Subject: [PATCH] HID: roccat: fix device lifetime during disconnect
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 14:05:11 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806060512.1664-1-getshell@seu.edu.cn> (raw)
roccat_disconnect() drops devices_lock after loading the device pointer. A
concurrent release of the last reader can then free the device before
disconnect continues to access it. Release also looks the device up by
minor, so closing a file after disconnect either leaks its reader when the
slot is NULL or operates on a replacement device if the minor was reused.
Keep devices_lock held while disconnect marks and removes the device, and
have release use the device retained by its reader. The open count then
keeps a disconnected device alive until the final file is released.
Fixes: 206f5f2fcb5f ("HID: roccat: propagate special events of roccat hardware to userspace")
