[ Upstream commit 422dc0a4d12d0b80dd3aab3fe5943f665ba8f041 ]
chaoskey_open() takes the lock only to increase the
counter of openings. That means that the mutual exclusion
with chaoskey_disconnect() cannot prevent an increase
of the counter and chaoskey_open() returning a success.
If that race is hit, chaoskey_disconnect() will happily
free all resources associated with the device after
it has dropped the lock, as it has read the counter
as zero.
To prevent this race chaoskey_open() has to check
the presence of the device under the lock.
However, the current per device lock cannot be used,
because it is a part of the data structure to be
freed. Hence an additional global mutex is needed.
The issue is as old as the driver.

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.
