Hi Alan, I am doing some stress testing on hidraw, if I have a loop with
HIDIOCGFEATURE on a given report and I disconnect the device while the
loop is running I get this:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028
IP: [<ffffffffa02c66b4>] hidraw_ioctl+0xfc/0x32c [hid]

Full log attached along with the test program, the device is a Sony PS3
Controller (sixaxis).

If my objdump analysis is right, hidraw_ioctl+0xfc should be around line
361 in hidraw.c (with your patch applied):

struct hid_device *hid = dev->hid;

It looks like 'dev' (which is hidraw_table[minor]) can be NULL
sometimes, can't it?
This is not introduced by your changes tho.

Just as a side note, the bug does not show up if the userspace program
handles return values properly and exits as soon as it gets an error
from the HID layer, see the XXX comment in test_hidraw_feature.c.

This fixes it, if it looks ok I will resend the patch rebased on
mainline code:

this change covers also the other uses of hidraw_table[minor] in
hidraw_send_report/hidraw_get_report.
