Subject: [PATCH v2] usbip: vudc: Prevent transfer timer rearm during teardown
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 22:20:33 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923022033.957777-1-mhun512@gmail.com> (raw)
Commit d96209626a29 ("usbip: vudc: Fix use after free bug in
vudc_remove due to race condition") deletes the transfer timer before
vudc_remove() frees the vudc, but the receive thread keeps running
until usb_del_gadget_udc(). v_kick_timer() calls mod_timer() for
CMD_SUBMIT and CMD_UNLINK even in VUDC_TR_STOPPED, so a packet after
timer_delete_sync() rearms the timer and v_timer() uses the freed
vudc.
Use timer_shutdown_sync(), which ignores later arming. The transfer
state is freed with the timer. Annotate v_start_timer() and
v_kick_timer() with __must_hold(&udc->lock).
A KASAN and DEBUG_OBJECTS x86_64 QEMU guest reproduced the free-active
timer warning and the use-after-free in v_timer(). The same harness
completed 4000 iterations with this change.
Fixes: d96209626a29 ("usbip: vudc: Fix use after free bug in vudc_remove due to race condition")

Changes in v2:
- Drop the lock-held comment and mark v_start_timer() and
v_kick_timer() with __must_hold(&udc->lock), on the prototypes and
the definitions (Greg Kroah-Hartman).
