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.

[ Upstream commit cacdb14b ] roccat_report_event() is responsible for registering roccat-related reports in struct roccat_device. int roccat_report_event(int minor, u8 const *data) { struct roccat_device *device; struct roccat_reader *reader; struct roccat_report *report; uint8_t *new_value; device = devices[minor]; new_value = kmemdup(data, device->report_size, GFP_ATOMIC); if (!new_value) return -ENOMEM; report = &device->cbuf[device->cbuf_end]; /* passing NULL is safe */ kfree(report->value); ... The registered report is stored in the struct roccat_device member "struct roccat_report cbuf[ROCCAT_CBUF_SIZE];". If more reports are received than the "ROCCAT_CBUF_SIZE" value, kfree() the saved report from cbuf[0] and allocates a new reprot. Since there is no lock when this kfree() is performed, kfree() can be performed even while reading the saved report. static ssize_t roccat_read(struct file *file, char ...
