commit 9de2c43acf upstream.
Apparently an application that opens a device and calls select()
on it, will hang if the decice is disconnected. It's a little
surprising that we had this bug for 15 years, but apparently
nobody ever uses select() with a printer: only write() and read(),
and those work fine. Well, you can also select() with a timeout.
The fix is modeled after devio.c. A few other drivers check the
condition first, then do not add the wait queue in case the
device is disconnected. We doubt that's completely race-free.
So, this patch adds the process first, then locks properly
and checks for the disconnect.

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.
