[ 033/175] cdc-wdm: Fix more races on the read path

From: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2012-03-30 21:57:26
Also in: lkml

3.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ben Hutchings <redacted>

commit 711c68b3c0f7a924ffbee4aa962d8f62b85188ff upstream.

We must not allow the input buffer length to change while we're
shuffling the buffer contents.  We also mustn't clear the WDM_READ
flag after more data might have arrived.  Therefore move both of these
into the spinlocked region at the bottom of wdm_read().

When reading desc->length without holding the iuspin lock, use
ACCESS_ONCE() to ensure the compiler doesn't re-read it with
inconsistent results.
