[ Upstream commit abd42781c3d2155868821f1b947ae45bbc33330d ]
Imagine below scene, spidev is referenced after it's freed.
spidev_release() spidev_remove()
...
spin_lock_irq(&spidev->spi_lock);
spidev->spi = NULL;
spin_unlock_irq(&spidev->spi_lock);
mutex_lock(&device_list_lock);
dofree = (spidev->spi == NULL);
if (dofree)
kfree(spidev);
mutex_unlock(&device_list_lock);
mutex_lock(&device_list_lock);
list_del(&spidev->device_entry);
device_destroy(spidev_class, spidev->devt);
clear_bit(MINOR(spidev->devt), minors);
if (spidev->users == 0)
kfree(spidev);
mutex_unlock(&device_list_lock);
Fix it by resetting spidev->spi in device_list_lock's protection.
