Subject: [PATCH 1/2] usb: core: hcd: Disable IRQs when taking bh->lock
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 04:02:36 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113041948.1280304-2-rickyniu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113041948.1280304-1-rickyniu@google.com>

usb_hcd_giveback_urb() can be called with local interrupts enabled,
but it acquires bh->lock with plain spin_lock(). bh->lock is also
taken in hardirq context by HCD interrupt handlers and in BH context
by usb_giveback_urb_bh().

If an interrupt arrives on the same CPU while usb_hcd_giveback_urb()
holds bh->lock with IRQs enabled, it can deadlock on bh->lock in
usb_hcd_irq(), or in usb_giveback_urb_bh() on IRQ exit if the BH work
was already queued. We hit the latter during reboot when usbnet
unlinked RX URBs on a halted xHCI controller:

  Call trace:
   queued_spin_lock_slowpath
   _raw_spin_lock_irq
   usb_giveback_urb_bh
   process_scheduled_works
   bh_worker
   workqueue_softirq_action
   __do_softirq
   irq_exit_rcu
   el1_interrupt
   _raw_spin_lock
   usb_hcd_giveback_urb
   xhci_urb_dequeue
   unlink1
   usb_hcd_unlink_urb
   usb_unlink_urb
   unlink_urbs [usbnet]

Use spin_lock_irqsave() and spin_unlock_irqrestore() when taking
bh->lock in usb_hcd_giveback_urb() to prevent same-CPU hardirq and
softirq re-entrancy.
