Dan Williams a371788d4f cxl/pmem: Fix nvdimm registration races 
commit f57aec443c upstream.

A loop of the form:

    while true; do modprobe cxl_pci; modprobe -r cxl_pci; done

...fails with the following crash signature:

    BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000040
    [..]
    RIP: 0010:cxl_internal_send_cmd+0x5/0xb0 [cxl_core]
    [..]
    Call Trace:

     nd_async_device_register+0xe/0x40 [libnvdimm]
     async_run_entry_fn+0x30/0x130

...namely that the bottom half of async nvdimm device registration runs
after the CXL has already torn down the context that cxl_pmem_ctl()
needs. Unlike the ACPI NFIT case that benefits from launching multiple
nvdimm device registrations in parallel from those listed in the table,
CXL is already marked PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS. So provide for a
synchronous registration path to preclude this scenario.

README 

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.
