[PATCH v2] usb: gadget: lpc32xx_udc: drain the pullup work on removal

From: Hyunjung Ko

Date: Tue Nov 10 2026 - 07:13:33 EST


isp1301_pullup_enable() schedules udc->pullup_job to perform the slow
isp1301 i2c pull-up access from process context. The work handler
(pullup_work) dereferences udc and touches the isp1301 i2c client.

udc is allocated with devm_kmemdup(), so devres frees it after
lpc32xx_udc_remove() returns. remove() calls pullup(udc, 0) -- which
queues pullup_job to clear the D+ pull-up -- but never drains it, so the
work can run after udc has been freed (and the isp1301 client put),
dereferencing freed memory -- a use-after-free.

Flush pullup_job in lpc32xx_udc_remove() after the final pullup(udc, 0).
flush_work() (rather than cancel_work_sync()) lets the queued pull-up
disable actually complete before the udc and its isp1301 client are
released, so the transceiver is left with D+ deasserted.

Found by static analysis; not runtime-reproduced (needs LPC32xx USB
gadget hardware with the isp1301 transceiver).

v2: flush_work() instead of cancel_work_sync(), so the pull-up disable
queued by pullup(udc, 0) completes rather than being dropped
(OTG1_DP_PULLUP would otherwise stay asserted after unbind) -- per
Sashiko review of v1.
