Subject: [PATCH 3.18 109/151] USB: dont cancel queued resets when unbinding drivers
3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Alan Stern <stern@...land.harvard.edu>
commit 524134d422316a59d5464ccbc12036bbe90c5563 upstream.
The USB stack provides a mechanism for drivers to request an
asynchronous device reset (usb_queue_reset_device()). The mechanism
uses a work item (reset_ws) embedded in the usb_interface structure
used by the driver, and the reset is carried out by a work queue
routine.
The asynchronous reset can race with driver unbinding. When this
happens, we try to cancel the queued reset before unbinding the
driver, on the theory that the driver won't care about any resets once
it is unbound.
However, thanks to the fact that lockdep now tracks work queue
accesses, this can provoke a lockdep warning in situations where the
device reset causes another interface's driver to be unbound; see
http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=141893165203776&w=2
for an example. The reason is that the work routine for reset_ws in
one interface calls cancel_queued_work() for the reset_ws in another
interface. Lockdep thinks this might lead to a work routine trying to
cancel itself. The simplest solution is not to cancel queued resets
when unbinding drivers.
This means we now need to acquire a reference to the usb_interface
when queuing a reset_ws work item and to drop the reference when the
work routine finishes. We also need to make sure that the
usb_interface structure doesn't outlive its parent usb_device; this
means acquiring and dropping a reference when the interface is created
and destroyed.
In addition, cancelling a queued reset can fail (if the device is in
the middle of an earlier reset), and this can cause usb_reset_device()
to try to rebind an interface that has been deallocated (see
http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=142175717016628&w=2 for details).
Acquiring the extra references prevents this failure.
