Title
comedi: Reinit dev->spinlock between attachments to low-level drivers
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: comedi: Reinit dev->spinlock between attachments to low-level drivers `struct comedi_device` is the main controlling structure for a COMEDI device created by the COMEDI subsystem. It contains a member `spinlock` containing a spin-lock that is initialized by the COMEDI subsystem, but is reserved for use by a low-level driver attached to the COMEDI device (at least since commit 25436dc9d84f ("Staging: comedi: remove RT code")). Some COMEDI devices (those created on initialization of the COMEDI subsystem when the "comedi.comedi_num_legacy_minors" parameter is non-zero) can be attached to different low-level drivers over their lifetime using the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl command. This can result in inconsistent lock states being reported when there is a mismatch in the spin-lock locking levels used by each low-level driver to which the COMEDI device has been attached. Fix it by reinitializing `dev->spinlock` before calling the low-level driver's `attach` function pointer if `CONFIG_LOCKDEP` is enabled.
