Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
gpio: mpsse: ensure worker is torn down<br />
<br />
When an IRQ worker is running, unplugging the device would cause a<br />
crash. The sealevel hardware this driver was written for was not<br />
hotpluggable, so I never realized it.<br />
<br />
This change uses a spinlock to protect a list of workers, which<br />
it tears down on disconnect.
