[PATCH] HID: rmi: Check that the RMI_STARTED bit is set before unregistering the RMI transport device

From: Andrew Duggan
Date: Tue Oct 22 2019 - 21:24:10 EST


In the event that the RMI device is unreachable, the calls to
rmi_set_mode() or rmi_set_page() will fail before registering the RMI
transport device. When the device is removed, rmi_remove() will call
rmi_unregister_transport_device() which will attempt to access the
rmi_dev pointer which was not set. This patch adds a check of the
RMI_STARTED bit before calling rmi_unregister_transport_device().
The RMI_STARTED bit is only set after rmi_register_transport_device()
completes successfully. A subsequent patch in the RMI core will add
checks to validate the pointers before accessing them.

The kernel oops was reported in this message:
