Subject: [PATCH 0/2] usb: gadget: u_ether: Fix NULL pointer dereferences after gadget unbind
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 15:58:34 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923-u-ether-gadget-npe-v1-0-ff466c55ecc0@google.com> (raw)
Hi all,
This series fixes two NULL pointer dereference issues in u_ether after
the gadget is unbound and dev->gadget is cleared by
gether_detach_gadget():
- Patch 1 replaces the composite.h DBG()/VDBG()/ERROR()/INFO() macros in
u_ether.c with netdev_*() helpers so debug logging does not
dereference dev->gadget when the net_device is detached from the
gadget.
- Patch 2 extends dev->lock to serialize dev->gadget accesses across
eth_get_drvinfo(), rx_submit(), gether_set_gadget(), and
gether_detach_gadget(), closing a check-then-use race in
eth_get_drvinfo().
