This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled media: imon: fix a race condition in send_packet() to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: media-imon-fix-a-race-condition-in-send_packet.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 01a88de0109b797db8f5a67a8edf1e880ccf46e2 Author: Gautam Menghani <gautammenghani201@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Oct 19 06:02:14 2022 +0100 media: imon: fix a race condition in send_packet() [ Upstream commit 813ceef062b53d68f296aa3cb944b21a091fabdb ] The function send_packet() has a race condition as follows: func send_packet() { // do work call usb_submit_urb() mutex_unlock() wait_for_event_interruptible() <-- lock gone mutex_lock() } func vfd_write() { mutex_lock() call send_packet() <- prev call is not completed mutex_unlock() } When the mutex is unlocked and the function send_packet() waits for the call to complete, vfd_write() can start another call, which leads to the "URB submitted while active" warning in usb_submit_urb(). Fix this by removing the mutex_unlock() call in send_packet() and using mutex_lock_interruptible().
