Subject: usbnet: include wait queue head in device structure
From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@xxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 14a0d635d18d0fb552dcc979d6d25106e6541f2e ]
This fixes a race which happens by freeing an object on the stack.
Quoting Julius:
> The issue is
> that it calls usbnet_terminate_urbs() before that, which temporarily
> installs a waitqueue in dev->wait in order to be able to wait on the
> tasklet to run and finish up some queues. The waiting itself looks
> okay, but the access to 'dev->wait' is totally unprotected and can
> race arbitrarily. I think in this case usbnet_bh() managed to succeed
> it's dev->wait check just before usbnet_terminate_urbs() sets it back
> to NULL. The latter then finishes and the waitqueue_t structure on its
> stack gets overwritten by other functions halfway through the
> wake_up() call in usbnet_bh().
The fix is to just not allocate the data structure on the stack.
As dev->wait is abused as a flag it also takes a runtime PM change
to fix this bug.
