[PATCH] Input: cm109 - fix URB double-submit due to missing open check

From: Xue Lei

Date: Thu Jul 09 2026 - 03:39:51 EST


Add a dev->open check at the beginning of cm109_input_ev() to reject
events when the device is not open. There is no point in handling
input events for a device that has not been fully initialized.

The cm109 driver's event callback cm109_input_ev() can be invoked via
kd_mksound() -> input_inject_event() as soon as the input handle is
registered in kbd_connect(), which happens during
input_register_device() before cm109_input_open() has completed.
Without checking dev->open, the callback calls
cm109_toggle_buzzer_async() which submits urb_ctl while
cm109_input_open() is also about to submit the same URB, causing a
'list_add double add' BUG in usb_hcd_link_urb_to_ep().

Two crash scenarios have been observed:

Scenario 1: Same-CPU preemption (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y)

During input_register_device(), kbd_connect() calls
input_open_device() which invokes cm109_input_open(). Between
setting ctl_urb_pending=1 and submitting the URB, the kworker
thread is preempted by a process writing to a tty (triggering
kd_mksound). The preempting process calls input_inject_event()
-> cm109_input_ev() -> cm109_toggle_buzzer_async(), which sees
ctl_urb_pending=0 (not yet set) and submits urb_ctl. When the
kworker resumes, it also submits the same urb_ctl.

CPU 0 (kworker) CPU 0 (preempting)
--------------- ------------------
input_open():
// about to set pending=1
<preempted>
input_ev():
toggle_buzzer_async():
ctl_urb_pending == 0
submit_urb(urb_ctl) [1st]
<resumes>
ctl_urb_pending = 1
submit_urb(urb_ctl) [2nd] --> CRASH

Scenario 2: Cross-CPU concurrency

kbd_connect() has made the device handle visible to kd_mksound
on CPU 1, but cm109_input_open() on CPU 0 has not yet finished.
CPU 1 calls cm109_input_ev() first, sees dev->open=0 and
ctl_urb_pending=0 (device was just kzalloc'd), and submits
urb_ctl. Shortly after, CPU 0's cm109_input_open() also submits
the same urb_ctl that is already on the endpoint list.

CPU 0 (kworker) CPU 1 (repro)
--------------- ---------------
input_register_device()
kbd_connect()
input_register_handle()
kd_mksound() sees handle
input_open_device() input_ev():
cm109_input_open(): toggle_buzzer_async():
// not started yet ctl_urb_pending == 0
open == 0
submit_urb [1st]
ctl_urb_pending = 1
submit_urb [2nd] --> CRASH

In both cases the root cause is that cm109_input_ev() does not
verify the device is open before triggering URB submission. Adding
the open check at function entry prevents the event callback from
racing with cm109_input_open() on URB submission.
