Subject: [PATCH 2/2] xhci: Give back URB under lock in xhci_urb_dequeue()
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 04:02:36 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113041948.1280304-3-rickyniu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113041948.1280304-1-rickyniu@google.com>
Before commit 36dc01657b49 ("usb: host: xhci: Support running urb
giveback in tasklet context") set HCD_BH, usb_hcd_giveback_urb() ran
urb->complete() synchronously, so xHCI had to drop xhci->lock before
giving back an URB. That commit updated xhci_giveback_urb_in_irq() to
keep xhci->lock held across usb_hcd_giveback_urb(), covering normal
completions, xhci_process_cancelled_tds(), and xhci_hc_died(), while
the open-coded err_giveback path in xhci_urb_dequeue() was missed.
Dropping xhci->lock between usb_hcd_unlink_urb_from_ep() and
usb_hcd_giveback_urb() breaks per-endpoint giveback serialization: a
concurrent xhci_urb_dequeue() or xhci_hc_died() can acquire xhci->lock
and queue a later URB onto bh->head ahead of this one, completing URBs
out of order. When spinlocks disable interrupts, unlocking first also
causes a redundant IRQ restore/save bounce into bh->lock, and without
an IRQ-safe bh->lock it exposed task-context unlinks to a same-CPU
deadlock.
Move usb_hcd_giveback_urb() before spin_unlock_irqrestore(&xhci->lock,
flags) in err_giveback to match xhci_giveback_urb_in_irq().
Fixes: 36dc01657b49 ("usb: host: xhci: Support running urb giveback in tasklet context")
