The bound check on the buffer length
if (count > HID_MIN_BUFFER_SIZE)
is of course incorrent, the proper check is
if (count > HID_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE)
Fix it.

Next step for complete hid bus, this patch includes:
- call parser either from probe or from hid-core if there is no probe.
- add ll_driver structure and centralize some stuff there (open, close...)
- split and merge usb_hid_configure and hid_probe into several functions
to allow hooks/fixes between them

In this case I simply wrapped it as code review suggests the locking
already terminally broken and I didn't want to make it first. See added

device_create() is race-prone, so use the race-free
device_create_drvdata() instead as device_create() is going away.

The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start
using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in
the kernel.
The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in
this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce
more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

Fix bogus copying of data into userspace when HIDIOCGRDESC is issued.
HID-transport layer makes sure that dev->hid->rdesc is not larger than
HID_MAX_DESCRIPTOR_SIZE.

It looks like hidraw_connect() is leaking memory in case of failure.
Also it should return -ENOMEM when kzalloc fails.

hidraw is an interface that is going to obsolete hiddev one
day.
Many userland applications are using libusb instead of using
kernel-provided hiddev interface. This is caused by various
reasons - the HID parser in kernel doesn't handle all the
HID hardware on the planet properly, some devices might require
its own specific quirks/drivers, etc.
hiddev interface tries to do its best to parse all the received
reports properly, and presents only parsed usages into userspace.
This is however often not enough, and that's the reason why
many userland applications just don't use hiddev at all, and
rather use libusb to read raw USB events and process them on
their own.
Another drawback of hiddev is that it is USB-specific.
hidraw interface provides userspace readers with really raw HID
reports, no matter what the low-level transport layer is (USB/BT),
and gives the userland applications all the freedom to process
the HID reports in a way they wish to.
