commit 26fbe9772b8c459687930511444ce443011f86bf upstream.

The syzbot fuzzer has identified a bug in which processes hang waiting
for usb_kill_urb() to return.  It turns out the issue is not unlinking
the URB; that works just fine.  Rather, the problem arises when the
wakeup notification that the URB has completed is not received.

The reason is memory-access ordering on SMP systems.  In outline form,
usb_kill_urb() and __usb_hcd_giveback_urb() operating concurrently on
different CPUs perform the following actions:

CPU 0					CPU 1
----------------------------		---------------------------------
usb_kill_urb():				__usb_hcd_giveback_urb():
  ...					  ...
  atomic_inc(&amp;urb-&gt;reject);		  atomic_dec(&amp;urb-&gt;use_count);
  ...					  ...
  wait_event(usb_kill_urb_queue,
	atomic_read(&amp;urb-&gt;use_count) == 0);
					  if (atomic_read(&amp;urb-&gt;reject))
						wake_up(&amp;usb_kill_urb_queue);

Confining your attention to urb-&gt;reject and urb-&gt;use_count, you can
see that the overall pattern of accesses on CPU 0 is:

	write urb-&gt;reject, then read urb-&gt;use_count;

whereas the overall pattern of accesses on CPU 1 is:

	write urb-&gt;use_count, then read urb-&gt;reject.

This pattern is referred to in memory-model circles as SB (for "Store
Buffering"), and it is well known that without suitable enforcement of
the desired order of accesses -- in the form of memory barriers -- it
is entirely possible for one or both CPUs to execute their reads ahead
of their writes.  The end result will be that sometimes CPU 0 sees the
old un-decremented value of urb-&gt;use_count while CPU 1 sees the old
un-incremented value of urb-&gt;reject.  Consequently CPU 0 ends up on
the wait queue and never gets woken up, leading to the observed hang
in usb_kill_urb().

The same pattern of accesses occurs in usb_poison_urb() and the
failure pathway of usb_hcd_submit_urb().

The problem is fixed by adding suitable memory barriers.  To provide
proper memory-access ordering in the SB pattern, a full barrier is
required on both CPUs.  The atomic_inc() and atomic_dec() accesses
themselves don't provide any memory ordering, but since they are
present, we can use the optimized smp_mb__after_atomic() memory
barrier in the various routines to obtain the desired effect.

This patch adds the necessary memory barriers.

<title>usb: core: Solve race condition in anchor cleanup functions</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e7945486481f1863f89a8e3b23ce9f4b774092ed</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit fbc299437c06648afcc7891e6e2e6638dd48d4df ]

usb_kill_anchored_urbs() is commonly used to cancel all URBs on an
anchor just before releasing resources which the URBs rely on. By doing
so, users of this function rely on that no completer callbacks will take
place from any URB on the anchor after it returns.

However if this function is called in parallel with __usb_hcd_giveback_urb
processing a URB on the anchor, the latter may call the completer
callback after usb_kill_anchored_urbs() returns. This can lead to a
kernel panic due to use after release of memory in interrupt context.

The race condition is that __usb_hcd_giveback_urb() first unanchors the URB
and then makes the completer callback. Such URB is hence invisible to
usb_kill_anchored_urbs(), allowing it to return before the completer has
been called, since the anchor's urb_list is empty.

Even worse, if the racing completer callback resubmits the URB, it may
remain in the system long after usb_kill_anchored_urbs() returns.

Hence list_empty(&amp;anchor-&gt;urb_list), which is used in the existing
while-loop, doesn't reliably ensure that all URBs of the anchor are gone.

A similar problem exists with usb_poison_anchored_urbs() and
usb_scuttle_anchored_urbs().

This patch adds an external do-while loop, which ensures that all URBs
are indeed handled before these three functions return. This change has
no effect at all unless the race condition occurs, in which case the
loop will busy-wait until the racing completer callback has finished.
This is a rare condition, so the CPU waste of this spinning is
negligible.

The additional do-while loop relies on usb_anchor_check_wakeup(), which
returns true iff the anchor list is empty, and there is no
__usb_hcd_giveback_urb() in the system that is in the middle of the
unanchor-before-complete phase. The @suspend_wakeups member of
struct usb_anchor is used for this purpose, which was introduced to solve
another problem which the same race condition causes, in commit
6ec4147e7bdb ("usb-anchor: Delay usb_wait_anchor_empty_timeout wake up
till completion is done").

The surely_empty variable is necessary, because usb_anchor_check_wakeup()
must be called with the lock held to prevent races. However the spinlock
must be released and reacquired if the outer loop spins with an empty
URB list while waiting for the unanchor-before-complete passage to finish:
The completer callback may very well attempt to take the very same lock.

To summarize, using usb_anchor_check_wakeup() means that the patched
functions can return only when the anchor's list is empty, and there is
no invisible URB being processed. Since the inner while loop finishes on
the empty list condition, the new do-while loop will terminate as well,
except for when the said race condition occurs.

commit e901b9873876ca30a09253731bd3a6b00c44b5b0 upstream.

This patch adds a new helper function to perform a sanity check of the
given URB to see whether it contains a valid endpoint.  It's a light-
weight version of what usb_submit_urb() does, but without the kernel
warning followed by the stack trace, just returns an error code.

Especially for a driver that doesn't parse the descriptor but fills
the URB with the fixed endpoint (e.g. some quirks for non-compliant
devices), this kind of check is preferable at the probe phase before
actually submitting the urb.

commit 1cd17f7f0def31e3695501c4f86cd3faf8489840 upstream.

Explicitly initialize URB structure urb_list field in usb_init_urb().
This field can be potentially accessed uninitialized and its
initialization is coherent with the usage of list_del_init() in
usb_hcd_unlink_urb_from_ep() and usb_giveback_urb_bh() and its
explicit initialization in usb_hcd_submit_urb() error path.

commit 2f964780c03b73de269b08d12aff96a9618d13f3 upstream.

Format specifier %p can leak kernel addresses while not valuing the
kptr_restrict system settings. When kptr_restrict is set to (1), kernel
pointers printed using the %pK format specifier will be replaced with
Zeros. Debugging Note : &amp;pK prints only Zeros as address. If you need
actual address information, write 0 to kptr_restrict.

echo 0 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict

[Found by poking around in a random vendor kernel tree, it would be nice
if someone would actually send these types of patches upstream - gkh]

Add a new USB_SPEED_SUPER_PLUS device speed, and make sure usb core can
handle the new speed.
In most cases the behaviour is the same as with USB_SPEED_SUPER SuperSpeed
devices. In a few places we add a "Plus" string to inform the user of the
new speed.

Section 4.4.7.2 "Interrupt Transfer Bandwidth Requirements" of the USB3.0 spec
says:
	A zero-length data payload is a valid transfer and may be useful for
	some implementations.

So, extend the logic of allowing URB_ZERO_PACKET to interrupt urbs too.
Otherwise, the kernel throws warning of BOGUS transfer flags.
