[ Upstream commit 8bdcf96eb135aebacac319667f87db034fb38406 ]

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.

[ Upstream commit 3137b243c93982fe3460335e12f9247739766e10 ]

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:
   __flush_work
   cancel_work_sync
   ffs_fs_kill_sb [usb_f_fs]
   deactivate_locked_super
   deactivate_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>functionfs: use spinlock for FFS_DEACTIVATED/FFS_CLOSING transitions</title>

[ Upstream commit 2005aabe94eaab8608879d98afb901bc99bc3a31 ]

When all files are closed, functionfs needs ffs_data_reset() to be
done before any further opens are allowed.

During that time we have ffs-&gt;state set to FFS_CLOSING; that makes
-&gt;open() fail with -EBUSY.  Once ffs_data_reset() is done, it
switches state (to FFS_READ_DESCRIPTORS) indicating that opening
that thing is allowed again.  There's a couple of additional twists:
	* mounting with -o no_disconnect delays ffs_data_reset()
from doing that at the final -&gt;release() to the first subsequent
open().  That's indicated by ffs-&gt;state set to FFS_DEACTIVATED;
if open() sees that, it immediately switches to FFS_CLOSING and
proceeds with doing ffs_data_reset() before returning to userland.
	* a couple of usb callbacks need to force the delayed
transition; unfortunately, they are done in locking environment
that does not allow blocking and ffs_data_reset() can block.
As the result, if these callbacks see FFS_DEACTIVATED, they change
state to FFS_CLOSING and use schedule_work() to get ffs_data_reset()
executed asynchronously.

Unfortunately, the locking is rather insufficient.  A fix attempted
in e5bf5ee26663 ("functionfs: fix the open/removal races") had closed
a bunch of UAF, but it didn't do anything to the callbacks, lacked
barriers in transition from FFS_CLOSING to FFS_READ_DESCRIPTORS
_and_ it had been too heavy-handed in open()/open() serialization -
I've used ffs-&gt;mutex for that, and it's being held over actual IO on
ep0, complete with copy_from_user(), etc.

Even more unfortunately, the userland side is apparently racy enough
to have the resulting timing changes (no failures, just a delayed
return of open(2)) disrupt the things quite badly.  Userland bugs
or not, it's a clear regression that needs to be dealt with.

Solution is to use a spinlock for serializing these state checks and
transitions - unlike ffs-&gt;mutex it can be taken in these callbacks
and it doesn't disrupt the timings in open().

We could introduce a new spinlock, but it's easier to use the one
that is already there (ffs-&gt;eps_lock) instead - the locking
environment is safe for it in all affected places.

Since now it is held over all places that alter or check the
open count (ffs-&gt;opened), there's no need to keep that atomic_t -
int would serve just fine and it's simpler that way.

To avoid subtle issues with getting to ffs from epfiles in
ffs_epfiles_destroy(), pass the superblock as explicit argument.
Callers have it anyway.

<title>functionfs: don't abuse ffs_data_closed() on fs shutdown</title>

[ Upstream commit fcb8985143540cbcb8e91c0ea8b7fb5d37c88177 ]

ffs_data_closed() has a seriously confusing logics in it: in addition
to the normal "decrement a counter and do some work if it hits zero"
there's "... and if it has somehow become negative, do that" bit.

It's not a race, despite smelling rather fishy.  What really happens
is that in addition to "call that on close of files there, to match
the increments of counter on opens" there's one call in -&gt;kill_sb().
Counter starts at 0 and never goes negative over the lifetime of
filesystem (or we have much worse problems everywhere - -&gt;release()
call of some file somehow unpaired with successful -&gt;open() of the
same).  At the filesystem shutdown it will be 0 or, again, we have
much worse problems - filesystem instance destroyed with files on it
still open.  In other words, at that call and at that call alone
the decrement would go from 0 to -1, hitting that chunk (and not
hitting the "if it hits 0" part).

So that check is a weirdly spelled "called from ffs_kill_sb()".
Just expand the call in the latter and kill the misplaced chunk
in ffs_data_closed().

[ Upstream commit e2674dfbed8a30d57e2bc872c4bfa6c3eec918bf ]

ueagle-atm uses the asynchronous request_firmware_nowait() in .probe(),
but does not wait for its completion, not even in .disconnect(); so, if the
device is unplugged meanwhile, its teardown runs concurrently with that.

Even though this inconsistency is worth addressing on its own, it has also
triggered several bug reports in syzbot over the years (some auto-closed)
where the firmware sysfs fallback mechanism (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER)
creates a firmware subdirectory in the device directory during its removal,
which might hit unexpected conditions in kernfs, apparently, depending at
which point the add and remove operations raced. (See links.)

The pattern is:

usb ?-?: Direct firmware load for ueagle-atm/eagle?.fw failed with error -2
usb ?-?: Falling back to sysfs fallback for: ueagle-atm/eagle?.fw
&lt;ERROR&gt;
Call trace:
 ...
 kernfs_create_dir_ns
 sysfs_create_dir_ns
 create_dir
 kobject_add_internal
 kobject_add_varg
 kobject_add
 class_dir_create_and_add
 get_device_parent
 device_add
 fw_load_sysfs_fallback
 fw_load_from_user_helper
 firmware_fallback_sysfs
 _request_firmware
 request_firmware_work_func
 ...

(Some variations are observed, after fw_load_sysfs_fallback(), e.g., [1].)

While the kernfs side is being looked at, the ueagle-atm side can be fixed
by waiting for the pre-firmware load in the .disconnect() handler.

This change has a similar approach to previous work by Andrey Tsygunka [2]
(wait_for_completion() in .disconnect()), but it is relatively different in
design/implementation; using the Originally-by tag for credit assignment.

This has been tested with:
- synthetic reproducer to check the error path;
- USB gadget (virtual device) to check the firmware upload path;
- QEMU device emulator to check the device ID re-enumeration path;
(The latter two were written by Claude; no other code/text in this commit.)

While in there, correct the verb form and add 'with' for clarity.

[ Upstream commit e0f844d9d74200d311c6438a0f04270834ba5365 ]

The dwc3_ulpi_setup() calls the register read and write calls with
dwc3-&gt;regs when both these calls take the dwc3 structure directly.

Chnage these two calls to fix the following sparse warning, and
possibly a nasty bug in the dwc3_ulpi_setup() code:
