Two medium findings from the round-1 sweep, each applied to both siblings.
- create_swdevice stack-allocated the SwCreateCtx that the async PnP completion
callback writes through (result + up to 127 u16 of instance id) and then
SetEvents. The wait is bounded at 10s, so on a wedged-PnP timeout the callback
can still be PENDING: the frame is popped, the input thread reuses that stack,
and a late callback corrupts it and SetEvents an already-closed (possibly
recycled) handle. The context is now heap-allocated and reclaimed only where
the callback provably ran; on the timeout path the box is deliberately leaked
and the event left open, so a late write always targets live memory. Costs a
one-off ~264 B + one HANDLE on that rare path. Applied to the DualSense path
and its XUSB sibling in gamepad_windows.rs.
- Ds4WinPad::open swallowed a create_swdevice failure into a WARN and returned
Ok with no devnode. PadSlots::ensure then stored Some(pad) AND called
gate.on_success(), so the slot short-circuited on is_some() forever and the
capped-backoff retry that exists precisely to self-heal a transient PnP failure
never ran — the game saw no controller for the rest of the session unless the
client unplugged the pad. Now propagates, matching the XUSB sibling. Same fix
applied to steam_deck_windows.rs.
Windows .173: pf-inject 53/0. Linux .21: pf-inject 74/0 (8 ignored).
