Balance a hid_device_io_start() call with hid_device_io_stop() in the error path. This avoids processing of HID reports when the probe fails which possibly leads to invalid memory access in hid_device_probe() as report_enum->report_id_hash might already be freed via hid_close_report(). hid_set_drvdata() is called before wtp_allocate, be consistent and clear drvdata too on the error path of wtp_allocate. Signed-off-by: Peter Wu <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi Andrew, There are few users of hid_device_io_start/stop, this is the first one to get start/stop out of sync. Should the comment of hid_device_io_start() be updated to ensure that hid_device_io_stop() gets called before probe() returns? Or should the hid-core be changed to handle this out-of-sync issue: if (ret) { if (hdev->io_started)) down(&hdev->driver_input_lock); hid_close_report(hdev); hdev->driver = NULL; } Is my observation correct or not that HID reports can arrive during hid_close_report() when io_started == true?
