commit 2796646f6d892c1eb6818c7ca41fdfa12568e8d1 upstream.

ffs_epfile_dmabuf_io_complete() calls usb_ep_free_request() on the
completed request but leaves priv-&gt;req, the back-pointer that
ffs_dmabuf_transfer() set on submission, pointing at the freed
memory.  A later FUNCTIONFS_DMABUF_DETACH ioctl or
ffs_epfile_release() on the close path still sees priv-&gt;req
non-NULL under ffs-&gt;eps_lock:

    if (priv-&gt;ep &amp;&amp; priv-&gt;req)
            usb_ep_dequeue(priv-&gt;ep, priv-&gt;req);

so usb_ep_dequeue() is called on a freed usb_request.

On dummy_hcd the dequeue path only walks a live queue and
pointer-compares, so the freed pointer reads without faulting and
KASAN requires an explicit check at the FunctionFS call site to
surface the use-after-free.  On SG-capable in-tree UDCs the
dequeue path dereferences the supplied request immediately:

  * chipidea's ep_dequeue() does
    container_of(req, struct ci_hw_req, req) and reads
    hwreq-&gt;req.status before acquiring its own lock.
  * cdnsp's cdnsp_gadget_ep_dequeue() reads request-&gt;status first.

The narrower option of clearing priv-&gt;req via cmpxchg() in the
completion does not close the race: the completion runs without
eps_lock, so a cancel path holding eps_lock can still observe
priv-&gt;req non-NULL, race a concurrent completion that clears and
frees, and pass the freed pointer to usb_ep_dequeue().  A slightly
longer fix that moves the free into the cleanup work is needed.

Same class of lifetime race as the recent usbip-vudc timer fix [1].

Take eps_lock in the sole place that mutates priv-&gt;req from the
callback direction by moving usb_ep_free_request() out of the
completion into ffs_dmabuf_cleanup(), the existing work handler
scheduled by ffs_dmabuf_signal_done() on
ffs-&gt;io_completion_wq.  Clear priv-&gt;req there under eps_lock
before freeing, and only clear if priv-&gt;req still names our
request (a subsequent ffs_dmabuf_transfer() on the same
attachment may have queued a new one).

This keeps the existing dummy_hcd sync-dequeue invariant: the
completion callback is still invoked by the UDC without
eps_lock held (dummy_hcd drops its own lock before calling the
callback), and the callback now takes no f_fs lock at all.
Serialization against the cancel path happens in cleanup, which
runs from the workqueue with no f_fs lock held on entry.

The priv ref count protects the containing ffs_dmabuf_priv:
ffs_dmabuf_transfer() takes a ref via ffs_dmabuf_get(), cleanup
drops it via ffs_dmabuf_put(), so priv stays live for the
cleanup even after the cancel path's list_del + ffs_dmabuf_put.

The ffs_dmabuf_transfer() error path no longer frees usb_req
inline: fence-&gt;req and fence-&gt;ep are set before usb_ep_queue(),
so ffs_dmabuf_cleanup() (scheduled by the error-path
ffs_dmabuf_signal_done()) owns the free regardless of whether
the queue succeeded.

Reproduced under KASAN on both detach and close paths against
dummy_hcd with an observability hook
(kasan_check_byte(priv-&gt;req) immediately before usb_ep_dequeue)
at the two FunctionFS cancel sites to surface the stale-pointer
access; the hook is not part of this patch.  The KASAN
allocator / free stacks in the captured splats identify the
same request: alloc in dummy_alloc_request, free in
dummy_timer, fault reached from ffs_epfile_release (close) and
from the FUNCTIONFS_DMABUF_DETACH ioctl (detach).  With the
patch applied, both paths are silent under the same hook.

