Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 2/2] usb: gadget: at91_udc: drain polled-VBUS timer/work before udc is freed
Date: Fri,  4 Sep 2026 09:50:23 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904135023.585066-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904135023.585066-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Fan Wu <fanwu01@zju.edu.cn>

[ Upstream commit c27d13ce4bab80fbdf6523928071b6c24b37606c ]

In polled-VBUS mode (board.vbus_pin && board.vbus_polled), probe arms a
self-restarting cycle: at91_vbus_timer() schedules vbus_timer_work, and
at91_vbus_timer_work() calls at91_vbus_update() and re-arms the timer via
mod_timer(). Both recover the same udc through container_of and dereference
it on every iteration.

Neither teardown path cancels this cycle. udc is devm-allocated, so it is
freed after at91udc_remove() returns, and is likewise freed when probe
fails and devres runs. A timer callback or work item that is pending or
running at either point dereferences the freed udc.

Add at91_udc_shutdown_vbus_timer() and call it from at91udc_remove() and
from the usb_add_gadget_udc() failure path in probe; the remaining probe
error paths fail before the timer is armed. timer_shutdown_sync() waits
for a running callback and clears timer->function, which makes the work
handler's mod_timer() a permanent no-op; cancel_work_sync() then drains
any pending or running work whose re-arm attempt now does nothing. The
timer must be shut down first, since cancelling the work alone would let
the timer re-queue it. The guard mirrors probe: in IRQ mode the timer and
work_struct are never initialized.

This does not require a fault; a normal driver unbind can interleave with
an already queued work item.

This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.
