HID: hidraw: Add spinlock in struct hidraw to protect list
It is unsafe to call list_for_each_entry in hidraw_report_event to traverse each hidraw_list node without a lock protection, the list could be modified if someone calls hidraw_release and list_del to remove itself from the list, this can cause hidraw_report_event to touch a deleted list struct and panic. To prevent this, introduce a spinlock in struct hidraw to protect list from concurrent access. Signed-off-by: Yonghua Zheng <younghua.zheng@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
