Subject: [PATCH] HID: roccat: fully initialize device before publishing to devices[]
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 16:44:26 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907224426.159104-1-skunkolee@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <6a9ccae4.37659fcc.e790.0006.GAE@google.com>
roccat_connect() published the new device into the global devices[]
array, then released devices_lock, before initializing readers_lock,
cbuf_lock, the wait queue, the readers list, or setting hid/exist/
cbuf_end/report_size on the device.
Since devices[] is checked (under devices_lock) by roccat_open() to
decide whether a device is available to open, a concurrent open()
racing against roccat_connect() could look up the device, then lock
readers_lock before mutex_init() has run on it, or read device->hid
while it is still NULL from kzalloc, once devices_lock is released
but before the remaining fields are set.
Move all initialization of the device's own private state ahead of
the point where it is inserted into devices[], so the object is fully
constructed before it becomes visible to any other reader.