The bug is reached from the FunctionFS device node, which in
real deployments is owned by the privileged gadget daemon
(adbd, UMS, composite gadget services, etc.); it is not
reachable from unprivileged userspace or from a USB host on the
cable.  FunctionFS mounts default to GLOBAL_ROOT_UID, but the
filesystem supports uid=, gid=, and fmode= delegation to a
non-root gadget daemon, so on real deployments the attacker may
be a less-privileged service rather than root.

<title>usb: gadget: f_fs: copy only received bytes on short ep0 read</title>

<id>urn:sha1:88874a19b2b093bfaaa1c0090fa536c44da8c08b</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 4e036c10e7f4df5d951c69cc3697bc8e209c6d02 upstream.

ffs_ep0_read() allocates its control-OUT data buffer with
kmalloc() (not kzalloc) at the Length value from the Setup
packet, then copies that full len to userspace regardless of
how many bytes were actually received:

    data = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
    ...
    ret = __ffs_ep0_queue_wait(ffs, data, len);
    if ((ret &gt; 0) &amp;&amp; (copy_to_user(buf, data, len)))
            ret = -EFAULT;

__ffs_ep0_queue_wait() returns req-&gt;actual, which on a short
control OUT transfer is strictly less than len.  The
copy_to_user() call still copies len bytes, so on a short OUT
the last (len - ret) bytes of the kmalloc() buffer --
uninitialised slab residue -- are delivered to the FunctionFS
daemon.

Short ep0 OUT completions are specified USB control-transfer
behavior and are produced by in-tree UDCs:

  * dwc2 continues on req-&gt;actual &lt; req-&gt;length for ep0 DATA OUT
    (short-not-ok is the only ep0-OUT stall path).
  * aspeed_udc ends ep0 OUT on rx_len &lt; ep-&gt;ep.maxpacket.
  * renesas_usbf logs "ep0 short packet" and completes the
    request.
  * dwc3 stalls on short IN but not on short OUT.

A short ep0 OUT is therefore not evidence of a broken UDC; it is
a normal condition f_fs has to cope with.  The sibling gadgetfs
implementation in drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/inode.c already does
this correctly via min(len, dev-&gt;req-&gt;actual) before
copy_to_user().  This patch brings f_fs.c to the same safe
pattern rather than trimming at a defensive layer.

The bug is reached from the FunctionFS device node, which in
real deployments is owned by the privileged gadget daemon
(adbd, UMS, composite gadget services, etc.); it is not
reachable from unprivileged userspace.  Linux host stacks
normally reject short-wLength control OUTs before they reach
the gadget, so reproducing this required a build that
bypasses that host-side check.  With the bypass in place, a
1-byte payload on a 64-byte Setup produces 63 bytes of
non-canary slab residue in the daemon's read buffer.

Fix by copying only ret (actually received) bytes to
userspace.

[ Upstream commit 8e4c1d06183c25022f6b0002a5cab84979ca6337 ]

When ffs_epfile_ioctl handles FUNCTIONFS_DMABUF_* ioctls, it's currently
falling through when copy_from_user fails.

However, this fallthrough isn't being checked properly, so the handler
continues executing further than it should. It then tries the secondary
dispatch where it ultimately gives up and returns -ENOTTY.

The end result is invalid ioctl invocations will yield a -ENOTTY rather
than an -EFAULT.

It's a common pattern elsewhere in the kernel code to directly return
-EFAULT when copy_from_user fails. So we update ffs_epfile_ioctl to do
the same and fix this issue.

[ Upstream commit 0145e7acd29855dfba4a2f387d455b5d9a520f0e ]

Currently, DMA_FROM_DEVICE is used when attaching DMABUFs to IN
endpoints and DMA_TO_DEVICE for OUT endpoints. This is inverted from
how it should be.

The result is IOMMU read-only mappings placed on OUT queues,
triggering arm-smmu write faults.

Put differently, OUT endpoints flow data from host -&gt; gadget, meaning
the UDC peripheral needs to have write access to the buffer to fill it
with the incoming data.

