[PATCH 1/6] USB: gadget: f_hid: move chardev setup to module init

From: John Keeping
Date: Thu Oct 24 2019 - 13:05:19 EST


Lifetime of the objects in the HID gadget is currently tied to the USB
function, which makes it very easy to trigger a use-after-free by
holding a file descriptor on the HID device after deleting the gadget.

As a first step towards fixing this, move the character device
allocation to module initialisation so that we don't have to worry about
when the allocation can be released after closing all of the open
handles on the device.
