In the process of switching USB config from rndis to other config, if the hardware does not support the ->pullup callback, or the hardware encounters a low probability fault, both of them may cause the ->pullup callback to fail, which will then cause a system panic (use after free). The gadget drivers sometimes need to be unloaded regardless of the hardware's behavior.

V2 -> V3: Solved the format issues of Fixes and backtraces. V1 -> V2: V1 will affect the original function, V2 just move the callback after "if" statement, so that the original function will not be affected. And fixed formatting issues. drivers/usb/gadget/udc/core.c | 12 ++++++------ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/core.c b/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/core.c index c63c0c2cf649..bf9878e1a72a 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/core.c +++ b/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/core.c @@ -734,13 +734,13 @@ int usb_gadget_disconnect(struct usb_gadget *gadget) } ret = gadget->ops->pullup(gadget, 0); - if (!ret) { + if (!ret) gadget->connected = 0; - mutex_lock(&udc_lock); - if (gadget->udc->driver) - gadget->udc->driver->disconnect(gadget); - mutex_unlock(&udc_lock); - } + + mutex_lock(&udc_lock); + if (gadget->udc->driver) + gadget->udc->driver->disconnect(gadget); + mutex_unlock(&udc_lock); out: trace_usb_gadget_disconnect(gadget, ret); -- 2.17.1
