[PATCH 1/2] HID: hidraw, fix a NULL pointer dereference in hidraw_ioctl

[Antonio Ospite <ospite@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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

This is reproducible by disconnecting the device while userspace does
ioctl in a loop and doesn't check return values in order to exit the
loop, like in the following test program:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	int fd = -1;
	unsigned char name[256];
	int ret;

	if (argc != 2) {
		fprintf(stderr, "usage: %s </dev/hidrawX>\n", argv[0]);
		exit(1);
	}

	fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR);
	if (fd < 0) {
		perror("hidraw open");
		exit(1);
	}

	while (1) {
		ret = ioctl(fd, HIDIOCGRAWNAME(256), name);
		printf("ret: %d name: %s\n", ret, name);
	}

	close(fd);
	exit(0);
}
