commit c2b71462d294cf517a0bc6e4fd6424d7cee5596f upstream.

The syzkaller fuzzer reported a bug in the USB hub driver which turned
out to be caused by a negative runtime-PM usage counter.  This allowed
a hub to be runtime suspended at a time when the driver did not expect
it.  The symptom is a WARNING issued because the hub's status URB is
submitted while it is already active:

	URB 0000000031fb463e submitted while active
	WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2917 at drivers/usb/core/urb.c:363

The negative runtime-PM usage count was caused by an unfortunate
design decision made when runtime PM was first implemented for USB.
At that time, USB class drivers were allowed to unbind from their
interfaces without balancing the usage counter (i.e., leaving it with
a positive count).  The core code would take care of setting the
counter back to 0 before allowing another driver to bind to the
interface.

Later on when runtime PM was implemented for the entire kernel, the
opposite decision was made: Drivers were required to balance their
runtime-PM get and put calls.  In order to maintain backward
compatibility, however, the USB subsystem adapted to the new
implementation by keeping an independent usage counter for each
interface and using it to automatically adjust the normal usage
counter back to 0 whenever a driver was unbound.

This approach involves duplicating information, but what is worse, it
doesn't work properly in cases where a USB class driver delays
decrementing the usage counter until after the driver's disconnect()
routine has returned and the counter has been adjusted back to 0.
Doing so would cause the usage counter to become negative.  There's
even a warning about this in the USB power management documentation!

As it happens, this is exactly what the hub driver does.  The
kick_hub_wq() routine increments the runtime-PM usage counter, and the
corresponding decrement is carried out by hub_event() in the context
of the hub_wq work-queue thread.  This work routine may sometimes run
after the driver has been unbound from its interface, and when it does
it causes the usage counter to go negative.

It is not possible for hub_disconnect() to wait for a pending
hub_event() call to finish, because hub_disconnect() is called with
the device lock held and hub_event() acquires that lock.  The only
feasible fix is to reverse the original design decision: remove the
duplicate interface-specific usage counter and require USB drivers to
balance their runtime PM gets and puts.  As far as I know, all
existing drivers currently do this.

commit d7a6c0ce8d26412903c7981503bad9e1cc7c45d2 upstream.

USB Bluetooth controller QCA ROME (0cf3:e007) sometimes stops working
after S3:
[ 165.110742] Bluetooth: hci0: using NVM file: qca/nvm_usb_00000302.bin
[ 168.432065] Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to send body at 4 of 1953 (-110)

After some experiments, I found that disabling LPM can workaround the
issue.

On some platforms, the USB power is cut during S3, so the driver uses
reset-resume to resume the device. During port resume, LPM gets enabled
twice, by usb_reset_and_verify_device() and usb_port_resume().

Consolidate all checks into new LPM helpers to make sure LPM only gets
enabled once.

USB: remove LPM management from usb_driver_claim_interface() 2018-10-04T00:01:50+00:00 Alan Stern stern@rowland.harvard.edu 2018-09-10T17:58:51+00:00 56d298ab32fc3d74e3f3b691a75eb0c6b8955344 commit c183813fcee44a249339b7c46e1ad271ca1870aa upstream. usb_driver_claim_interface() disables and re-enables Link Power Management, but it shouldn't do either one, for the reasons listed below. This patch removes the two LPM-related function calls from the routine. The reason for disabling LPM in the analogous function usb_probe_interface() is so that drivers won't have to deal with unwanted LPM transitions in their probe routine. But usb_driver_claim_interface() doesn't call the driver's probe routine (or any other callbacks), so that reason doesn't apply here. Furthermore, no driver other than usbfs will ever call usb_driver_claim_interface() unless it is already bound to another interface in the same device, which means disabling LPM here would be redundant. usbfs doesn't interact with LPM at all. Lastly, the error return from usb_unlocked_disable_lpm() isn't handled properly; the code doesn't clean up its earlier actions before returning.

The syzbot fuzzing project found a use-after-free bug in the USB core. The bug was caused by usbfs not unbinding from an interface when the USB device file was closed, which led another process to attempt the unbind later on, after the private data structure had been deallocated.

This was caused by the fact that usb_driver_claim_interface() does not clean up properly when device_bind_driver() returns an error.

kick_hub_wq() is called from hub_activate() even after failures to
communicate with the hub. This results in an endless sequence of
hub event -> hub activate -> wq trigger -> hub event -> ...

Provide two solutions for the problem.

- Only trigger the hub event queue if communication with the hub
  is successful.
- After a suspend failure, only resume already suspended interfaces
  if the communication with the device is still possible.

Each of the changes fixes the observed problem. Use both to improve
robustness.

USB: leave LPM alone if possible when binding/unbinding interface drivers 2016-05-03T21:32:07+00:00 Alan Stern stern@rowland.harvard.edu 2016-04-29T19:25:17+00:00 6fb650d43da3e7054984dc548eaa88765a94d49f When a USB driver is bound to an interface (either through probing or by claiming it) or is unbound from an interface, the USB core always disables Link Power Management during the transition and then re-enables it afterward. The reason is because the driver might want to prevent hub-initiated link power transitions, in which case the HCD would have to recalculate the various LPM parameters. This recalculation takes place when LPM is re-enabled and the new parameters are sent to the device and its parent hub. However, if the driver does not want to prevent hub-initiated link power transitions then none of this work is necessary. The parameters don't need to be recalculated, and LPM doesn't need to be disabled and re-enabled. It turns out that disabling and enabling LPM can be time-consuming, enough so that it interferes with user programs that want to claim and release interfaces rapidly via usbfs. Since the usbfs kernel driver doesn't set the disable_hub_initiated_lpm flag, we can speed things up and get the user programs to work by leaving LPM alone whenever the flag isn't set. And while we're improving the way disable_hub_initiated_lpm gets used, let's also fix its kerneldoc.
