Mh, didn't hit that bug since I don't use disconnect signals.  But it
looks like it has the same issue.

Please consider the patch below, it

1) changes pid_t to uid_t
2) exports the symbol
3) adresses the same task_struct referencing issue for disconnect
   signals

I hope this now finally is the last take ;)


[USBDEVIO] Fix Oops in usbdevio async URB completion (CAN-2005-3055)

If a process issues an URB from userspace and (starts to) terminate
before the URB comes back, we run into the issue described above.  This
is because the urb saves a pointer to "current" when it is posted to the
device, but there's no guarantee that this pointer is still valid
afterwards.

This basically means that any userspace process with permissions to
any arbitrary USB device can Ooops any kernel.(!)

In fact, there are two separate issues:

1) the pointer to "current" can become invalid, since the task could be
   completely gone when the URB completion comes back from the device.

2) Even if the saved task pointer is still pointing to a valid task_struct,
   task_struct->sighand could have gone meanwhile.  Therefore, the USB
   async URB completion handler needs to reliably check whether
   task_struct->sighand is still valid or not.  In order to prevent a
   race with __exit_sighand(), it needs to grab a
   read_lock(&tasklist_lock).  This strategy seems to work, since the
   send_sig_info() code uses the same protection.
   However, we now would need to export a __send_sig_info() function, one
   that expects to be called with read_lock(&tasklist_lock) already held by
   the caller.

So what we do instead, is to save the PID of the process, and introduce a
new kill_proc_info_as_uid() function.  Yes, pid's can and will wrap, so
this is just a short-term fix until usbfs2 will appear.
