Looking into the codes, there is a loop in dvb_usb_read_remote_control(),
that is in rc_core_dvb_usb_remote_init() create a work that will call
dvb_usb_read_remote_control(), and this work will reschedule itself at
'rc_interval' intervals to recursively call dvb_usb_read_remote_control(),
see following code snippet:

rc_core_dvb_usb_remote_init() {
...
INIT_DELAYED_WORK(&d->rc_query_work, dvb_usb_read_remote_control);
schedule_delayed_work(&d->rc_query_work,
msecs_to_jiffies(rc_interval));
...
}

dvb_usb_read_remote_control() {
...
err = d->props.rc.core.rc_query(d);
if (err)
err(...) // Did not return even if query failed
schedule_delayed_work(&d->rc_query_work,
msecs_to_jiffies(rc_interval));
}

When the infinite log printing occurs, the query callback
'd->props.rc.core.rc_query' is cxusb_rc_query(). And the log is due to
the failure of finding a valid 'generic_bulk_ctrl_endpoint'
in usb_bulk_msg(), see following code snippet:

cxusb_rc_query() {
cxusb_ctrl_msg() {
dvb_usb_generic_rw() {
ret = usb_bulk_msg(d->udev, usb_sndbulkpipe(d->udev,
d->props.generic_bulk_ctrl_endpoint),...);
if (ret)
err("bulk message failed: %d (%d/%d)",ret,wlen,actlen);
...
}
...
}

By analyzing the corresponding USB descriptor, it shows that the
bNumEndpoints is 0 in its interface descriptor, but
the 'generic_bulk_ctrl_endpoint' is 1, that means user don't configure
a valid endpoint for 'generic_bulk_ctrl_endpoint', therefore this
'invalid' USB device should be rejected before it calls into
dvb_usb_read_remote_control().

To fix it, we need to add endpoint check for 'generic_bulk_ctrl_endpoint'.
And as Sean suggested, the same check and clear halts should be done for
'generic_bulk_ctrl_endpoint_response'. So introduce
dvb_usb_check_bulk_endpoint() to do it for both of them.

v2:
- As Sean suggested, check endpoint and clear halt for both
'generic_bulk_ctrl_endpoint' and 'generic_bulk_ctrl_endpoint_response'
with the new introduced dvb_usb_check_bulk_endpoint();

This results in the following warning:

drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-init.c:133:9: warning: 'adap' may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

I think these tests should be moved to the top of the function, so no cleanup
is required.


Hi, Sean,

I have fixed the warning in v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240509124414.1392304-1-zhengyejian1@xxxxxxxxxx/,
would you mind taking a look at it ?
I introduce a new funciton dvb_usb_clear_halt() to clear sndbulkpipe and rcvbulkpipe,
dvb_usb_check_bulk_endpoint() only do pipe type check and is moved to the top of
the function.
