commit 4ea5763fb79ed89b3bdad455ebf3f33416a81624 upstream. uhid has to run hid_add_device() from workqueue context while allowing parallel use of the userspace API (which is protected with ->devlock). But hid_add_device() can fail. Currently, that is handled by immediately destroying the associated HID device, without using ->devlock - but if there are concurrent requests from userspace, that's wrong and leads to NULL dereferences and/or memory corruption (via use-after-free). Fix it by leaving the HID device as-is in the worker. We can clean it up later, either in the UHID_DESTROY command handler or in the ->release() handler.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
