This patch addresses a race condition caused by unsynchronized execution of multiple call paths invoking `dwc3_remove_requests()`, leading to premature freeing of USB requests and subsequent crashes.
Three distinct execution paths interact with `dwc3_remove_requests()`: Path 1: Triggered via `dwc3_gadget_reset_interrupt()` during USB reset handling. The call stack includes: - `dwc3_ep0_reset_state()` - `dwc3_ep0_stall_and_restart()` - `dwc3_ep0_out_start()` - `dwc3_remove_requests()` - `dwc3_gadget_del_and_unmap_request()`
Path 2: Also initiated from `dwc3_gadget_reset_interrupt()`, but through `dwc3_stop_active_transfers()`. The call stack includes: - `dwc3_stop_active_transfers()` - `dwc3_remove_requests()` - `dwc3_gadget_del_and_unmap_request()`
Path 3: Occurs independently during `adb root` execution, which triggers USB function unbind and bind operations. The sequence includes: - `gserial_disconnect()` - `usb_ep_disable()` - `dwc3_gadget_ep_disable()` - `dwc3_remove_requests()` with `-ESHUTDOWN` status
Path 3 operates asynchronously and lacks synchronization with Paths 1 and 2. When Path 3 completes, it disables endpoints and frees 'out' requests. If Paths 1 or 2 are still processing these requests, accessing freed memory leads to a crash due to use-after-free conditions.
To fix this added check for request completion and skip processing if already completed and added the request status for ep0 while queue.
Fixes: 72246da40f37 ("usb: Introduce DesignWare USB3 DRD Driver") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Suggested-by: Thinh Nguyen Thinh.Nguyen@synopsys.com Acked-by: Thinh Nguyen Thinh.Nguyen@synopsys.com Signed-off-by: Manish Nagar manish.nagar@oss.qualcomm.com --- Changes in v3: - Add the fixes tag , cc stable and acked-by tag.
Changes in v2: - Add a check for request completion, in v1 I am avoiding this by wait for completion for ep0 then process the other eps.