This commit flips the directions and updates the implicit-sync helpers
so IN endpoints act as readers and OUT endpoints as writers.

commit cfd6f1a7b42f62523c96d9703ef32b0dbc495ba4 upstream.

A race condition occurs when ffs_func_eps_enable() runs concurrently
with ffs_data_reset(). The ffs_data_clear() called in ffs_data_reset()
sets ffs-&gt;epfiles to NULL before resetting ffs-&gt;eps_count to 0, leading
to a NULL pointer dereference when accessing epfile-&gt;ep in
ffs_func_eps_enable() after successful usb_ep_enable().

The ffs-&gt;epfiles pointer is set to NULL in both ffs_data_clear() and
ffs_data_close() functions, and its modification is protected by the
spinlock ffs-&gt;eps_lock. And the whole ffs_func_eps_enable() function
is also protected by ffs-&gt;eps_lock.

Thus, add NULL pointer handling for ffs-&gt;epfiles in the
ffs_func_eps_enable() function to fix issues

<title>usb: gadget: f_fs: Remove WARN_ON in functionfs_bind</title>

commit dfc51e48bca475bbee984e90f33fdc537ce09699 upstream.

This commit addresses an issue related to below kernel panic where
panic_on_warn is enabled. It is caused by the unnecessary use of WARN_ON
in functionsfs_bind, which easily leads to the following scenarios.

1.adb_write in adbd               2. UDC write via configfs
  =================	             =====================

-&gt;usb_ffs_open_thread()           -&gt;UDC write
 -&gt;open_functionfs()               -&gt;configfs_write_iter()
  -&gt;adb_open()                      -&gt;gadget_dev_desc_UDC_store()
   -&gt;adb_write()                     -&gt;usb_gadget_register_driver_owner
                                      -&gt;driver_register()
-&gt;StartMonitor()                       -&gt;bus_add_driver()
 -&gt;adb_read()                           -&gt;gadget_bind_driver()
&lt;times-out without BIND event&gt;           -&gt;configfs_composite_bind()
                                          -&gt;usb_add_function()
-&gt;open_functionfs()                        -&gt;ffs_func_bind()
 -&gt;adb_open()                               -&gt;functionfs_bind()
                                       &lt;ffs-&gt;state !=FFS_ACTIVE&gt;

The adb_open, adb_read, and adb_write operations are invoked from the
daemon, but trying to bind the function is a process that is invoked by
UDC write through configfs, which opens up the possibility of a race
condition between the two paths. In this race scenario, the kernel panic
occurs due to the WARN_ON from functionfs_bind when panic_on_warn is
enabled. This commit fixes the kernel panic by removing the unnecessary
WARN_ON.

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441
("fs: remove no_llseek")

To quote that commit,

  At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek -

  git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
	sed -i '/\&lt;no_llseek\&gt;/d' $i
  done

  would do it.

Unfortunately, that hadn't been done.  Linus, could you do that now, so
that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the
form
	.llseek = no_llseek,
so it's obviously safe.

Add the ability for the USB FunctionFS (FFS) gadget driver to be able
to create Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) functional descriptors. [1]

This patch allows implementation of DFU in userspace using the
FFS gadget. The DFU protocol uses the control pipe (ep0) for all
messaging so only the addition of the DFU functional descriptor
is needed in the kernel driver.

The DFU functional descriptor is written to the ep0 file along with
any other descriptors during FFS setup. DFU requires an interface
descriptor followed by the DFU functional descriptor.

This patch includes documentation of the added descriptor for DFU
and conversion of some existing documentation to kernel-doc format
so that it can be included in the generated docs.

An implementation of DFU 1.1 that implements just the runtime descriptor
using the FunctionFS gadget (with rebooting into u-boot for DFU mode)
has been tested on an i.MX8 Nano.

An implementation of DFU 1.1 that implements both runtime and DFU mode
using the FunctionFS gadget has been tested on Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+.
Note that for the best performance of firmware update file transfers, the
userspace program should respond as quick as possible to the setup packets.
