Subject: [PATCH] USB: gadget: dummy-hcd: Fix locking bug in RT-enabled kernels
Yunseong Kim and the syzbot fuzzer both reported a problem in
RT-enabled kernels caused by the way dummy-hcd mixes interrupt
management and spin-locking. The pattern was:
local_irq_save(flags);
spin_lock(&dum->lock);
...
spin_unlock(&dum->lock);
... // calls usb_gadget_giveback_request()
local_irq_restore(flags);
The code was written this way because usb_gadget_giveback_request()
needs to be called with interrupts disabled and the private lock not
held.
While this pattern works fine in non-RT kernels, it's not good when RT
is enabled. RT kernels handle spinlocks much like mutexes; in particular,
spin_lock() may sleep. But sleeping is not allowed while local
interrupts are disabled.
To fix the problem, rewrite the code to conform to the pattern used
elsewhere in dummy-hcd and other UDC drivers:
spin_lock_irqsave(&dum->lock, flags);
...
spin_unlock(&dum->lock);
usb_gadget_giveback_request(...);
spin_lock(&dum->lock);
...
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dum->lock, flags);
This approach satisfies the RT requirements.

[ Upstream commit 7975f080d3557725160a878b1a64339043ba3d91 ]
To move the list iterator variable into the list_for_each_entry_*()
macro in the future it should be avoided to use the list iterator
variable after the loop body.
To *never* use the list iterator variable after the loop it was
concluded to use a separate iterator variable [1].
