2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@xxxxxxxxxx> (commit fd9f26e4eca5d08a27d12c0933fceef76ed9663d upstream) A control that is visible on the card->controls list can be freed at any time. This means we must not access any of its memory while not holding the controls_rw_lock. Otherwise we risk a use after free access.
