-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. --------------------- From: Jiri Kosina USB HID: hiddev - fix race between hiddev_send_event() and hiddev_release() There is a small race window in which hiddev_release() could corrupt the list that is being processed for new event in hiddev_send_event(). Synchronize the operations over this list.
