USB: chaoskey: fail open after removal
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.
