2019-08-12USB: core: Fix races in character device registration and deregistraionAlan Stern1-5/+5
The syzbot fuzzer has found two (!) races in the USB character device registration and deregistration routines. This patch fixes the races. The first race results from the fact that usb_deregister_dev() sets usb_minors[intf->minor] to NULL before calling device_destroy() on the class device. This leaves a window during which another thread can allocate the same minor number but will encounter a duplicate name error when it tries to register its own class device. A typical error message in the system log would look like: sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/class/usbmisc/ldusb0' The patch fixes this race by destroying the class device first. The second race is in usb_register_dev(). When that routine runs, it first allocates a minor number, then drops minor_rwsem, and then creates the class device. If the device creation fails, the minor number is deallocated and the whole routine returns an error. But during the time while minor_rwsem was dropped, there is a window in which the minor number is allocated and so another thread can successfully open the device file. Typically this results in use-after-free errors or invalid accesses when the other thread closes its open file reference, because the kernel then tries to release resources that were already deallocated when usb_register_dev() failed. The patch fixes this race by keeping minor_rwsem locked throughout the entire routine.

To match the rest of the kernel, the SPDX tags for the drivers/usb/core/ files are moved to the first line of the file. This makes it more obvious the tag is present as well as making it match the other 12k files in the tree with this location. It also uses // to match the "expected style" as well.

2017-03-29USB: Proper handling of Race Condition when two USB class drivers try to call init_usb_class simultaneouslyAjay Kaher1-2/+7
There is race condition when two USB class drivers try to call init_usb_class at the same time and leads to crash. code path: probe->usb_register_dev->init_usb_class To solve this, mutex locking has been added in init_usb_class() and destroy_usb_class(). As pointed by Alan, removed "if (usb_class)" test from destroy_usb_class() because usb_class can never be NULL there.

2016-01-24usb: core: use kbasename() instead of open-coded variantAndy Shevchenko1-7/+2
kbasename() helper is dedicated to find a last part of the filename or pathname. USB core uses open-coded variant of that helper. Replace some lines of code by kbasename() call. The current users do not have trailing slash and we are on the safe side to make such change. I dig a history of the code under question up and found the patch [1] that brought it along with the same to tty layer. The check for trailing slash looks like copy'n'paste thing and I consider it as redundant.

2010-10-15llseek: automatically add .llseek fopArnd Bergmann1-0/+1
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a .llseek pointer. The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek. New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code relies on calling seek on the device file. The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle. Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window. Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic patch that does all this. ===== begin semantic patch ===== // This adds an llseek= method to all file operations, // as a preparation for making no_llseek the default. // // The rules are // - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open // - use seq_lseek for sequential files // - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos // - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos, // but we still want to allow users to call lseek // @ open1 exists @ identifier nested_open; @@ nested_open(...) { <+... nonseekable_open(...) ...+> } @ open exists@ identifier open_f; identifier i, f; identifier open1.nested_open; @@ int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) { <+...

2010-09-24USB: fix bug in initialization of interface minor numbersAlan Stern1-19/+16
Recent changes in the usbhid layer exposed a bug in usbcore. If CONFIG_USB_DYNAMIC_MINORS is enabled then an interface may be assigned a minor number of 0. However interfaces that aren't registered as USB class devices also have their minor number set to 0, during initialization. As a result usb_find_interface() may return the wrong interface, leading to a crash. This patch (as1418) fixes the problem by initializing every interface's minor number to -1. It also cleans up the usb_register_dev() function, which besides being somewhat awkwardly written, does not unwind completely on all its error paths.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.hTejun Heo1-0/+1
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2007-07-12USB: prevent char device open/deregister raceAlan Stern1-16/+13
This patch (as908) adds central protection in usbcore for the prototypical race between opening and unregistering a char device. The spinlock used to protect the minor-numbers array is replaced with an rwsem, which can remain locked across a call to a driver's open() method. This guarantees that open() and deregister() will be mutually exclusive. The private locks currently used in several individual drivers for this purpose are no longer necessary, and the patch removes them. The following USB drivers are affected: usblcd, idmouse, auerswald, legousbtower, sisusbvga/sisusb, ldusb, adutux, iowarrior, and usb-skeleton. As a side effect of this change, usb_deregister_dev() must not be called while holding a lock that is acquired by open(). Unfortunately a number of drivers do this, but luckily the solution is simple: call usb_deregister_dev() before acquiring the lock. In addition to these changes (and their consequent code simplifications), the patch fixes a use-after-free bug in adutux and a race between open() and release() in iowarrior.

2006-06-21[PATCH] USB: only make /sys/class/usb show up when there is something in itGreg Kroah-Hartman1-16/+54
Now /sys/class/usb is dynamically created when we have something to put in it, and removed when all devices go away. Just trying to cut down on the clutter in sysfs... Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
