Subject: [PATCH v2] usb: gadget: f_phonet: fix use-after-free in pn_bind
Date: Tue,  4 Aug 2026 15:44:32 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260804074432.2906951-1-khiemtranzo532001@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026080431-paragraph-caloric-0aae@gregkh>

pn_bind() and phonet_free_inst() race on opts->bound and opts->net.
If configfs removes the function instance while pn_bind() is between
the !bound check and setting bound = true, free_inst() frees opts->net
and pn_bind() then writes to net->dev.parent via gphonet_set_gadget().

The existing "no race condition" comment was wrong: configfs_rmdir()
can run independently of the composite bind sequence.

Add a mutex to f_phonet_opts and use scoped_guard(mutex) in both
pn_bind() and phonet_free_inst() to serialize access to ->bound and
->net. Add a kernel-doc comment describing what the lock protects,
and destroy the mutex before freeing opts.

Fixes: 00a2430ff07d ("usb: gadget: Gadget directory cleanup - group usb functions")

v2:
 - use scoped_guard(mutex) instead of open-coded lock/unlock
 - add kernel-doc comment on struct f_phonet_opts describing what
   @lock protects
 - add explicit #include <linux/mutex.h>
 - call mutex_destroy() before kfree(opts)
 - remove stale "no race condition" comment; explain why it was wrong
   in the commit message
