commit 8bdcf96eb135aebacac319667f87db034fb38406 upstream.

Currently, ffs_epfile_release unconditionally frees the endpoint's
read_buffer when a file descriptor is closed. If userspace explicitly
opens the endpoint multiple times and closes one, the read_buffer is
destroyed. This can lead to silent data loss if other file descriptors
are still actively reading from the endpoint.

By tying the lifetime of the read_buffer to the ffs_epfile structure itself
(which is destroyed when the functionfs instance is torn down in
ffs_epfiles_destroy), we eliminate the brittle dependency on open/release
calls while correctly matching the conceptual lifetime of unread data on
the hardware endpoint.

<title>usb: gadget: f_fs: Initialize epfile-&gt;in early to fix endpoint direction checks</title>

commit 82cfd4739011bdc7e87b5d585703427e89ddfaa5 upstream.

When parsing endpoint descriptors, ffs_data_got_descs() generates the
eps_addrmap which contains the endpoint direction. However, epfile-&gt;in
was previously only populated in ffs_func_eps_enable() which executes
upon USB host connection. As a result, early userspace ioctls like
FUNCTIONFS_DMABUF_ATTACH that run before the host connects would see
epfile-&gt;in as 0, leading to incorrect DMA directions.

By moving the initialization to ffs_epfiles_create(), epfile-&gt;in is
accurate before userspace opens the endpoint files.

commit baa6b6068a3f2bf2ed525a1cb37975905dadc658 upstream.

In ffs_dmabuf_transfer(), a ffs_dma_fence object is kmalloc'd, with the
underlying dma_fence later initialized by dma_fence_init(), which sets
its kref counter to 1. Then, dma_resv_add_fence() gets a second
reference, and a pointer to the ffs_dma_fence is passed as the
usb_request's "context" field.

The dma-resv mechanism will manage the second reference, but the first
reference is never properly released; the ffs_dmabuf_cleanup() function
decreases the reference count, but only to balance with the reference
grab in ffs_dmabuf_signal_done().

The code will then slowly leak memory as more ffs_dma_fence objects are
created without being ever freed.

Address this issue by transferring ownership of the fence to the DMA
reservation object, by calling dma_fence_put() right after
dma_resv_add_fence(). The ffs_dma_fence then gets properly discarded
after being signalled.

<title>usb: gadget: f_fs: initialize reset_work at allocation time</title>

commit 3137b243c93982fe3460335e12f9247739766e10 upstream.

ffs_fs_kill_sb() unconditionally calls cancel_work_sync() on
ffs-&gt;reset_work when a functionfs instance is unmounted:

	ffs_data_reset(ffs);
	cancel_work_sync(&amp;ffs-&gt;reset_work);

However ffs-&gt;reset_work is only ever initialized via INIT_WORK() in
ffs_func_set_alt() and ffs_func_disable(), and only on the
FFS_DEACTIVATED path. That state is reached solely by ffs_data_closed()
when the instance is mounted with the "no_disconnect" option, so for the
common case (no "no_disconnect", or mounted and unmounted without ever
being deactivated) reset_work is never initialized.

ffs_data_new() allocates the ffs_data with kzalloc_obj() and does not
initialize reset_work, and ffs_data_reset()/ffs_data_clear() do not touch
it either, so reset_work.func is left NULL. cancel_work_sync() on such a
work then trips the WARN_ON(!work-&gt;func) guard in __flush_work():

  WARNING: kernel/workqueue.c:4301 at __flush_work+0x330/0x360, CPU#3: umount
  Call trace:

   cancel_work_sync

   deactivate_locked_super

   cleanup_mnt
   __cleanup_mnt
   task_work_run
   exit_to_user_mode_loop
   el0_svc

On older kernels cancel_work_sync() on a zero-initialized work struct was
a silent no-op, which hid the missing initialization.

Initialize reset_work once in ffs_data_new() so it is always valid for
the lifetime of the ffs_data, and drop the now-redundant INIT_WORK()
calls from the two deactivation paths.

<title>usb: gadget: f_fs: serialize DMABUF cancel against request completion</title>

ffs_epfile_dmabuf_io_complete() calls usb_ep_free_request() on the
completed request but leaves priv-&gt;req, the back-pointer that
ffs_dmabuf_transfer() set on submission, pointing at the freed
memory.  A later FUNCTIONFS_DMABUF_DETACH ioctl or
ffs_epfile_release() on the close path still sees priv-&gt;req
non-NULL under ffs-&gt;eps_lock:

    if (priv-&gt;ep &amp;&amp; priv-&gt;req)
            usb_ep_dequeue(priv-&gt;ep, priv-&gt;req);

so usb_ep_dequeue() is called on a freed usb_request.

On dummy_hcd the dequeue path only walks a live queue and
pointer-compares, so the freed pointer reads without faulting and
KASAN requires an explicit check at the FunctionFS call site to
surface the use-after-free.  On SG-capable in-tree UDCs the
dequeue path dereferences the supplied request immediately:

  * chipidea's ep_dequeue() does
    container_of(req, struct ci_hw_req, req) and reads
    hwreq-&gt;req.status before acquiring its own lock.
  * cdnsp's cdnsp_gadget_ep_dequeue() reads request-&gt;status first.

The narrower option of clearing priv-&gt;req via cmpxchg() in the
completion does not close the race: the completion runs without
eps_lock, so a cancel path holding eps_lock can still observe
priv-&gt;req non-NULL, race a concurrent completion that clears and
frees, and pass the freed pointer to usb_ep_dequeue().  A slightly
longer fix that moves the free into the cleanup work is needed.

