Using the mtty mdev sample driver we can generate a remove race by starting one shell that continuously creates mtty devices and several other shells all attempting to remove devices, in my case four remove shells. The fault occurs in mdev_remove_sysfs_files() where the passed type arg is NULL, which suggests we've received a struct device in mdev_device_remove() but it's in some sort of teardown state. The solution here is to make use of the accidentally unused list_head on the mdev_device such that the mdev core keeps a list of all the mdev devices. This allows us to validate that we have a valid mdev before we start removal, remove it from the list to prevent others from working on it, and if the vendor driver refuses to remove, we can re-add it to the list.
