Subject: [patch] input: pcf8574_keypad: use after input_unregister_device()
Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2010 10:28:30 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101111062429.GA3610@bicker> (raw)
input_unregister_device() is tricky because it frees the argument. So
in the original code the call to input_set_drvdata(idev, NULL) is a use
after free bug. The other problem is the input_set_drvdata() makes the
input_free_device() into a no-op.
The prefered style in input/ is to make input_register_device() the
last function in the probe which can fail. That way we don't need to
call input_unregister_device().
