Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.19-6.12] usb: chipidea: udc: fix DMA and SG cleanup in _ep_nuke()
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 21:03:38 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260219020422.1539798-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260219020422.1539798-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Mario Peter <mario.peter@leica-geosystems.com>
[ Upstream commit cea2a1257a3b5ea3e769a445b34af13e6aa5a123 ]
The ChipIdea UDC driver can encounter "not page aligned sg buffer"
errors when a USB device is reconnected after being disconnected
during an active transfer. This occurs because _ep_nuke() returns
requests to the gadget layer without properly unmapping DMA buffers
or cleaning up scatter-gather bounce buffers.
Root cause:
When a disconnect happens during a multi-segment DMA transfer, the
request's num_mapped_sgs field and sgt.sgl pointer remain set with
stale values. The request is returned to the gadget driver with status
-ESHUTDOWN but still has active DMA state. If the gadget driver reuses
this request on reconnect without reinitializing it, the stale DMA
state causes _hardware_enqueue() to skip DMA mapping (seeing non-zero
num_mapped_sgs) and attempt to use freed/invalid DMA addresses,
leading to alignment errors and potential memory corruption.
The normal completion path via _hardware_dequeue() properly calls
usb_gadget_unmap_request_by_dev() and sglist_do_debounce() before
returning the request. The _ep_nuke() path must do the same cleanup
to ensure requests are returned in a clean, reusable state.
Fix:
Add DMA unmapping and bounce buffer cleanup to _ep_nuke() to mirror
the cleanup sequence in _hardware_dequeue():
- Call usb_gadget_unmap_request_by_dev() if num_mapped_sgs is set
- Call sglist_do_debounce() with copy=false if bounce buffer exists
This ensures that when requests are returned due to endpoint shutdown,
they don't retain stale DMA mappings. The 'false' parameter to
sglist_do_debounce() prevents copying data back (appropriate for
shutdown path where transfer was aborted).

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
This confirms:
1. `usb_gadget_unmap_request_by_dev()` at line 966 sets
`req->num_mapped_sgs = 0` - this is exactly what's needed to clear
the stale state
2. It also does `dma_unmap_sg()` at line 963 to properly unmap the DMA
buffers
3. Without this call in `_ep_nuke()`, the request is given back with
active DMA mappings and stale `num_mapped_sgs`
## 3. Assessment
### What the commit fixes:
- **DMA resource leak**: Requests returned via `_ep_nuke()` during
disconnect have active DMA mappings that are never unmapped, leaking
DMA resources
- **Stale state causing corruption**: The `num_mapped_sgs` field remains
non-zero, causing `_hardware_enqueue()` to skip DMA mapping on reuse
and instead use freed/invalid DMA addresses
- **Memory corruption**: Invalid DMA addresses lead to "not page aligned
sg buffer" errors and potential memory corruption
- **Bounce buffer leak**: SG bounce buffers (`sgt.sgl`) allocated via
`sglist_do_bounce()` are never freed, leaking memory
### Stable kernel criteria:
1. **Obviously correct**: The fix mirrors exactly what
`_hardware_dequeue()` (line 886-891) and `ep_dequeue()` (line
1738-1741) already do. It's a well-established pattern within the
same file.
2. **Fixes a real bug**: DMA corruption and resource leaks on USB
disconnect during active transfer.
3. **Important issue**: Memory corruption, stale DMA addresses,
potential data corruption.
4. **Small and contained**: Only 6 lines added, all within a single
function in a single file.
5. **No new features**: Pure bug fix.
### Risk assessment:
- **Very low risk**: The added code calls well-known cleanup functions
that are already called in the two other completion paths
(`_hardware_dequeue` and `ep_dequeue`). The `false` parameter to
`sglist_do_debounce` is appropriate as no data needs to be copied back
during shutdown.
- The `usb_gadget_unmap_request_by_dev()` call is safe even if no DMA
was mapped (it checks `req->length == 0`, `sg_was_mapped`, and
`num_mapped_sgs` before doing anything).
### Dependency consideration:
- The `sglist_do_debounce()` function was introduced in v6.13 (commit
edfcc455c85cc). For stable trees older than 6.13, only the
`usb_gadget_unmap_request_by_dev()` line would apply (the
`sglist_do_debounce` part would need to be dropped). However, the DMA
unmap portion is independently valuable.
- The `usb_gadget_unmap_request_by_dev()` function has existed for a
long time and is available in all active stable trees.
### Reviews/Acks:
- Reviewed-by: Xu Yang (NXP engineer, author of the bounce buffer code)
- Acked-by: Peter Chen (ChipIdea UDC subsystem maintainer)
- Applied by: Greg Kroah-Hartman (USB maintainer)
## Verification
- **Verified** `_hardware_dequeue()` at lines 886-891 performs the same
cleanup (DMA unmap + sglist debounce) - confirmed by reading the file
- **Verified** `ep_dequeue()` at lines 1738-1741 also performs the same
cleanup pattern - confirmed by reading the file
- **Verified** `usb_gadget_unmap_request_by_dev()` in
`drivers/usb/gadget/udc/core.c:956-972` clears `num_mapped_sgs` to 0
(line 966) and unmaps DMA - confirmed by reading the source
- **Verified** `_ep_nuke()` is called from multiple paths: disconnect
(line 1108), endpoint reset (lines 1326-1327), endpoint disable (line
1615) - confirmed by grep
- **Verified** `sglist_do_debounce()` was introduced in commit
`edfcc455c85cc` which first appeared in v6.13 - confirmed via `git tag
--contains`
- **Verified** the commit is self-contained: no other patches needed for
the fix to work in trees with v6.13+
- **Verified** commit has proper review: Reviewed-by (Xu Yang, bounce
buffer author), Acked-by (Peter Chen, subsystem maintainer)
- **Verified** `_hardware_enqueue()` at line 708 checks `num_mapped_sgs`
to decide whether to skip DMA mapping - this is the code path that
breaks when stale state remains
## Conclusion
This is a textbook stable backport candidate:
- Fixes a real, user-triggerable bug (USB disconnect during active
transfer)
- Causes memory corruption and DMA errors
- Small, surgical fix (6 lines added)
- Mirrors existing cleanup patterns already in the same file
- Reviewed and acked by subsystem experts
- Very low regression risk
- Affects real hardware users (ChipIdea UDC is used in NXP i.MX SoCs,
common in embedded/IoT)
**YES**
