Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 3/3] usb: gadget: f_fs: Tie read_buffer lifetime to ffs_epfile
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 06:54:48 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720105452.216179-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260720105452.216179-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Neill Kapron <nkapron@google.com>
[ Upstream commit 8bdcf96eb135aebacac319667f87db034fb38406 ]
Currently, ffs_epfile_release unconditionally frees the endpoint's
read_buffer when a file descriptor is closed. If userspace explicitly
opens the endpoint multiple times and closes one, the read_buffer is
destroyed. This can lead to silent data loss if other file descriptors
are still actively reading from the endpoint.
By tying the lifetime of the read_buffer to the ffs_epfile structure itself
(which is destroyed when the functionfs instance is torn down in
ffs_epfiles_destroy), we eliminate the brittle dependency on open/release
calls while correctly matching the conceptual lifetime of unread data on
the hardware endpoint.
Fixes: 9353afbbfa7b ("usb: gadget: f_fs: buffer data from ‘oversized’ OUT requests")
