[PATCH v5] usb: devio: Add ioctl to disallow detaching kernel USB drivers.

From: Emilio LÃpez
Date: Sun Feb 21 2016 - 16:38:50 EST


From: Reilly Grant <reillyg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The new USBDEVFS_DROP_PRIVILEGES ioctl allows a process to voluntarily
relinquish the ability to issue other ioctls that may interfere with
other processes and drivers that have claimed an interface on the
device.

This commit also includes a simple utility to be able to test the
ioctl, located at Documentation/usb/usbdevfs-drop-permissions.c

Example (with qemu-kvm's input device):

$ lsusb
...
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0627:0001 Adomax Technology Co., Ltd

$ usb-devices
...
C: #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr=100mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID ) Sub=00 Prot=02 Driver=usbhid

$ sudo ./usbdevfs-drop-permissions /dev/bus/usb/001/002
OK: privileges dropped!
Available options:
[0] Exit now
[1] Reset device. Should fail if device is in use
[2] Claim 4 interfaces. Should succeed where not in use
[3] Narrow interface permission mask
Which option shall I run?: 1
ERROR: USBDEVFS_RESET failed! (1 - Operation not permitted)
Which test shall I run next?: 2
ERROR claiming if 0 (1 - Operation not permitted)
ERROR claiming if 1 (1 - Operation not permitted)
ERROR claiming if 2 (1 - Operation not permitted)
ERROR claiming if 3 (1 - Operation not permitted)
Which test shall I run next?: 0

After unbinding usbhid:

$ usb-devices
...
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID ) Sub=00 Prot=02 Driver=(none)

$ sudo ./usbdevfs-drop-permissions /dev/bus/usb/001/002
...
Which option shall I run?: 2
OK: claimed if 0
ERROR claiming if 1 (1 - Operation not permitted)
ERROR claiming if 2 (1 - Operation not permitted)
ERROR claiming if 3 (1 - Operation not permitted)
Which test shall I run next?: 1
OK: USBDEVFS_RESET succeeded
Which test shall I run next?: 0

After unbinding usbhid and restricting the mask:

$ sudo ./usbdevfs-drop-permissions /dev/bus/usb/001/002
...
Which option shall I run?: 3
Insert new mask: 0
OK: privileges dropped!
Which test shall I run next?: 2
ERROR claiming if 0 (1 - Operation not permitted)
ERROR claiming if 1 (1 - Operation not permitted)
ERROR claiming if 2 (1 - Operation not permitted)
ERROR claiming if 3 (1 - Operation not permitted)

Changes in v5:
- rebased on usb-next, changing the capability flag value to not collide
- Added Alan's ack

Changes in v4:
- IOR -> IOW
- Explain the new ioctl on usb Docbook
- Small program to be able to test the new functionality
- New capability flag
- Allow people to reset devices if they are the only ones
claiming interfaces, as suggested by Alan

Changes in v3:
- Switch ioctl to use a __u32 given the iface qty is capped at 32
- Reword comments as requested by Alan
- Allow callers to shrink the allowed interfaces mask

Changes in v2:
- Added a parameter to the ioctl, a mask of interfaces an unprivileged
process is allowed to claim.
- Drop Tested-by's
