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.")

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
