usbnet: Fix a race between usbnet_stop() and the BH
The race may happen when a device (e.g. YOTA 4G LTE Modem) is unplugged while the system is downloading a large file from the Net. Hardware breakpoints and Kprobes with delays were used to confirm that the race does actually happen. The race is on skb_queue ('next' pointer) between usbnet_stop() and rx_complete(), which, in turn, calls usbnet_bh(). Here is a part of the call stack with the code where the changes to the queue happen. The line numbers are for the kernel 4.1.0: *0 __skb_unlink (skbuff.h:1517) prev->next = next; *1 defer_bh (usbnet.c:430) spin_lock_irqsave(&list->lock, flags); old_state = entry->state; entry->state = state; __skb_unlink(skb, list); spin_unlock(&list->lock); spin_lock(&dev->done.lock); __skb_queue_tail(&dev->done, skb); if (dev->done.qlen == 1) tasklet_schedule(&dev->bh); spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev->done.lock, flags); *2 rx_complete (usbnet.c:640) state = defer_bh(dev, skb, &dev->rxq, state); At the same time, the following code repeatedly checks if the queue is empty and reads these values concurrently with the above changes: *0 usbnet_terminate_urbs (usbnet.c:765) /* maybe wait for deletions to finish. */ while (!skb_queue_empty(&dev->rxq) && !skb_queue_empty(&dev->txq) && !skb_queue_empty(&dev->done)) { schedule_timeout(msecs_to_jiffies(UNLINK_TIMEOUT_MS)); set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); netif_dbg(dev, ifdown, dev->net, "waited for %d urb completions\n", temp); } *1 usbnet_stop (usbnet.c:806) if (!(info->flags & FLAG_AVOID_UNLINK_URBS)) usbnet_terminate_urbs(dev); As a result, it is possible, for example, that the skb is removed from dev->rxq by __skb_unlink() before the check "!skb_queue_empty(&dev->rxq)" in usbnet_terminate_urbs() is made. It is also possible in this case that the skb is added to dev->done queue after "!skb_queue_empty(&dev->done)" is checked. So usbnet_terminate_urbs() may stop waiting and return while dev->done queue still has an item. Locking in defer_bh() and usbnet_terminate_urbs() was revisited to avoid this race.
