    HID: fix waitqueue usage in hiddev · 96fe2ab8
    Johannes Weiner 提交于
    DECLARE_WAITQUEUE doesn't initialize the wait descriptor's task_list
    to 'empty' but to zero.
    
    prepare_to_wait() will not enqueue the descriptor to the waitqueue and
    finish_wait() will do list_del_init() on a list head that contains
    NULL pointers, which oopses.
    
    This was introduced by 07903407 "HID: hiddev cleanup -- handle all
    error conditions properly".
    
    The prior code used an unconditional add_to_waitqueue() which didn't
    care about the wait descriptor's list head and enqueued the thing
    unconditionally.
    
    The new code uses prepare_to_wait() which DOES check the prior list
    state, so use DEFINE_WAIT instead.
