Subject: [BUG] hidraw.c: double mutex_lock
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2009 13:11:49 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1255353109.13239.0@pamir> (raw)
KERNEL_VERSION: 2.6.31
DESCRIBE:
In driver ./drivers/hid/hidraw.c in function hidraw_read may be
double mutex_lock:
Path:
1. line 50: begin first iteration of "while(ret==0)"
2. line 52: first call to mutex_lock
3. inner loop "while (list->head == list->tail)" does not change state
of mutex, because mutex_lock immediatelly follows mutex_unlock
4. if we go to the second iteration of "while(ret == 0)" in
line 50 then there are second call to mutex_lock in line 52 (mutex
aquired twice).
Second iteration of loop "while(ret==0)" is possible if local variable
ret is not changed at line 94: ret+=len - i.e. len==0;
Variable len may be zero if hidraw_read is called with count==0 or
list->buffer[list->tail].len == 0.

size_t count, loff_t *ppos)
