While performing fast composition switch, there is a possibility that the
process of ffs_ep0_write/ffs_ep0_read get into a race condition
due to ep0req being freed up from functionfs_unbind.
Consider the scenario that the ffs_ep0_write calls the ffs_ep0_queue_wait
by taking a lock &ffs->ev.waitq.lock. However, the functionfs_unbind isn't
bounded so it can go ahead and mark the ep0req to NULL, and since there
is no NULL check in ffs_ep0_queue_wait we will end up in use-after-free.
Fix this by introducing a NULL check before any req operation.
Also to ensure the serialization, perform the ep0req ops inside
spinlock &ffs->ev.waitq.lock.

This doesn't sound right - if we set ep0req to NULL then we've called
usb_ep_free_request() on it so the request is not longer valid.
Yes I agree as soon as we spin_unlock it the functionfs_unbind will execute
and free_up the req, so performing and ep_queue after that even if it is a
local copy could be fatal.
ret = usb_ep_queue(ffs->gadget->ep0, req, GFP_ATOMIC);
if (unlikely(ret < 0))
return ret;
spin_unlock_irq(&ffs->ev.waitq.lock);
We can move the spin_unlock after to queue operation perhaps ?
I don't think it's that simple. The documentation for
usb_ep_free_request() says:
* Caller guarantees the request is not queued, and that it will
* no longer be requeued (or otherwise used).
so some extra synchronisation is required here.
By the time we get to functionfs_unbind() everything should be disabled
by ffs_func_disable() and ffs_func_unbind() has drained the workqueue,
but none of that applies to ep0.
I think ffs_unbind() needs to dequeue the ep0 request.
In addition to that, I think we need a new ep0 status variable in struct
ffs_data so that req is not accessed after wait_for_completion() in
__ffs_ep0_queue_wait() and that status is set in ffs_ep0_complete().
With the spin_unlock_irq() moved to immediately before
wait_for_completion() in __ffs_ep0_queue_wait() it looks like everything
is then safe.
Thanks for the suggestions, let me try implementing it.
