Since "general protection fault in tomoyo_socket_sendmsg_permission" is caused by
unexpectedly resetting ud->tcp_socket to NULL without waiting for tx thread to
terminate, tracing the ordering of events is worth knowing. Even adding
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible() to before kernel_sendmsg() might help.


What about the duplicate bug information that was in my email?
Did you take a look at that?

I was not aware of the duplicate bugs. It is interesting that
"KASAN: null-ptr-deref Write in event_handler" says that vdev->ud.tcp_tx became NULL at

if (vdev->ud.tcp_tx) {

/* this location */

kthread_stop_put(vdev->ud.tcp_tx);
vdev->ud.tcp_tx = NULL;
}

which means that somebody else is unexpectedly resetting vdev->ud.tcp_tx to NULL.

If memset() from vhci_device_init() from vhci_start() were unexpectedly called,
all of tcp_socket, tcp_rx, tcp_tx etc. becomes NULL which can explain these bugs ?
I'm inclined to report not only tcp_socket but also other fields when kernel_sendmsg()
detected that tcp_socket is NULL...


In this console log:

SK: Looking at the console log, it looks like while connection is being

Can you share your your test code for this program:
"executing program 1"

Also your setup? Do you run usbip_host and vhci_hcd both?

thanks,
