HID: hiddev: Fix race in in hiddev_disconnect()
Syzbot reports that "hiddev" is used after it's free in hiddev_disconnect(). The hiddev_disconnect() function sets "hiddev->exist = 0;" so hiddev_release() can free it as soon as we drop the "existancelock" lock. This patch moves the mutex_unlock(&hiddev->existancelock) until after we have finished using it. Reported-by: syzbot+784ccb935f9900cc7c9e@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Fixes: 7f77897 ("HID: hiddev: fix potential use-after-free") Suggested-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
