Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: garmin_gps: fix deadlock on reset request
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 11:18:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029101828.865915-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
The garmin_gps driver has a reset feature that is supposed to reset the
device when writing a private reset request packet. The reset is however
done synchronously from the write() callback (and without holding the
required device lock) which leads to a deadlock in the line discipline
when hanging up the port as part of disconnect.
Switch to using the asynchronous reset interface while dropping the
redundant and synchronous stopping of the interrupt urb (write()
callbacks are supposed to be atomic and USB core, USB serial core and
the driver itself will unlink and kill all URBs during disconnect).
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
