The function r8a66597_endpoint_disable() and r8a66597_urb_enqueue() may
be concurrently executed.
The two functions both access a possible shared variable "hep->hcpriv".

This shared variable is freed by r8a66597_endpoint_disable() via the
call path:
r8a66597_endpoint_disable
   kfree(hep->hcpriv) (line 1995 in Linux-4.19)

This variable is read by r8a66597_urb_enqueue() via the call path:
r8a66597_urb_enqueue
   spin_lock_irqsave(&r8a66597->lock);
   init_pipe_info
     enable_r8a66597_pipe
       pipe = hep->hcpriv (line 802 in Linux-4.19)

The read operation is protected by a spinlock, but the free operation
is not protected by this spinlock, thus a concurrency use-after-free bug
may occur.

To fix this bug, the spin-lock and spin-unlock function calls in
r8a66597_endpoint_disable() are moved to protect the free operation.

Don't you also need the __aquires/__releases markings on this function
in order to properly annotate it, like the rest of the driver has?

Okay, thanks for this suggestion :)
I will send a v2 patch.


Best wishes,
