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.
