[PATCH v3 1/2] HID: bigben: use spinlock to safely schedule workers

From: Pietro Borrello
Date: Thu Feb 09 2023 - 18:59:11 EST


Use spinlocks to deal with workers introducing a wrapper
bigben_schedule_work(), and several spinlock checks.
Otherwise, bigben_set_led() may schedule bigben->worker after the
structure has been freed, causing a use-after-free.

Fixes: 4eb1b01de5b9 ("HID: hid-bigbenff: fix race condition for scheduled work during removal")
