Subject: [PATCH] firewire: prevent userspace from accessing shut down devices

I almost forgot that we generally Cc LKML on patches.  So here is an -rc
fix candidate for LKML to see:

Date: Fri, 16 May 2008 11:15:23 -0400
From: Jay Fenlason <fenlason@...hat.com>

If userspace ignores the POLLERR bit from poll(), and only attempts to
read() the device when POLLIN is set, it can still make ioctl() calls on
a device that has been removed from the system.  The node_id and
generation returned by GET_INFO will be outdated, but INITIATE_BUS_RESET
would still cause a bus reset, and GET_CYCLE_TIMER will return data.

We now immediately fail open, ioctl, compat_ioctl, and mmap against
shutdown devices.
