Linus Torvalds 9fb7007de8 Char/Misc patch for 5.5-rc6 
Here is a single fix, for the chrdev core, for 5.5-rc6
 
 There's been a long-standing race condition triggered by syzbot, and
 occasionally real people, in the chrdev open() path.  Will finally took
 the time to track it down and fix it for real before the holidays.
 
 Here's that one patch, it's been in linux-next for a while with no
 reported issues and it does fix the reported problem.
