[PATCH 3.10 029/180] USB: fix invalid memory access in hub_activate()

[Willy Tarreau]

From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit e50293ef9775c5f1cf3fcc093037dd6a8c5684ea upstream.

Commit 8520f38099cc ("USB: change hub initialization sleeps to
delayed_work") changed the hub_activate() routine to make part of it
run in a workqueue.  However, the commit failed to take a reference to
the usb_hub structure or to lock the hub interface while doing so.  As
a result, if a hub is plugged in and quickly unplugged before the work
routine can run, the routine will try to access memory that has been
deallocated.  Or, if the hub is unplugged while the routine is
running, the memory may be deallocated while it is in active use.

This patch fixes the problem by taking a reference to the usb_hub at
the start of hub_activate() and releasing it at the end (when the work
is finished), and by locking the hub interface while the work routine
is running.  It also adds a check at the start of the routine to see
if the hub has already been disconnected, in which nothing should be
done.

[ luis: backported to 3.16:
  - Added forward declaration of hub_release() which mainline had with commit
    32a6958998c5 ("usb: hub: convert khubd into workqueue") ]
