[PATCH] [media] dvbdev: add a mutex protecting the "mdev" pointer

From: Max Kellermann
Date: Thu May 03 2018 - 14:21:23 EST


During destruction, a race condition in
dvb_media_controller_disable_source() can cause a kernel crash,
because the "mdev" pointer has been read successfully while another
task executes dvb_usb_media_device_unregister(), which destroys the
object. Example for such a crash:
