[PATCH] ACPI: EC: Reference count query handlers under lock

From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Thu Dec 19 2019 - 17:50:17 EST


From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

There is a race condition in acpi_ec_get_query_handler()
theoretically allowing query handlers to go away before
reference counting them.

In order to avoid it, call kref_get() on query handlers under
ec->mutex.

Also simplify the code a bit while at it.
