From 96fe2ab830d7dffee1b3d8abf27ced4d7d5765e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Weiner Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2009 22:44:01 +0100 Subject: HID: fix waitqueue usage in hiddev DECLARE_WAITQUEUE doesn't initialize the wait descriptor's task_list to 'empty' but to zero. prepare_to_wait() will not enqueue the descriptor to the waitqueue and finish_wait() will do list_del_init() on a list head that contains NULL pointers, which oopses. This was introduced by 079034073 "HID: hiddev cleanup -- handle all error conditions properly". The prior code used an unconditional add_to_waitqueue() which didn't care about the wait descriptor's list head and enqueued the thing unconditionally. The new code uses prepare_to_wait() which DOES check the prior list state, so use DEFINE_WAIT instead.
