Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] usb: musb: gadget: count givebacks in busy
Date: Sat, 7 Nov 2026 18:36:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261107173601.63095-2-lineprinter0@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107173601.63095-1-lineprinter0@gmail.com>
The ep->busy flag is used by musb_g_giveback() to signal that
req->complete() is running on an endpoint, the ep is busy and
starting a new request is not appropriate right now.
It is only a flag and not a counter currently;
musb_g_giveback() saves the old ep->busy value, sets busy to 1,
releases musb->lock, runs req->complete(), restores the old ep->busy.
This works when there is no possibility of two musb_g_giveback()s
running in parallel.
This does not work when musb_gadget_dequeue()->...->musb_g_giveback()
happens at the same time as musb_interrupt()->...->musb_g_giveback().
The above save-then-restore can get the busy flag stuck at 1.
CPU0 (interrupt) CPU1 (usb_ep_dequeue())
giveback: saved 0, busy = 1
unlock, ->complete()
giveback: saved 1, busy = 1
unlock, ->complete()
lock, busy = 0
lock, busy = 1
...and this gets the entire endpoint stuck.
This was reproduced and the patch was tested on a Pine A64+
(Allwinner A64, four cores, no DMA) with PREEMPT_DYNAMIC and lockdep,
using a specially constructed f_fs function that keeps two AIO requests
queued on a bulk endpoint and cancels the newer one with io_cancel(),
in a loop. Tested with both a bulk IN and a bulk OUT endpoint.
If musb_g_giveback() were to be started from some other context,
the same issue would come up.
"Promote" ep->busy from a flag to a counter.
musb_gadget_enable() should not reset `busy` to 0 anymore because
musb_g_giveback() decrements busy, and if these two run in parallel,
it would be problematic (cause an underflow).
