w1_remove_master_device(), w1_process() will never be called,
the refcnt can not be decreased, then it causes deadloop in remove
function because of non-zero refcnt.
We need to make sure w1_process() is really started, so move the
set refcnt into w1_process() to fix this problem.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
