usb: fix UAF when probe runs concurrent to dyn ID removal

2026-07-10T13:16:07+00:00

Dynamic IDs are only guaranteed to be valid when usb_dynids_lock is held, as remove_id_store can free the node. Thus, make a copy in usb_probe_interface. Clarify the documentation that the id parameter is only valid during the probe. USB serial has the same pattern, but it does not need fixing as the IDs cannot be removed via sysfs.

Replace by more specific (headers)

is included in a many files: $ git grep '' ef0c9f75a195 | wc -l 1598 ; some of them are widely used headers. To stop mixing up different and unrelated driver( type)s let the subsystem headers only use the subset of the recently split that are relevant for them. The fallout (I hope) is addressed in the previous commits that handle sources relying on e.g. pulling in the full legacy header and thus providing pci_device_id.

usb: xhci: Make usb_host_endpoint.hcpriv survive endpoint_disable()

2026-04-02T13:55:38+00:00

xHCI hardware maintains its endpoint state between add_endpoint() and drop_endpoint() calls followed by successful check_bandwidth(). So does the driver. Core may call endpoint_disable() during xHCI endpoint life, so don't clear host_ep->hcpriv then, because this breaks endpoint_reset(). If a driver calls usb_set_interface(), submits URBs which make host sequence state non-zero and calls usb_clear_halt(), the device clears its sequence state but xhci_endpoint_reset() bails out. The next URB malfunctions: USB2 loses one packet, USB3 gets Transaction Error or may not complete at all on some (buggy?) HCs from ASMedia and AMD. This is triggered by uvcvideo on bulk video devices. The code was copied from ehci_endpoint_disable() but it isn't needed here - hcpriv should only be NULL on emulated root hub endpoints. It might prevent resetting and inadvertently enabling a disabled and dropped endpoint, but core shouldn't try to reset dropped endpoints. Document xhci requirements regarding hcpriv. They are currently met.

usb: core: use dedicated spinlock for offload state

2026-04-02T07:43:26+00:00

Replace the coarse USB device lock with a dedicated offload_lock spinlock to reduce contention during offload operations. Use offload_pm_locked to synchronize with PM transitions and replace the legacy offload_at_suspend flag. Optimize usb_offload_get/put by switching from auto-resume/suspend to pm_runtime_get_if_active(). This ensures offload state is only modified when the device is already active, avoiding unnecessary power transitions.

usb: translate ENOSPC for user space

In case of insufficient bandwidth usb_submit_urb() returns -ENOSPC. Translating this to -EIO is not optimal. There are insufficient resources not an error. EBUSY is a better fit.

USB: core: Limit the length of unkillable synchronous timeouts

2026-03-11T15:16:56+00:00

The usb_control_msg(), usb_bulk_msg(), and usb_interrupt_msg() APIs in usbcore allow unlimited timeout durations. And since they use uninterruptible waits, this leaves open the possibility of hanging a task for an indefinitely long time, with no way to kill it short of unplugging the target device. To prevent this sort of problem, enforce a maximum limit on the length of these unkillable timeouts. The limit chosen here, somewhat arbitrarily, is 60 seconds. On many systems (although not all) this is short enough to avoid triggering the kernel's hung-task detector. In addition, clear up the ambiguity of negative timeout values by treating them the same as 0, i.e., using the maximum allowed timeout.

USB: usbcore: Introduce usb_bulk_msg_killable()

2026-03-11T15:16:56+00:00

The synchronous message API in usbcore (usb_control_msg(), usb_bulk_msg(), and so on) uses uninterruptible waits. However, drivers may call these routines in the context of a user thread, which means it ought to be possible to at least kill them. For this reason, introduce a new usb_bulk_msg_killable() function which behaves the same as usb_bulk_msg() except for using wait_for_completion_killable_timeout() instead of wait_for_completion_timeout(). The same can be done later for usb_control_msg() later on, if it turns out to be needed.
