Subject: [PATCH] usb: gadget: f_loopback: fix descriptor leak on unbind
Date: Sat,  8 Aug 2026 18:15:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260808181504.462492-1-nagachaithanya9911@gmail.com> (raw)

loopback_bind() allocates descriptor copies through
usb_assign_descriptors(), but f_loopback does not release them during
the unbind path. On every bind/unbind cycle of the gadget (for example
by repeatedly writing the UDC attribute through configfs) a new set of
descriptors is allocated while the previous ones are leaked. syzbot
reported this via kmemleak:

  BUG: memory leak
  unreferenced object 0xffff888016b8f180 (size 64):
    comm "repro", pid 5613
    backtrace:
      __kmalloc_noprof+0x3bf/0x550
      usb_copy_descriptors+0x6c/0x160
      usb_assign_descriptors+0x48/0x180
      loopback_bind+0xff/0x120
      usb_add_function+0xca/0x270
      configfs_composite_bind+0x667/0x9b0
      gadget_bind_driver+0xed/0x390

Move descriptor cleanup to a new loopback_unbind() callback that frees
them with usb_free_all_descriptors(), matching the lifecycle used by
other gadget functions such as f_acm. With descriptors released during
unbind, the usb_free_all_descriptors() call in lb_free_func() becomes
redundant and can be removed.

Fixes: 10287baec761 ("usb: gadget: always update HS/SS descriptors and create a copy of them")
