The bug looks real to me and it can be easily reproduced by executing:
mmap(&(0x7f0000000000/0xfff000)=nil, (0xfff000), 0x3, 0x32,
0xffffffffffffffff, 0x0)
syz_open_dev$usb(&(0x7f0000001000-0x15)="2f6465762f6275732f7573622f3030232f30302300",
0x1ff, 0x200)
syz_open_dev$usb(&(0x7f0000002000-0x15)="2f6465762f6275732f7573622f3030232f30302300",
0x3f, 0x0)
and failing 7-th malloc in the first one, this one:
kzalloc include/linux/slab.h:663 [inline]
rh_call_control drivers/usb/core/hcd.c:522 [inline]
>From the report:
(from the failure stack)
kmalloc in rh_call_control fails, and it straight returns -ENOMEM
without calling usb_hcd_unlink_urb_from_ep(hcd, urb) leaving urb
linked into hcd (and that's probably the root problem)
consequently:
rh_urb_enqueue return -ENOMEM
usb_hcd_submit_urb does INIT_LIST_HEAD(&urb->urb_list), but the urb is
still linked, so we got corrupted list
(from the free stack)
eventually usb_start_wait_urb frees the still linked urb by calling usb_free_urb
(form the use-after-free stack)
the subsequent open links a new urb into the corrupted list in
usb_hcd_link_urb_to_ep
bang!
