[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 12/26] usb: gadget: u_ether: Do not make UDC parent of the net device

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 321b59870f850a10dbb211ecd2bd87b41497ea6f ]

The UDC is not a suitable parent of the net device as the UDC can
change or vanish during the lifecycle of the ethernet gadget. This
can be illustrated with the following:

mkdir -p /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/mygadget
cd /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/mygadget
mkdir -p configs/c.1/strings/0x409
echo "C1:Composite Device" > configs/c.1/strings/0x409/configuration
mkdir -p functions/ecm.usb0
ln -s functions/ecm.usb0 configs/c.1/
echo "dummy_udc.0" > UDC
rmmod dummy_hcd

The 'rmmod' removes the UDC from the just created gadget, leaving
the still existing net device with a no longer existing parent.

Accessing the ethernet device with commands like:

ip --details link show usb0

will result in a KASAN splat:

Solve this by not setting the parent of the ethernet device.
