commit 4e9c93af7279b059faf5bb1897ee90512b258a12 upstream. Fuzzing uncovered race condition between sysfs code paths in usbip drivers. Device connect/disconnect code paths initiated through sysfs interface are prone to races if disconnect happens during connect and vice versa. This problem is common to all drivers while it can be reproduced easily in vhci_hcd. Add a sysfs_lock to usbip_device struct to protect the paths. Use this in vhci_hcd to protect sysfs paths. For a complete fix, usip_host and usip-vudc drivers and the event handler will have to use this lock to protect the paths. These changes will be done in subsequent patches.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
