[PATCH V2] Gadget: race between ffs_epfile_io() and ffs_func_eps_disable()

From: Chao Bi
Date: Sun Apr 13 2014 - 22:49:49 EST



ffs_epfile_io() is called from userspace, while ffs_func_esp_disable() might
be called from USB disconnect interrupt, the two functions would run in parallel
but they are not well protected, that epfile->ep would be removed by
ffs_func_esp_disable() during ffs_epfile_io() is referring this pointer, then it
leads to kernel PANIC.

The scenario is as below:

Thread 1 Thread 2
| |
SyS_read dwc3_gadget_disconnect_interrupt
| |
ffs_epfile_read reset_config
| |
ffs_epfile_io ffs_func_eps_disable
| |
----- usb_ep_disable(): epfile->ep->ep->desc = NULL
| |
usb_ep_align_maybe(): -----
it refers ep->desc->wMaxPacketSize -----
