Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] usb: gadget: u_serial: Fix race condition in TTY wakeup
Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2025 13:07:12 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250617050844.1848232-2-khtsai@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250617050844.1848232-1-khtsai@google.com>
A race condition occurs when gs_start_io() calls either gs_start_rx() or
gs_start_tx(), as those functions briefly drop the port_lock for
usb_ep_queue(). This allows gs_close() and gserial_disconnect() to clear
port.tty and port_usb, respectively.
Use the null-safe TTY Port helper function to wake up TTY.
Example
CPU1: CPU2:
gserial_connect() // lock
gs_close() // await lock
gs_start_rx() // unlock
usb_ep_queue()
gs_close() // lock, reset port.tty and unlock
gs_start_rx() // lock
tty_wakeup() // NPE
Fixes: 35f95fd7f234 ("TTY: usb/u_serial, use tty from tty_port")
