From 963761a0b2e85663ee4a5630f72930885a06598a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sean Young Date: Wed, 24 May 2017 06:24:51 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] [media] rc-core: race condition during ir_raw_event_register() A rc device can call ir_raw_event_handle() after rc_allocate_device(), but before rc_register_device() has completed. This is racey because rcdev->raw is set before rcdev->raw->thread has a valid value.
