Subject: [PATCH] HID: wacom: Prevent potential null dereference after disconnect

Repeated connect/disconnect cycles under GNOME can trigger an occasional
OOPS from within e.g. wacom_led_select_store, presumably due to a timing
issue where userspace begins setting a value immediately before the
device disconnects and our shared data is whisked away.

Strong NAK. If device could disappear before this check it could as well
disappear after your check.

This patch does not solve anything.

I assume I'll want to either disable interrupts or take a lock
depending on if `wacom_remove` is called from within the interrupt
context, but I haven't had to deal with concurrency in the kernel
before so I'm not entirely sure which option (or which primitive if
locking) would be appropriate...

Actually the sysfs core should not allow anyone descend into sysfs
show/store methods once you return from sysfs_remove*(). So you need to
make sure that pointer is valid until then.

Thanks.

Hmm. That's odd. The `wacom_remove` function calls
`wacom_destroy_leds` (which is responsible for removing those sysfs
nodes) prior to calling `wacom_remove_shared_data` (which is
responsible for freeing that pointer). I could imagine that a
disconnect which occurred after the sysfs checks were satisfied but
before our function was called would be able to get around that, but I
don't know if the kernel can be interrupted while the sysfs write is
being handled. I'll double-check what the actual state of things is
when the OOPS happens...
