3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit ad608fbcf166fec809e402d548761768f602702c upstream. The event subscriptions are added to the subscribed event list while holding a spinlock, but that lock is subsequently released while still accessing the subscription object. This makes it possible to unsubscribe the event --- and freeing the subscription object's memory --- while the subscription object is simultaneously accessed. Prevent this by adding a mutex to serialise the event subscription and unsubscription. This also gives a guarantee to the callback ops that the add op has returned before the del op is called. This change also results in making the elems field less special: subscriptions are only added to the event list once they are fully initialised.
