usbip: Fix locking bug in RT-enabled kernels

2026-01-11T14:18:48+00:00

[ Upstream commit 09bf21bf5249880f62fe759b53b14b4b52900c6c ] Interrupts are disabled before entering usb_hcd_giveback_urb(). A spinlock_t becomes a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT, so it cannot be acquired with disabled interrupts. Save the interrupt status and restore it after usb_hcd_giveback_urb(). syz reported: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48 Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x189/0x250 lib/dump_stack.c:120 rt_spin_lock+0xc7/0x2c0 kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:57 spin_lock include/linux/spinlock_rt.h:44 [inline] mon_bus_complete drivers/usb/mon/mon_main.c:134 [inline] mon_complete+0x5c/0x200 drivers/usb/mon/mon_main.c:147 usbmon_urb_complete include/linux/usb/hcd.h:738 [inline] __usb_hcd_giveback_urb+0x254/0x5e0 drivers/usb/core/hcd.c:1647 vhci_urb_enqueue+0xb4f/0xe70 drivers/usb/usbip/vhci_hcd.c:818 Reported-by: syzbot+205ef33a3b636b4181fb@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=205ef33a3b636b4181fb Signed-off-by: Lizhi Xu Acked-by: Shuah Khan Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250916014143.1439759-1-lizhi.xu@windriver.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

usb: vhci-hcd: Prevent suspending virtually attached devices

2025-10-15T09:56:37+00:00

[ Upstream commit e40b984b6c4ce3f80814f39f86f87b2a48f2e662 ] The VHCI platform driver aims to forbid entering system suspend when at least one of the virtual USB ports are bound to an active USB/IP connection. However, in some cases, the detection logic doesn't work reliably, i.e. when all devices attached to the virtual root hub have been already suspended, leading to a broken suspend state, with unrecoverable resume. Ensure the virtually attached devices do not enter suspend by setting the syscore PM flag. Note this is currently limited to the client side only, since the server side doesn't implement system suspend prevention.

usbip: Don't submit special requests twice

2024-09-08T05:53:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8b6b386f9aa936ed0c190446c71cf59d4a507690 ] Skip submitting URBs, when identical requests were already sent in tweak_special_requests(). Instead call the completion handler directly to return the result of the URB. Even though submitting those requests twice should be harmless, there are USB devices that react poorly to some duplicated requests. One example is the ChipIdea controller implementation in U-Boot: The second SET_CONFIGURATION request makes U-Boot disable and re-enable all endpoints. Re-enabling an endpoint in the ChipIdea controller, however, was broken until U-Boot commit b272c8792502 ("usb: ci: Fix gadget reinit").

usb: vhci-hcd: Do not drop references before new references are gained

2024-08-14T11:52:55+00:00

commit afdcfd3d6fcdeca2735ca8d994c5f2d24a368f0a upstream. At a few places the driver carries stale pointers to references that can still be used. Make sure that does not happen. This strictly speaking closes ZDI-CAN-22273, though there may be similar races in the driver.

use less confusing names for iov_iter direction initializers

[ Upstream commit de4eda9de2d957ef2d6a8365a01e26a435e958cb ] READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are "data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as "we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly the wrong way. Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder to misinterpret...

usbip: add USBIP_URB_* URB transfer flags

2022-08-31T07:07:53+00:00

USBIP driver packs URB transfer flags in network packets that are exchanged between Server (usbip_host) and Client (vhci_hcd). URB_* flags are internal to kernel and could change. Where as USBIP URB flags exchanged in network packets are USBIP user API must not change. Add USBIP_URB* flags to make this an explicit API and change the client and server to map them. Details as follows: Client tx path (USBIP_CMD_SUBMIT): - Maps URB_* to USBIP_URB_* when it sends USBIP_CMD_SUBMIT packet. Server rx path (USBIP_CMD_SUBMIT): - Maps USBIP_URB_* to URB_* when it receives USBIP_CMD_SUBMIT packet. Flags aren't included in USBIP_CMD_UNLINK and USBIP_RET_SUBMIT packets and no special handling is needed for them in the following cases: - Server rx path (USBIP_CMD_UNLINK) - Client rx path & Server tx path (USBIP_RET_SUBMIT) Update protocol documentation to reflect the change.

usbip: vudc: Don't enable IRQs prematurely

2022-06-10T09:48:19+00:00

This code does: spin_unlock_irq(&udc->ud.lock); spin_unlock_irqrestore(&udc->lock, flags); which does not make sense. In theory, the first unlock could enable IRQs and then the second _irqrestore could disable them again. There would be a brief momemt where IRQs were enabled improperly. In real life, however, this function is always called with IRQs enabled and the bug does not affect runtime.

USB: usbip: clean up mixed use of _irq() and _irqsave()

2022-06-10T09:48:15+00:00

It generally doesn't make sense to use _irq() and _irqsave() in the same function because either some of the callers have disabled IRQs or they haven't. In this case, the v_recv_cmd_submit() appears to always be called with IRQs enabled so the code works fine. That means I could convert it to either _irq() or _irqsave() but I chose to use _irqsave() because it's more conservative and easier to review.
