Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] usb: gadget: f_ncm: Fix atomic context locking issue
Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2026 22:48:16 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260221-legacy-ncm-v2-2-dfb891d76507@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260221-legacy-ncm-v2-0-dfb891d76507@google.com>

The ncm_set_alt function was holding a mutex to protect against races
with configfs, which invokes the might-sleep function inside an atomic
context.

Remove the struct net_device pointer from the f_ncm_opts structure to
eliminate the contention. The connection state is now managed by a new
boolean flag to preserve the use-after-free fix from
commit 6334b8e4553c ("usb: gadget: f_ncm: Fix UAF ncm object at re-bind
after usb ep transport error").

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context
Call Trace:
 dump_stack_lvl+0x83/0xc0
 dump_stack+0x14/0x16
 __might_resched+0x389/0x4c0
 __might_sleep+0x8e/0x100

 ncm_set_alt+0x209/0xa40
