This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled usbnet: include wait queue head in device structure to the 3.10-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: usbnet-include-wait-queue-head-in-device-structure.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Fri Apr 11 08:46:36 PDT 2014 From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@xxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2014 14:32:51 +0100 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.
