Subject: [PATCH] usb: gadget: f_midi: cancel work before midi is freed
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 10:01:39 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260525150139.3038-1-adriank20047@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026052509-shelter-caucus-92e5@gregkh>
f_midi_disable() disables the USB endpoints but does not cancel the
pending work item before returning. Since f_midi uses the system
high-priority workqueue (system_highpri_wq) rather than a dedicated
workqueue, there is no implicit draining when the function is unbound.
The work item f_midi_in_work can therefore be scheduled via
queue_work() from f_midi_complete() or f_midi_in_trigger() and execute
after f_midi_free() has run, resulting in a use-after-free when
f_midi_transmit() accesses midi->in_ep, midi->transmit_lock,
midi->in_req_fifo and midi->in_ports_array.
This was introduced in commit 8653d71ce376 ("usb/gadget: f_midi:
Replace tasklet with work") which converted from tasklet_hi_schedule()
to queue_work() but omitted the cancel_work_sync() call needed to
ensure the work is not in flight when the structure is freed. Tasklets
did not require explicit cancellation in this path; workqueues do.
Fix by calling cancel_work_sync() in f_midi_disable() after disabling
the endpoints, ensuring no work item referencing midi can run after
teardown begins.
