usb: gadget: u_ether: Fix race between gether_disconnect and eth_stop
A race condition between gether_disconnect() and eth_stop() leads to a
NULL pointer dereference. Specifically, if eth_stop() is triggered
concurrently while gether_disconnect() is tearing down the endpoints,
eth_stop() attempts to access the cleared endpoint descriptor, causing
the following NPE:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
Call trace:
__dwc3_gadget_ep_enable+0x60/0x788
dwc3_gadget_ep_enable+0x70/0xe4
usb_ep_enable+0x60/0x15c
eth_stop+0xb8/0x108
Because eth_stop() crashes while holding the dev->lock, the thread
running gether_disconnect() fails to acquire the same lock and spins
forever, resulting in a hardlockup:
Core - Debugging Information for Hardlockup core(7)
Call trace:
queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x94/0x488
_raw_spin_lock+0x64/0x6c
gether_disconnect+0x19c/0x1e8
ncm_set_alt+0x68/0x1a0
composite_setup+0x6a0/0xc50
The root cause is that the clearing of dev->port_usb in
gether_disconnect() is delayed until the end of the function.
Move the clearing of dev->port_usb to the very beginning of
gether_disconnect() while holding dev->lock. This cuts off the link
immediately, ensuring eth_stop() will see dev->port_usb as NULL and
safely bail out.
