Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 3/3] usb: gadget: f_acm: Refactor bind path to use __free()
Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2025 21:23:28 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251018012328.141282-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251018012328.141282-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Kuen-Han Tsai <khtsai@google.com>

[ Upstream commit 47b2116e54b4a854600341487e8b55249e926324 ]

After an bind/unbind cycle, the acm->notify_req is left stale. If a
subsequent bind fails, the unified error label attempts to free this
stale request, leading to a NULL pointer dereference when accessing
ep->ops->free_request.

Refactor the error handling in the bind path to use the __free()
automatic cleanup mechanism.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000020
