[PATCH] USB: core: Avoid race of async_completed() w/ usbdev_release()

From: Douglas Anderson
Date: Thu Aug 10 2017 - 18:43:04 EST


While running reboot tests w/ a specific set of USB devices (and
slub_debug enabled), I found that once every few hours my device would
be crashed with a stack that looked like this:

Investigation using kgdb() found that the wait queue that was passed
into wake_up() had been freed (it was filled with slub_debug poison).

I analyzed and instrumented the code and reproduced. My current
belief is that this is happening:

1. async_completed() is called (from IRQ). Moves "as" onto the
completed list.
2. On another CPU, proc_reapurbnonblock_compat() calls
async_getcompleted(). Blocks on spinlock.
3. async_completed() releases the lock; keeps running; gets blocked
midway through wake_up().
4. proc_reapurbnonblock_compat() => async_getcompleted() gets the
lock; removes "as" from completed list and frees it.
5. usbdev_release() is called. Frees "ps".
6. async_completed() finally continues running wake_up(). ...but
wake_up() has a pointer to the freed "ps".

The instrumentation that led me to believe this was based on adding
some trace_printk() calls in a select few functions and then using
kdb's "ftdump" at crash time. The trace follows (NOTE: in the trace
below I cheated a little bit and added a udelay(1000) in
async_completed() after releasing the spinlock because I wanted it to
trigger quicker):

mtpd-2055 3.... 13759497us!: usbdev_release after kfree(ps): ps=ffffffc0cc042080
<...>-2104 0d.h2 13760294us : async_completed before wake_up(): as=ffffffc0cc638200

To fix this problem we can just move the wake_up() under the ps->lock.
There should be no issues there that I'm aware of.

NOTE: All testing of this patch was done on the Chromium OS kernel
version 4.4. The machine tested only barely boots upstream Linux and
it seemed unlikely I'd be able to reproduce the exact failure there,
so I didn't try. The issue seems to clearly apply to upstream based
on code analysis, though.
