Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: garmin_gps: queue the device reset
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 15:29:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026102733-prayer-drainer-56f3@gregkh> (raw)

From: Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com>

A private packet with the ID PRIV_PKTID_RESET_REQ that is written to the
port makes garmin_write() call usb_kill_urb() and usb_reset_device().
Both sleep, but the write operation of a tty driver must not: a line
discipline may call it in atomic context, synchronous PPP for one under
a spinlock with bottom halves disabled.  In addition usb_reset_device()
has to be called with the device locked, which it is not here.

The reset also unbinds the driver inside the write: the disconnect hangs
the tty up, ppp_sync_close() calls ppp_unregister_channel(), and that
spins on pch->downl, which the writer holds.  The CPU is lost.

Unlink the URB and use usb_queue_reset_device(), which locks the device
and resets it from a work item.

Johan, this was sent to me, but I really don't know if PPP is used for
this device to talk to the port or not.  If not, this isn't a real
issue, but if it is, then maybe it is?  I can't tell so I'm tossing it
to you :)
