Subject: [PATCH] usb: typec: Check the alternate mode ID allocation
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 23:14:46 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111041446.3072716-1-lcy8047@gmail.com> (raw)

typec_register_altmode() stores the return value of altmode_id_get()
in an unsigned int without checking it. When ida_alloc() fails, the
error code becomes the ID, and the alternate mode is registered under
a name such as "port0-partner.4294967284". A second failure on the same
partner then fails with a duplicate name:

  [    0.423055] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/platform/altfail/typec/port0/port0-partner/port0-partner.4294967284'

Return the error when the ID allocation fails.

Fixes: 8a37d87d72f0 ("usb: typec: Bus type for alternate modes")

Found with a static analysis tool we are developing.

Reproduced in QEMU (x86_64) with a test module that registers a port,
a partner and 63 partner alternate modes, and then two more with
failslab (task-filter) making ida_alloc() fail with -ENOMEM. Without
this patch, the first of the two is registered as
"port0-partner.4294967284" and the second fails with -EEXIST and the
error above. With it, both return -ENOMEM. Same result in three runs
each.
