Hello, When fuzzing the Linux kernel driver v5.18.0, the following crash was triggered. HEAD commit: 4b0986a3613c92f4ec1bdc7f60ec66fea135991f (HEAD, tag: v5.18) git tree: upstream kernel config: https://pastebin.com/KecL2gaG C reproducer: https://pastebin.com/ZX3ZtZZ4 console output: https://pastebin.com/UYyiRL3E Basically, in the c reproducer, we use the gadget module to emulate the process of attaching a usb device (vendor id: 0x13d3, product id: 0x3340, with function: ms_null and midi_null). To reproduce this crash, we utilize a third-party library to emulate the attaching process: https://github.com/linux-usb-gadgets/libusbgx. Just clone this repository, make install it, and compile the c reproducer with ``` gcc crash.c -lusbgx -o crash ``` will do the trick. It seems that there is a deadlock happened in function usb_stor_post_reset The crash report is as follow: ``` usb 7-1: r8712u: Loading firmware from "rtlwifi/rtl8712u.bin" ============================================ WARNING: possible recursive locking detected 5.18.0 #3 Not tainted -------------------------------------------- kworker/1:3/1205 is trying to acquire lock: ffff888018638db8 (&us_interface_key[i]){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: usb_stor_pre_reset+0x35/0x40 drivers/usb/storage/usb.c:230 but task is already holding lock: ffff888018638db8 (&us_interface_key[i]){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: usb_stor_pre_reset+0x35/0x40 drivers/usb/storage/usb.c:230 other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(&us_interface_key[i]);
