[PATCH] usb: core: sysfs: add lock to bos_descriptors_read()

From: Griffin Kroah-Hartman

Date: Wed Jul 15 2026 - 11:17:52 EST


Add a lock to the function bos_descriptors_read().

This function accesses udev->bos, which could be simultaneously freed in
usb_reset_and_verify_device(), a function that is commonly called in
drivers all over the kernel.
