udc_stop needs to be called before gadget driver unbind. Otherwise it might happen that udc drivers still call into the gadget driver (e.g. to reset gadget after OTG event). If this happens it is likely to get panics from gadget driver dereferencing NULL ptr, as gadget's drvdata is set to NULL on unbind. Signed-off-by: Danilo Krummrich <danilokrummrich@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Actually there could still be a race: (CPU1 code taken from dwc3 drivers dwc3_disconnect_gadget() as exsample) CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- usb_gadget_disconnect(udc->gadget); udc->driver->disconnect(udc->gadget); if (dwc->gadget_driver && dwc->gadget_driver->disconnect) usb_gadget_udc_stop(udc); udc->driver->unbind(udc->gadget); dwc->gadget_driver->disconnect(&dwc->gadget); UDC drivers typically set their gadget driver pointer to NULL in udc_stop and check for it before calling into the gadget driver. To fix the issue above every udc driver could apply a lock around this. If you see the need for having this or another solutions I can provide further patches. This patch could also just serve as a base for discussion if someone knows a smarter solution. I saw this problem causing a panic on hikey960 board and provided a quick workaround for the same problem here: https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/kernel/common/+/457476/ (panic log in the commit message of the linked patch) --- drivers/usb/gadget/udc/core.c | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/core.c b/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/core.c index efce68e9a8e0..8155468afc0d 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/core.c +++ b/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/core.c @@ -1234,8 +1234,12 @@ static void usb_gadget_remove_driver(struct usb_udc *udc) usb_gadget_disconnect(udc->gadget); udc->driver->disconnect(udc->gadget); - udc->driver->unbind(udc->gadget); + /* udc_stop needs to be called before gadget driver unbind to prevent + * udc driver calls into gadget driver after unbind which could cause + * a nullptr exception. + */ usb_gadget_udc_stop(udc); + udc->driver->unbind(udc->gadget); udc->driver = NULL; udc->dev.driver = NULL; -- 2.14.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
