      HID: Fix race between disconnect and hiddev_ioctl · 1a8e8fab
      Valentine Barshak authored
      A USB HID device can be disconnected at any time.
      If this happens right before or while hiddev_ioctl is in progress,
      the hiddev_ioctl tries to access invalid hiddev->hid pointer.
      When the hid device is disconnected, the hiddev_disconnect()
      ends up with a call to hid_device_release() which frees
      hid_device, but doesn't set the hiddev->hid pointer to NULL.
      If the deallocated memory region has been re-used by the kernel,
      this can cause a crash or memory corruption.
      
      Since disconnect can happen at any time, we can't initialize
      struct hid_device *hid = hiddev->hid at the beginning of ioctl
      and then use it.
      
      This change checks hiddev->exist flag while holding
      the existancelock and uses hid_device only if it exists.
