3.16.79-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit edc4746f253d907d048de680a621e121517f484b upstream. A recent fix addressing a deadlock on disconnect introduced a new bug by moving the present flag out of the critical section protected by the driver-data mutex. This could lead to a racing release() freeing the driver data before disconnect() is done with it. Due to insufficient locking a related use-after-free could be triggered also before the above mentioned commit. Specifically, the driver needs to hold the driver-data mutex also while checking the opened flag at disconnect(). Fixes: c468a8aa790e ("usb: iowarrior: fix deadlock on disconnect") Fixes: 946b960d13c1 ("USB: add driver for iowarrior devices.")
