[PATCH 4.4 03/19] net: hso: register netdev later to avoid a race condition
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Nov 10 2021 - 13:44:34 EST
From: Andreas Kemnade <andreas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4c761daf8bb9a2cbda9facf53ea85d9061f4281e upstream.
If the netdev is accessed before the urbs are initialized,
there will be NULL pointer dereferences. That is avoided by
registering it when it is fully initialized.
This case occurs e.g. if dhcpcd is running in the background
and the device is probed, either after insmod hso or
when the device appears on the usb bus.
A backtrace is the following:
