Neil Horman eea915bb0d firmware: Fix an oops on reading fw_priv->fw in sysfs loading file ... This oops was reported recently: firmware_loading_store+0xf9/0x17b dev_attr_store+0x20/0x22 sysfs_write_file+0x101/0x134 vfs_write+0xac/0xf3 sys_write+0x4a/0x6e system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b The complete backtrace was unfortunately not captured, but details can be found here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=769920 The cause is fairly clear. Its caused by the fact that firmware_loading_store has a case 0 in its switch statement that reads and writes the fw_priv->fw poniter without the protection of the fw_lock mutex. since there is a window between the time that _request_firmware sets fw_priv->fw to NULL and the time the corresponding sysfs file is unregistered, its possible for a user space application to race in, and write a zero to the loading file, causing a NULL dereference in firmware_loading_store. Fix it by extending the protection of the fw_lock mutex to cover all of the firware_loading_store function.
