In roccat_disconnect(), per-device 'exist' status flag is cleared
with 'devices_lock' locked but both roccat_read() and roccat_poll()
checks this flag unlocked. To avoid data races, convert the flag
to atomic_t and introduce the convenient roccat_device_available()
wrapper.

Use kref to manage 'struct roccat_device' instances and fix both memory
leaks and UaF-triggering races between roccat_open()/roccat_release()
and roccat_connect()/roccat_disconnect() pairs. To avoid the scenario
when opened device is disconnected and its slot indexed by minor number
is reused by another device, release the slot in roccat_free_device()
rather than in roccat_disconnect(). This way, there is a time frame when
disconnected device may still occupy the slot; to reject such a device,
add extra roccat_device_available() checks to roccat_open() and
roccat_ioctl(). Add extra WARN_ON() device check to roccat_disconnect()
and a few debugging quirks to roccat_free_device() as well.

Since roccat_read() and roccat_report_event() uses per-device report
buffer holding 'cbuf_lock', fix roccat_poll() to do the same to avoid
race against them. Check for an actual device presense with recently
introduced roccat_device_available() before doing actuall poll as well.

HID: roccat: avoid unlocked report buffer access in roccat_poll()
This commit acquires cbuf_lock when checking the per-device report buffer
indices in roccat_poll() and moves the roccat_device_available() check
before poll_wait().

[Severity: High]
Can moving the roccat_device_available() check before poll_wait() without
re-checking it afterwards cause a lost wakeup on disconnect?
If roccat_disconnect() runs on another CPU after roccat_device_available()
returns true and before poll_wait() adds the caller to reader->device->wait:
drivers/hid/hid-roccat.c:roccat_disconnect() {
...
if (!WARN_ON(!atomic_cmpxchg(&device->exist, 1, 0)))
device_destroy(device->dev->class, MKDEV(roccat_major, minor));
if (device->open) {
hid_hw_close(device->hid);
wake_up_interruptible(&device->wait);
}
...
}
the disconnect wakeup fires before the task is on the waitqueue.
roccat_poll() then registers on reader->device->wait, sees an empty buffer
(avail == false), and returns 0, leaving poll(), select(), or epoll_wait()
sleeping indefinitely on the disconnected device.
Also, in roccat_read(), unread events in the circular buffer are drained
before disconnect is reported:
drivers/hid/hid-roccat.c:roccat_read() {
...
/* no data? */
if (reader->cbuf_start == device->cbuf_end) {
add_wait_queue(&device->wait, &wait);
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
/* wait for data */
while (reader->cbuf_start == device->cbuf_end) {
...
if (!roccat_device_available(device)) {
retval = -EIO;
break;
}
...
}
When roccat_device_available() is checked before reader->cbuf_start !=
reader->device->cbuf_end, doesn't roccat_poll() return EPOLLERR | EPOLLHUP
without EPOLLIN | EPOLLRDNORM even when unread reports remain in the
circular buffer?
Should poll_wait() remain at the start of roccat_poll(), followed by checking
both the circular buffer under cbuf_lock and roccat_device_available()?
