- [High] hid: wacom: Use-After-Free due to sibling worker restarting hardware during remove

commit d345d10fbdd75c5608a4db1f5c93eaec7ccc124e
Author: Jinmo Yang <jinmo44.yang@gmail.com>
Subject: HID: wacom: serialize mode changes with device removal
This commit adds a driver-wide wacom_mode_change_lock mutex to serialize
mode-change workers with wacom_remove(). The goal is to prevent a sibling
device's mode-change worker from accessing a removed device's struct wacom
after it has been freed.
Fixes: 4082da80f46a ("HID: wacom: generic: add mode change touch key")

[Severity: High]
If a sibling worker is running concurrently with wacom_remove(), could this
double-stop the hardware of the device being removed?

[Severity: High]
Could the sibling worker restart the hardware via wacom_parse_and_register()
(which calls hid_hw_start()) here, while wacom_remove() is blocked waiting
on the wacom_mode_change_lock?

[Severity: High]
Since wacom_remove() executes teardown steps like hid_hw_stop() before
acquiring the lock, and only cancels its own worker, could a sibling's
worker continue running and bypass these teardown steps?

[Severity: High]
If the sibling's worker restarted the hardware via wacom_parse_and_register(),
wacom_remove() returns here without calling hid_hw_stop() again.
Will this leave the device's hidraw nodes active and registered after the
driver is unbound, leading to a Use-After-Free of struct wacom when accessed
by userspace?
