Subject: Re: [PATCH] usb: core: fix GPF on disconnect when interface claimed before registration
Author: khiemtranzo532001@gmail.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
master

usb_driver_claim_interface() sets dev->driver unconditionally before
checking device_is_registered(dev).  When called from usb_audio_probe()
during configuration, the interface device has not been added to the
driver core yet (device_add() is called later in usb_set_configuration()).

As a result, knode_driver is never attached to the driver's klist, but
dev->driver is set.  On subsequent disconnect, bus_remove_device() calls
__device_release_driver(), which calls klist_remove(&dev->p->knode_driver)
unconditionally on the uninitialized node, causing a general protection
fault:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference
  RIP: klist_remove+0x...
  Call Trace:
   __device_release_driver
   bus_remove_device
   device_del
   usb_disable_device
   usb_disconnect

Fix this by deferring the assignment of dev->driver for interfaces that
are not yet registered.  Instead, record the claim via two new fields in
struct usb_interface: a claimed bitflag and a claimed_driver pointer.
After device_add() completes in usb_set_configuration(), call
device_bind_driver() explicitly for claimed interfaces.

device_bind_driver() skips ->probe() (which is exactly what usb_audio
needs — PCM and MIDI devices are created before bind), but it does
attach knode_driver to the driver's klist, making teardown safe.

The else-if branch in dd.c that handles dev->driver already set at
device_add() time (used by w1, usb_port, ccwgroup, pata_parport, and
others) is intentionally left untouched.
