This weekend I was hacking around with a trivial USB driver for talking
to the boot load firmware of a USB Bit Whacker.  It's running the
MicroChip Pic18 boot loader firmware and I'm putting together a flash
program for writing new FW to the thing.

Anyway in my use of the usb-skeleton.c as my starting point I discovered
my test program was getting hung up after attempting to write a buffer.
The application and driver where hung in a way that required me to
reboot to get it to clean up so I could try again.

It turned out the code path through skel_open can grap the driver's
io_mutex lock and forget to release it.

The following patch fixes the problem for me.

This patch set introduces usb_anchor and uses it to implement all modern
APIs in the skeleton driver.

- proper error reporting in the skeleton driver
- implementation of flush()

<title>USB: prevent char device open/deregister race</title>
<updated>2007-07-12T23:29:48+00:00</updated>

<id>d4ead16f50f9ad30bdc7276ec8fee7a24c72f294</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

compilation of the skeleton driver is currently broken. It doesn't compile.
So while I am it:

- fix typo
- add comments to answer common questions
- actually allow autosuspend in the driver struct
- increase paralellism by restricting code under locks
