This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled staging: comedi: prevent auto-unconfig of manually to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Herton ------ From faeaaaa013aa861c6055f652960a7278a9d2e0fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@mev.co.uk> Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2012 15:59:55 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] staging: comedi: prevent auto-unconfig of manually configured devices commit 7d3135af399e92cf4c9bbc5f86b6c140aab3b88c upstream. When a low-level comedi driver auto-configures a device, a `struct comedi_dev_file_info` is allocated (as well as a `struct comedi_device`) by `comedi_alloc_board_minor()`. A pointer to the hardware `struct device` is stored as a cookie in the `struct comedi_dev_file_info`. When the low-level comedi driver auto-unconfigures the device, `comedi_auto_unconfig()` uses the cookie to find the `struct comedi_dev_file_info` so it can detach the comedi device from the driver, clean it up and free it. A problem arises if the user manually unconfigures and reconfigures the comedi device using the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl so that is no longer associated with the original hardware device. The problem is that the cookie is not cleared, so that a call to `comedi_auto_unconfig()` from the low-level driver will still find it, detach it, clean it up and free it. Stop this problem occurring by always clearing the `hardware_device` cookie in the `struct comedi_dev_file_info` whenever the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl call is successful.
