commit ad608fbcf166fec809e402d548761768f602702c upstream. The event subscriptions are added to the subscribed event list while holding a spinlock, but that lock is subsequently released while still accessing the subscription object. This makes it possible to unsubscribe the event --- and freeing the subscription object's memory --- while the subscription object is simultaneously accessed. Prevent this by adding a mutex to serialise the event subscription and unsubscription. This also gives a guarantee to the callback ops that the add op has returned before the del op is called. This change also results in making the elems field less special: subscriptions are only added to the event list once they are fully initialised.

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.
