Subject: [PATCH] net: usb: Remove disruptive netif_wake_queue in rtl8150_set_multicast
Date: Sat, 20 Sep 2025 10:20:59 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250920045059.48400-1-viswanathiyyappan@gmail.com> (raw)
syzbot reported WARNING in rtl8150_start_xmit/usb_submit_urb.
This is a possible sequence of events:
CPU0 (in rtl8150_start_xmit) CPU1 (in rtl8150_start_xmit) CPU2 (in rtl8150_set_multicast)
netif_stop_queue();
netif_stop_queue();
usb_submit_urb();
netif_wake_queue(); <-- Wakes up TX queue before it's ready
netif_stop_queue();
usb_submit_urb(); <-- Warning
freeing urb
Remove netif_wake_queue and corresponding netif_stop_queue in rtl8150_set_multicast to
prevent this sequence of events
