There is a race window in device_shutdown(), which may cause
-1. parent device shut down before child or
-2. no shutdown on a new probing device.
For 1st, taking the following scenario:
device_shutdown new plugin device
list_del_init(parent_dev);
spin_unlock(list_lock);
device_add(child)
probe child
shutdown parent_dev
--> now child is on the tail of devices_kset
For 2nd, taking the following scenario:
device_shutdown new plugin device
device_add(dev)
device_lock(dev);
...
device_unlock(dev);
probe dev
--> now, the new occurred dev has no opportunity to shutdown
To fix this race issue, just prevent the new probing request. With this
logic, device_shutdown() is more similar to dpm_prepare().

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
