This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled USB: iowarrior: fix use-after-free on disconnect to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From edc4746f253d907d048de680a621e121517f484b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 9 Oct 2019 12:48:41 +0200 Subject: USB: iowarrior: fix use-after-free on disconnect A recent fix addressing a deadlock on disconnect introduced a new bug by moving the present flag out of the critical section protected by the driver-data mutex. This could lead to a racing release() freeing the driver data before disconnect() is done with it. Due to insufficient locking a related use-after-free could be triggered also before the above mentioned commit. Specifically, the driver needs to hold the driver-data mutex also while checking the opened flag at disconnect(). Fixes: c468a8aa790e ("usb: iowarrior: fix deadlock on disconnect") Fixes: 946b960d13c1 ("USB: add driver for iowarrior devices.")
