[PATCH v2 1/2] usb: typec: ucsi: fix probe failure in gaokun_ucsi_probe()

[Duoming Zhou]

The gaokun_ucsi_probe() uses ucsi_create() to allocate a UCSI instance.
The ucsi_create() validates whether ops->poll_cci is defined, and if not,
it directly returns -EINVAL. However, the gaokun_ucsi_ops structure does
not define the poll_cci, causing ucsi_create() always fail with -EINVAL.
This issue can be observed in the kernel log with the following error:

ucsi_huawei_gaokun.ucsi huawei_gaokun_ec.ucsi.0: probe with driver
ucsi_huawei_gaokun.ucsi failed with error -22

Fix the issue by adding the missing poll_cci callback to gaokun_ucsi_ops.

[PATCH v2 2/2] usb: typec: ucsi: fix use-after-free caused by uec->work

[Duoming Zhou]

The delayed work uec->work is scheduled in gaokun_ucsi_probe()
but never properly canceled in gaokun_ucsi_remove(). This creates
use-after-free scenarios where the ucsi and gaokun_ucsi structure
are freed after ucsi_destroy() completes execution, while the
gaokun_ucsi_register_worker() might be either currently executing
or still pending in the work queue. The already-freed gaokun_ucsi
or ucsi structure may then be accessed.

Furthermore, the race window is 3 seconds, which is sufficiently
long to make this bug easily reproducible. The following is the
trace captured by KASAN:
