media: usbvision: Fix races among open, close, and disconnect
commit 9e08117c9d4efc1e1bc6fce83dab856d9fd284b6 upstream.
Visual inspection of the usbvision driver shows that it suffers from
three races between its open, close, and disconnect handlers. In
particular, the driver is careful to update its usbvision->user and
usbvision->remove_pending flags while holding the private mutex, but:
usbvision_v4l2_close() and usbvision_radio_close() don't hold
the mutex while they check the value of
usbvision->remove_pending;
usbvision_disconnect() doesn't hold the mutex while checking
the value of usbvision->user; and
also, usbvision_v4l2_open() and usbvision_radio_open() don't
check whether the device has been unplugged before allowing
the user to open the device files.
Each of these can potentially lead to usbvision_release() being called
twice and use-after-free errors.
This patch fixes the races by reading the flags while the mutex is
still held and checking for pending removes before allowing an open to
succeed.
