From 543d7784b07ffd16cc82a9cb4e1e0323fd0040f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Stern Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2014 10:43:02 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] USB: fix race between hub_disconnect and recursively_mark_NOTATTACHED There is a race in the hub driver between hub_disconnect() and recursively_mark_NOTATTACHED(). This race can be triggered if the driver is unbound from a device at the same time as the bus's root hub is removed. When the race occurs, it can cause an oops: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000015c IP: [] recursively_mark_NOTATTACHED+0x20/0x60 Call Trace: [] recursively_mark_NOTATTACHED+0x34/0x60 [] recursively_mark_NOTATTACHED+0x34/0x60 [] recursively_mark_NOTATTACHED+0x34/0x60 [] recursively_mark_NOTATTACHED+0x34/0x60 [] usb_set_device_state+0x92/0x120 [] usb_disconnect+0x2b/0x1a0 [] usb_remove_hcd+0xb0/0x160 [] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x26/0x50 [] ehci_mid_remove+0x1c/0x30 [] ehci_mid_stop_host+0x16/0x30 [] penwell_otg_work+0xd28/0x3520 [] ? __schedule+0x39b/0x7f0 [] ? sub_preempt_count+0x3d/0x50 [] process_one_work+0x11d/0x3d0 [] ? mutex_unlock+0xd/0x10 [] ? manage_workers.isra.24+0x1b5/0x270 [] worker_thread+0xf9/0x320 [] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x26/0x50 [] ? rescuer_thread+0x2b0/0x2b0 [] kthread+0x94/0xa0 [] ret_from_kernel_thread+0x1b/0x28 [] ? kthread_create_on_node+0xc0/0xc0 One problem is that recursively_mark_NOTATTACHED() uses the intfdata value and hub->hdev->maxchild while hub_disconnect() is clearing them. Another problem is that it uses hub->ports[i] while the port device is being released. To fix this race, we need to hold the device_state_lock while hub_disconnect() changes the values. (Note that usb_disconnect() and hub_port_connect_change() already acquire this lock at similar critical times during a USB device's life cycle.) We also need to remove the port devices after maxchild has been set to 0, instead of before.
