    Description

      When rapidly removing/inserting an input device, Qt applications have a tendency to crash in

      QXcbConnection::deviceForId, with the following backtrace:

      This happened to me randomly in Plasma 5, when I assume I was unplugging an external USB mouse (I wasn't paying close attention at the time). I can reliably reproduce this issue by plugging in my mouse and rapidly removing and inserting the hid-generic kernel module (causing the mouse to appear/disappear from Xorg). This causes Qt 5 applications to rapidly crash with the same backtrace.

      Digging around using gdb, I think found a race between QXcbConnection::xi2SetupDevices querying for the list of devices using XIQueryDevice, and QXcbConnection::deviceForId asking for similar information from a specific device using XIQueryDevice again. The second call returns a null pointer, which then cause the crash.

      Thanks for looking into this!
