Subject: [PATCH] usb: atm: cxacru: properly kill rcv_urb on error in cxacru_cm()
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 10:15:20 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <91edfa4c-a63d-400c-9f00-31f3e1f98c00@mail.kernel.org> (raw)
From: Aleksandr Nogikh <nogikh@google.com>
If cxacru_cm() encounters an error while submitting or waiting for snd_urb,
it aborts and returns the error without killing the already submitted
rcv_urb. This leaves the rcv_urb active.
When this happens during initialization (e.g., in cxacru_atm_start()), the
driver may ignore the error and proceed to call cxacru_poll_status(), which
invokes cxacru_cm() again. Attempting to submit the still-active rcv_urb
triggers a warning in usb_submit_urb():
cxacru 1-1:1.0: send of cm 0x84 failed (-104)
ATM dev 0: cxacru_atm_start: CHIP_ADSL_LINE_START returned -104
------------[ cut here ]------------
URB ffff88812658d200 submitted while active

To fix this, ensure that rcv_urb is properly killed if cxacru_cm() aborts
early. We can safely call usb_kill_urb() on rcv_urb in the error path, as
it is safe to call even if the URB is not active (e.g., if it failed to
submit in the first place, or if it already completed).
