Hi Peter, The patch I posted was solving slab memory corruption issue which was occurring because of the race in device disconnect and device release. We found the some of the device data structure being used after free. Later we figure out the patch which was reverted earlier was solving our issue but there was still some slab memory corruption. That was due to reason that list delete of the device was called after freeing the hidraw. I protect drop_ref by mutex lock and also delete the list before calling drop_ref that solve the issue. If you are seeing memory corruption then the patch could solve your issue.
