From: "hubert.buczynski" <Hubert.Buczynski.ext@xxxxxxx> The commit "5a444bea usb: gadget: u_serial: Set start_delayed during suspend" caused invocation of the gs_start_io in the gserial_resume. The gs_start_io doesn't check the ptr of the 'port.tty'. As a result, the tty_wakeup function is passed on to the NULL ptr causing kernel panic. There is a deterministic scenario leading to the kernel error: 1. Set the device in peripheral OTG mode. 2. Attach the USB cable to the host. 3. Do not take any action on the host side. 4. Send data to the host, for example: $ echo "hello\n" > /dev/ttyGS0 5. Disconnect the USB cable. 6. Connect the USB cable and the kernel panic should be visible.

After disconnecting the cable, gserial_suspend() is invoked and the port->start_delayed is set to true. Connecting the cable again causes invocation of the gserial_resume(). The callstack after connecting the cable looks like the following: gserial_resume() --> gs_start_io() --> tty_wakeup() - with NULL argument Fixes: 5a444bea37e2 ("usb: gadget: u_serial: Set start_delayed during suspend") Signed-off-by: hubert.buczynski <Hubert.Buczynski.ext@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/usb/gadget/function/u_serial.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/usb/gadget/function/u_serial.c b/drivers/usb/gadget/function/u_serial.c index 5111fcc0cac3..384f219fe01d 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/gadget/function/u_serial.c +++ b/drivers/usb/gadget/function/u_serial.c @@ -564,7 +564,7 @@ static int gs_start_io(struct gs_port *port) port->n_read = 0; started = gs_start_rx(port); - if (started) { + if (started && port->port.tty) { gs_start_tx(port); /* Unblock any pending writes into our circular buffer, in case * we didn't in gs_start_tx() */ -- 2.25.1
