This patch straightens out some locking issues in the USB sysfs interface: Deauthorization will destroy existing configurations. Attributes that read from udev->actconfig need to lock the device to prevent races. Likewise for the rawdescriptor values. Attributes that access an interface's current alternate setting should use ACCESS_ONCE() to obtain the cur_altsetting pointer, to protect against concurrent altsetting changes. The supports_autosuspend() attribute routine accesses values from an interface's driver, so it should lock the interface (rather than the usb_device) to protect against concurrent unbinds. Once this is done, the routine can be simplified considerably. Scalar values that are stored directly in the usb_device structure are always available. They do not require any locking. The same is true of the cached interface string descriptor, because it is not deallocated until the usb_host_interface structure is destroyed.
