[PATCH v7 0/2] gpiolib: don't allow user-space to crash the kernel with hot-unplugs

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@xxxxxxxxxx>

I need to respin this series after Nick Hainke reported a build failure when
the v1 uAPI for character device is disabled. I also noticed that we need to
lower the semaphore when opening the character device file as well.

v6 -> v7:
- fix a build issue with CDEV_V1 code disabled (giving credit to Nick Hainke)
- protect the gdev->chip also in gpio_chrdev_open()

v5 -> v6:
- signal an error in poll callbacks instead of returning 0 which would make
  the user-space assume a timeout occurred (which could lead to user-space
  spinning a timeout loop forever)

v4 -> v5:
- try to acquire the semaphore for reading and bail out of syscall callbacks
  immediately in case of lock contention

v3 -> v4:
- use function typedefs to make code cleaner
- add a blank line after down_write()

v2 -> v3:
- drop the helper variable in patch 1/2 as we won't be using it in 2/2
- refactor patch 2/2 to use locking wrappers around the syscall callbacks

v1 -> v2:
- add missing gdev->chip checks in patch 1/2
- add a second patch that protects the structures that can be accessed
  by user-space calls against concurrent removal

  gpiolib: cdev: fix NULL-pointer dereferences
  gpiolib: protect the GPIO device against being dropped while in use by
    user-space
