Subject: [PATCH] drivers/media/rc: Fix a race condition in send_packet()
Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2022 10:32:14 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221019050214.107448-1-gautammenghani201@gmail.com> (raw)
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().
