[PATCH v2 0/4] usb: stop timers/works left armed on teardown

[PATCH v2 0/4] usb: stop timers/works left armed on teardown

[Chengyu Liu]

The teardown paths in these four drivers do not quiesce every producer
of asynchronous work before draining it: an interrupt handler may still
queue or re-arm a timer or work item after the cancellation, while the
corresponding object is being torn down.  In three of them the IRQ is
devm-managed and freed only at detach, after remove() returns; in musb
the plain free_irq() happens later in the same remove path.  Either way
a late interrupt re-arms the callback, which then runs on freed memory:

  [1/4] musb core: musb_stage0_irq() can schedule irq_work (and
        finish_resume_work on remote wakeup) from interrupt context,
        irq_work can also re-arm itself from the session recheck path,
        and musb_hub_control() can arm finish_resume_work and
        deassert_reset_work until the root hub is torn down;
        musb_remove() cancelled all three too early.
  [2/4] musb dsps glue: the devm VBUS interrupt outlives the child
        teardown that deletes musb->dev_timer; its handler re-arms
        the timer via dsps_mod_timer().
  [3/4] r8a66597: r8a66597_remove() deletes the timer while the devm
        IRQ can still re-arm it from the VBINT path.
  [4/4] gpio-vbus: gpio_vbus_remove() cancels the work while the devm
        GPIO interrupt can still re-arm it (100 ms debounce delay).

Two further instances of this defect class found in the same sweep -
pch_udc and lpc32xx_udc - are being handled in Hyunjung Ko's
"usb: gadget: pch_udc: drain vbus GPIO works before freeing the
device" and "usb: gadget: lpc32xx_udc: drain the pullup work on
removal" threads, so they are not part of this series.

Testing:
  [1-3/4] build-tested on x86_64 (COMPILE_TEST where needed); they
        require hardware we do not have, so no runtime reproducer.
  [4/4] additionally confirmed with a KASAN reproducer: the driver
        probed on a gpio-sim chip in QEMU, slab-use-after-free write
        in __run_timer_base() after unregister (5/5 runs), clean with
        the fix (0/5).  The KASAN report and the reproducer kit follow
        in this thread.

All found by static analysis.  Fixes written with AI assistance.

Changelog:
v2:
- [1/4] also move the finish_resume_work and deassert_reset_work
        cancels behind the interrupt quiesce, per Neill Kapron's
        review; finish_resume_work is armed from interrupt context as
        well (musb_handle_intr_resume()), and both it and
        deassert_reset_work can additionally be re-armed via
        musb_hub_control() until musb_host_cleanup() tears the host
        down.  Suggested-by added; Fixes tag corrected to
        commit f730f205cc51 ("usb: musb: Split PM runtime between wrapper IP and musb core")
- [2-4/4] unchanged; collected Neill Kapron's Reviewed-by.

[PATCH v2 1/4] usb: musb: cancel the delayed works after quiescing the interrupt

[Chengyu Liu]

musb_remove() cancels finish_resume_work and deassert_reset_work up
front, while the interrupt is still enabled and the root hub is still
registered, and cancels irq_work only later.  All three works can be
armed past their cancel:

- musb_handle_intr_resume() schedules finish_resume_work from
  interrupt context (RESUME in OTG_STATE_A_SUSPEND, via
  musb_stage0_irq());
- musb_hub_control() schedules finish_resume_work (ClearPortFeature
  SUSPEND -> musb_port_suspend()) and deassert_reset_work
  (SetPortFeature RESET -> musb_port_reset()) from process context,
  and the root hub is only torn down by musb_host_cleanup();
- musb_stage0_irq() schedules irq_work, which can also re-arm itself
  from the session recheck path (musb_pm_runtime_check_session()).

A work armed after its cancel runs musb_host_finish_resume(),
musb_deassert_reset() or musb_irq_work() after musb_free() has
released the struct.

Tear down the host and gadget sides first so no process-context
producer remains, mask the interrupts and synchronize the IRQ line so
no interrupt handler can be running, and only then cancel all three
works.  This also restores the pre-f730f205cc51 ordering, which had
the cancels behind the interrupt masking.

Found by static analysis.

v1 -> v2:
- also move the finish_resume_work and deassert_reset_work cancels
  behind the interrupt quiesce, per Neill Kapron's review:
  finish_resume_work is armed from interrupt context as well
  (musb_handle_intr_resume()), and both it and deassert_reset_work
  can additionally be re-armed via musb_hub_control() until
  musb_host_cleanup() tears the host down.
- correct the Fixes tag to f730f205cc51 (the 2016 PM-runtime split
  moved the cancels ahead of the interrupt masking)
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/20261112160448.41566-2-lui2012qwq@gmail.com/

[PATCH v2 2/4] usb: musb: dsps: free the VBUS interrupt before the child teardown

[Chengyu Liu]

dsps_remove() unregisters the musb child, which deletes
musb->dev_timer and frees the structure, while the glue's VBUS
interrupt is devm-managed and only freed after dsps_remove() returns.
dsps_vbus_threaded_irq() re-arms the timer via dsps_mod_timer(), so
a VBUS event in between re-arms dev_timer past its deletion and
otg_timer() runs on freed memory.

