Re: [Bug 8535] USB input death then system freeze

[Alan Stern]

Tejun:

Please take a look at comment #50 in Bugzilla 8535:

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8535#c50

There have been several reports like this one recently of BUGs
occurring in release_sysfs_dirent() during device unregistration.  
Obviously a use-after-free issue, probably caused by a refcounting 
error.

Is there already a patch available to fix it?

Thanks,

Alan Stern
