Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 3/3] usb: gadget: f_ecm: Refactor bind path to use __free()
Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2025 21:02:55 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251018010255.104362-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251018010255.104362-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Kuen-Han Tsai <khtsai@google.com>
[ Upstream commit 42988380ac67c76bb9dff8f77d7ef3eefd50b7b5 ]
After an bind/unbind cycle, the ecm->notify_req is left stale. If a
subsequent bind fails, the unified error label attempts to free this
stale request, leading to a NULL pointer dereference when accessing
ep->ops->free_request.
Refactor the error handling in the bind path to use the __free()
automatic cleanup mechanism.
Fixes: da741b8c56d6 ("usb ethernet gadget: split CDC Ethernet function")
