[PATCH] net/9p/usbg: clear stale request context after abort
From: Qi Zhang
Date: Sun Aug 02 2026 - 11:27:50 EST
From: Chengfeng Ye <nicoyip.dev@xxxxxxxxx>
usb9pfs_clear_tx() serializes access to the active TX request with
usb9pfs->lock, but leaves in_req->context pointing at the request after
p9_client_cb() drops the transport reference. A later teardown path can
therefore retrieve the same request after it has been freed:
CPU 0 (p9_usbg_close) CPU 1 (usb9pfs_disable)
lock(usb9pfs->lock)
req = in_req->context
p9_client_cb(client, req)
p9_req_put(client, req)
unlock(usb9pfs->lock)
request reaches zero refs
kmem_cache_free(req)
lock(usb9pfs->lock)
req = in_req->context
read req->t_err
The lock orders the two callbacks, but cannot protect a pointer that
remains published after its reference has been released. KASAN reported:

p9_usbg_close+0x7e/0x150
Clear in_req->context after the callback while still holding the lock.
This matches the consume-and-clear pattern in usb9pfs_tx_complete(), so
subsequent teardown calls return without touching the released request.
The existing callback and error ordering remain unchanged.
