gpiolib: protect the GPIO device against being dropped while in use by user-space
While any of the GPIO cdev syscalls is in progress, the kernel can call gpiochip_remove() (for instance, when a USB GPIO expander is disconnected) which will set gdev->chip to NULL after which any subsequent access will cause a crash. To avoid that: use an RW-semaphore in which the syscalls take it for reading (so that we don't needlessly prohibit the user-space from calling syscalls simultaneously) while gpiochip_remove() takes it for writing so that it can only happen once all syscalls return. Fixes: d7c51b47ac11 ("gpio: userspace ABI for reading/writing GPIO lines") Fixes: 3c0d9c635ae2 ("gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_GET_LINE_IOCTL and GPIO_V2_LINE_GET_VALUES_IOCTL") Fixes: aad955842d1c ("gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_GET_LINEINFO_IOCTL and GPIO_V2_GET_LINEINFO_WATCH_IOCTL") Fixes: a54756cb24ea ("gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_LINE_SET_CONFIG_IOCTL") Fixes: 7b8e00d98168 ("gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_LINE_SET_VALUES_IOCTL") Signed-off-by: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org> [Nick: fixed a build failure with CDEV_V1 disabled] Co-authored-by: Nick Hainke <vincent@systemli.org> Reviewed-by: Kent Gibson <warthog618@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
