HID: hidraw, fix a NULL pointer dereference in hidraw_write
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028 IP: [<ffffffffa0f0a625>] hidraw_write+0x3b/0x116 [hid] [...] This is reproducible by disconnecting the device while userspace writes to dev node in a loop and doesn't check return values in order to exit the loop.