Same class of lifetime race as the recent usbip-vudc timer fix [1].

Take eps_lock in the sole place that mutates priv-&gt;req from the
callback direction by moving usb_ep_free_request() out of the
completion into ffs_dmabuf_cleanup(), the existing work handler
scheduled by ffs_dmabuf_signal_done() on
ffs-&gt;io_completion_wq.  Clear priv-&gt;req there under eps_lock
before freeing, and only clear if priv-&gt;req still names our
request (a subsequent ffs_dmabuf_transfer() on the same
attachment may have queued a new one).

This keeps the existing dummy_hcd sync-dequeue invariant: the
completion callback is still invoked by the UDC without
eps_lock held (dummy_hcd drops its own lock before calling the
callback), and the callback now takes no f_fs lock at all.
Serialization against the cancel path happens in cleanup, which
runs from the workqueue with no f_fs lock held on entry.

The priv ref count protects the containing ffs_dmabuf_priv:
ffs_dmabuf_transfer() takes a ref via ffs_dmabuf_get(), cleanup
drops it via ffs_dmabuf_put(), so priv stays live for the
cleanup even after the cancel path's list_del + ffs_dmabuf_put.

The ffs_dmabuf_transfer() error path no longer frees usb_req
inline: fence-&gt;req and fence-&gt;ep are set before usb_ep_queue(),
so ffs_dmabuf_cleanup() (scheduled by the error-path
ffs_dmabuf_signal_done()) owns the free regardless of whether
the queue succeeded.

Reproduced under KASAN on both detach and close paths against
dummy_hcd with an observability hook
(kasan_check_byte(priv-&gt;req) immediately before usb_ep_dequeue)
at the two FunctionFS cancel sites to surface the stale-pointer
access; the hook is not part of this patch.  The KASAN
allocator / free stacks in the captured splats identify the
same request: alloc in dummy_alloc_request, free in
dummy_timer, fault reached from ffs_epfile_release (close) and
from the FUNCTIONFS_DMABUF_DETACH ioctl (detach).  With the
patch applied, both paths are silent under the same hook.

The bug is reached from the FunctionFS device node, which in
real deployments is owned by the privileged gadget daemon
(adbd, UMS, composite gadget services, etc.); it is not
reachable from unprivileged userspace or from a USB host on the
cable.  FunctionFS mounts default to GLOBAL_ROOT_UID, but the
filesystem supports uid=, gid=, and fmode= delegation to a
non-root gadget daemon, so on real deployments the attacker may
be a less-privileged service rather than root.

<title>usb: gadget: f_fs: copy only received bytes on short ep0 read</title>

<id>4e036c10e7f4df5d951c69cc3697bc8e209c6d02</id>
<content type='text'>
ffs_ep0_read() allocates its control-OUT data buffer with
kmalloc() (not kzalloc) at the Length value from the Setup
packet, then copies that full len to userspace regardless of
how many bytes were actually received:

    data = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
    ...
    ret = __ffs_ep0_queue_wait(ffs, data, len);
    if ((ret &gt; 0) &amp;&amp; (copy_to_user(buf, data, len)))
            ret = -EFAULT;

__ffs_ep0_queue_wait() returns req-&gt;actual, which on a short
control OUT transfer is strictly less than len.  The
copy_to_user() call still copies len bytes, so on a short OUT
the last (len - ret) bytes of the kmalloc() buffer --
uninitialised slab residue -- are delivered to the FunctionFS
daemon.

Short ep0 OUT completions are specified USB control-transfer
behavior and are produced by in-tree UDCs:

  * dwc2 continues on req-&gt;actual &lt; req-&gt;length for ep0 DATA OUT
    (short-not-ok is the only ep0-OUT stall path).
  * aspeed_udc ends ep0 OUT on rx_len &lt; ep-&gt;ep.maxpacket.
  * renesas_usbf logs "ep0 short packet" and completes the
    request.
  * dwc3 stalls on short IN but not on short OUT.

A short ep0 OUT is therefore not evidence of a broken UDC; it is
a normal condition f_fs has to cope with.  The sibling gadgetfs
implementation in drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/inode.c already does
this correctly via min(len, dev-&gt;req-&gt;actual) before
copy_to_user().  This patch brings f_fs.c to the same safe
pattern rather than trimming at a defensive layer.

The bug is reached from the FunctionFS device node, which in
real deployments is owned by the privileged gadget daemon
(adbd, UMS, composite gadget services, etc.); it is not
reachable from unprivileged userspace.  Linux host stacks
normally reject short-wLength control OUTs before they reach
the gadget, so reproducing this required a build that
bypasses that host-side check.  With the bypass in place, a
1-byte payload on a 64-byte Setup produces 63 bytes of
non-canary slab residue in the daemon's read buffer.

Fix by copying only ret (actually received) bytes to
userspace.

<title>Convert 'alloc_flex' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much
smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex()
interface.

As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute
force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather
than 'objs*'.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

 "Here is the "big" set of USB and Thunderbolt driver updates for
  7.0-rc1. Overall more lines were removed than added, thanks to
  dropping the obsolete isp1362 USB host controller driver, always a
  nice change.

  Other than that, nothing major happening here, highlights are:

   - lots of dwc3 driver updates and new hardware support added

   - usb gadget function driver updates

   - usb phy driver updates

   - typec driver updates and additions

   - USB rust binding updates for syntax and formatting changes

   - more usb serial device ids added

   - other smaller USB core and driver updates and additions

  All of these have been in linux-next for a long time, with no reported
