During that repeated hotplug,\nsnd_dualsense_ih_match() can run while the controller's USB device is\nbeing disconnected. kobject_get_path() walks ancestor kobjects and\ndereferences their names; if the USB device kobject name is no longer\nvalid, this can fault in strlen():\n\n  RIP: 0010:strlen+0x10/0x30\n  Call Trace:\n   kobject_get_path+0x34/0x150\n   snd_dualsense_ih_match+0x49/0xd0 [snd_usb_audio]\n   input_register_device+0x566/0x6a0\n   ps_probe+0xb89/0x1590 [hid_playstation]\n\nThe same ownership check can be done without building kobject path\nstrings. The input device is parented below the HID device, USB interface\nand USB device, so walking the input device parent chain and comparing\nagainst the mixer USB device preserves the check without dereferencing\nkobject names during disconnect."
