Subject: [PATCH] HID: synchronize input before cleaning up a failed probe
Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2026 02:58:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260628005846.31248-1-alhouseenyousef@gmail.com> (raw)
hid_device_io_start() allows reports to run concurrently with probe. If
the probe subsequently fails, __hid_device_probe() releases driver
resources and clears hdev->driver without first excluding those report
callbacks.
For example, a report may enter hidraw_report_event() while the failure
path frees the associated hidraw object, leading to a use-after-free when
the report takes the object's list lock.
Stop input before performing failed-probe cleanup. This reacquires
driver_input_lock and waits for any report callback already in progress.
Fixes: c849a6143bec ("HID: Separate struct hid_device's driver_lock into two locks.")
Reported-by: syzbot+9eebf5f6544c5e873858@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=9eebf5f6544c5e873858
