upon further thought this code is still racy.
retval = usb_register_dev(usbhid->intf, &hiddev_class);
here you open a window during which open can happen
if (retval) {
err_hid("Not able to get a minor for this device.");
hid->hiddev = NULL;
kfree(hiddev);
return -1;
} else {
hid->minor = usbhid->intf->minor;
hiddev_table[usbhid->intf->minor - HIDDEV_MINOR_BASE] = hiddev;
and will fail because hiddev_table hasn't been updated
The obvious fix of using a mutex to guard hiddev_table doesn't work because
usb_open() and usb_register_dev() take minor_rwsem and we'd have an AB-BA
deadlock. We need a lock usb_open() also takes in the right order and that leaves
only one option, BKL. I don't like it but I see no alternative.
Once the usb_open() implements something better than lock_kernel(), we could also
do so.

* 'bkl-removal' of git://git.lwn.net/linux-2.6:
Rationalize fasync return values
Move FASYNC bit handling to f_op->fasync()
Use f_lock to protect f_flags
Rename struct file->f_ep_lock
This uses the USB busy mechanism for aggessive autosuspend of USB
HID devices. It autosuspends all opened devices supporting remote wakeup
after a timeout unless
- output is being done to the device
- a key is being held down (remote wakeup isn't triggered upon key release)
- LED(s) are lit
- hiddev is opened
As in the current driver closed devices will be autosuspended even if they
don't support remote wakeup.
The patch is quite large because output to devices is done in hard interrupt
context meaning a lot a queuing and locking had to be touched. The LED stuff
has been solved by means of a simple counter. Additions to the generic HID code
could be avoided. In addition it now covers hidraw. It contains an embryonic
version of an API to let the generic HID code tell the lower levels which
capabilities with respect to power management are needed.

Most fasync implementations do something like:
return fasync_helper(...);
But fasync_helper() will return a positive value at times - a feature used
in at least one place. Thus, a number of other drivers do:
err = fasync_helper(...);
if (err < 0)
return err;
return 0;
In the interests of consistency and more concise code, it makes sense to
map positive return values onto zero where ->fasync() is called.

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 079034073 "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.

If hiddev_open() fails, it wrongly frees the shared hiddev structure
kept in hiddev_table instead of the hiddev_list structure allocated
for the opened file descriptor. Existing references to this structure
will then accessed free memory.

This is a cleanup of hiddev and fixes the following issues:
- thread safety by locking in read & ioctl, introducing a per device mutex
- race between ioctl and disconnect, introducing a flag and locking
in form of a per low level device mutex
- race between open and other methods, making sure only successfully
opened devices are put on the list, changing order of events
- range checking both upper and lower limits of the minor range
- make sure further calls to open fail for unplugged devices even if
the device still has opened files
- error checking for low level open
- possible loss of wakeup events, using standard waiting macros
- race in initialisation by moving registration after full initialisation

As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync()
need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that
creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget.
So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in
file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set. And lose that
crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we
don't have to bother anymore.

The hiddev driver currently lacks 32bit ioctl compatibility, so
if you're running with a 64bit kernel and 32bit userspace, it won't
work.
I'm pretty sure that the only thing missing is a compat_ioctl
implementation as all structs have fixed size fields.

There have been many reports recently about broken HID devices, the
diagnosis of which required users to recompile their kernels in order
to be able to provide debugging output needed for coding a quirk for
a particular device.
This patch makes CONFIG_HID_DEBUG default y if !EMBEDDED and makes it
possible to control debugging output produced by HID code by supplying
