Subject: [PATCH v2] media: usb: siano: fix URB work teardown
Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2026 11:09:22 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260601150922.52822-1-rohithmatham@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260601061855.47423-1-rohithmatham@gmail.com>
smsusb_onresponse() reinitializes the URB work item immediately before
scheduling it. If teardown races with a queued work item,
cancel_work_sync() can observe workqueue state with WORK_STRUCT_PWQ
still set and trip the workqueue warning reported by syzbot.
The teardown path also has two related lifetime bugs: URB_FREE_BUFFER
makes USB core free a smscore-owned buffer, and a work item can submit
an URB after usb_kill_urb() has already returned.
Initialize each work item once before URB allocation, remove
URB_FREE_BUFFER, stop resubmission before killing URBs, and kill URBs
again after canceling work so any URB submitted by an already-running
worker is completed before buffers and the device are freed.
Fixes: ebad8e731c1c ("media: usb: siano: Fix use after free bugs caused by do_submit_urb")

Changes in v2:
- Initialize all work items before allocating URBs.
- Remove URB_FREE_BUFFER from smscore-owned buffers.
- Stop resubmission before teardown and kill URBs again after canceling work.
