The syzbot fuzzer discovered a bad race between in the usbhid driver between usbhid_stop() and usbhid_close(). In particular, usbhid_stop() does: usb_free_urb(usbhid->urbin); ... usbhid->urbin = NULL; /* don't mess up next start */ and usbhid_close() does: usb_kill_urb(usbhid->urbin); with no mutual exclusion. If the two routines happen to run concurrently so that usb_kill_urb() is called in between the usb_free_urb() and the NULL assignment, it will access the deallocated urb structure -- a use-after-free bug. This patch adds a mutex to the usbhid private structure and uses it to enforce mutual exclusion of the usbhid_start(), usbhid_stop(), usbhid_open() and usbhid_close() callbacks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