Free the VBUS interrupt first, which also waits for any in-flight
handler, so nothing can re-arm the timer once the child teardown
runs.

r8a66597_remove() deletes r8a66597->timer while the interrupt is

[PATCH v2 4/4] usb: phy: gpio-vbus: free the interrupt before cancelling the work

[Chengyu Liu]

gpio_vbus_remove() cancels gpio_vbus->work while the VBUS sensing GPIO
interrupt is still live: it is devm-managed and freed only at detach,
and gpio_vbus_irq() schedules the work with a 100 ms debounce delay.
A plug event landing after the cancel re-arms the work, and its timer
then fires on the freed gpio_vbus_data.

Free the interrupt first, which also waits for any running handler,
so nothing can re-arm the work past the cancel.

Found by static analysis and confirmed with a KASAN reproducer:
slab-use-after-free write in __run_timer_base() within one debounce
interval of unregistering the device while its VBUS GPIO is toggled
(object allocated by gpio_vbus_probe() via devm_kmalloc(), freed by
devres_release_all() at unbind).

The reproducer instantiates the unmodified driver on a gpio-sim
chip in QEMU and toggles the line while the device is unregistered;
it widens the remove()-to-detach window with a 500 ms sleep, logic
otherwise unmodified.  Repeated runs: 5/5 KASAN splats without the
fix, 0/5 with it.  The KASAN report and the reproducer kit follow
in this thread.  Also build-tested on x86_64 (USB_GPIO_VBUS).

Re: [PATCH v2 0/4] usb: stop timers/works left armed on teardown

[Chengyu Liu]

The KASAN report and the reproducer kit for the gpio-vbus instance
[4/4], as promised in the cover letter.  [4/4] is unchanged in v2,
so this is the same report and kit as posted in the v1 thread.

Environment: QEMU x86_64, generic KASAN kernel (v7.3-rc7 plus unrelated
local commits; config: KASAN/KASAN_GENERIC=y, GPIOLIB=y, GPIO_SIM=y,
CONFIGFS_FS=y, USB_GADGET=m, USB_GPIO_VBUS=m),
phy-gpio-vbus-usb built as a module.  The driver under test is
unmodified except for the disclosed 500 ms sleep widening the
remove()-to-detach window.

Setup: a one-line gpio-sim chip labelled "vbus-sim" stands in for the
VBUS sense GPIO; writing its "pull" sysfs attribute generates real GPIO
edge interrupts.  The vbus_rig module registers a gpiod lookup table and
the "gpio-vbus" platform device, so the real driver probes it, and
attaches a dummy usb_gadget to phy->otg->gadget so gpio_vbus_irq() takes
its normal schedule_delayed_work() path (a UDC provides this on real
hardware); the module fails to load if the phy cannot be attached, so a
clean run cannot be a setup artifact.  rmmod vbus_rig runs the real
gpio_vbus_remove() while the line is being toggled.

Results over repeated runs of the same script:

    vulnerable kernel: 5/5 runs, KASAN slab-use-after-free each time
    patched kernel:    5/5 runs, clean

Representative vulnerable splat (VBUS edges toggle at max rate while the
device is unregistered; an interrupt lands after the
cancel_delayed_work_sync(), re-arms the 100 ms debounce work, and the
work's timer fires after the devm release has freed gpio_vbus_data):

(The "gpiod_get_value can_sleep" WARNINGs earlier in the boot are a
gpio-sim artifact - simulated chips set can_sleep - and are unrelated
to the bug.  One of the five runs faulted in gpio_vbus_work() itself
instead of __run_timer_base(); same object, same free site.)

# PoC init: gpio-vbus teardown re-arm UAF (F-138)
#
# mode=vuln    : kernel has the unpatched gpio_vbus_remove() + a 500ms
#                POC-WITNESS msleep() after cancel_delayed_work_sync().
# mode=fixed   : kernel has the fix (devm_free_irq before the cancel)
#                plus the same witness sleep.
#
# A busy toggler flips the gpio-sim line pull (= VBUS edges) while
# rmmod runs the real remove path.  In vuln mode an edge lands after
# the cancel, re-arms the 100ms debounce work, and the work fires on
# the freed gpio_vbus_data -> KASAN slab-use-after-free.
#
# The toggler prints nothing; the console between "rmmod starts" and
# the verdict carries only kernel output.  If a run comes out clean,
# just run it again (IRQ delivery timing varies).
