From 66d2a5952eab875f1286e04f738ef029afdaf013 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Torokhov Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2009 21:54:35 -0800 Subject: Input: keyboard - fix lack of locking when traversing handler->h_list Keyboard handler should not attempt to traverse handler->h_list on its own, without any locking, otherwise it races with registering and unregistering of input handles which leads to crashes. Introduce input_handler_for_each_handle() helper that allows safely iterate over all handles attached to a particular handler and switch keyboard handler to use it.
