Subject: [PATCH v6] usb: ohci: Proper handling of ed_rm_list to handle race condition between usb_kill_urb() and finish_unlinks()

From: AMAN DEEP <aman.deep@...sung.com>

There is a race condition between finish_unlinks->finish_urb() function
and usb_kill_urb() in ohci controller case. The finish_urb calls
spin_unlock(&ohci->lock) before usb_hcd_giveback_urb() function call,
then if during this time, usb_kill_urb is called for another endpoint,
then new ed will be added to ed_rm_list at beginning for unlink, and
ed_rm_list will point to newly added.

When finish_urb() is completed in finish_unlinks() and ed->td_list
becomes empty as in below code (in finish_unlinks() function):

        if (list_empty(&ed->td_list)) {
                *last = ed->ed_next;
                ed->ed_next = NULL;
        } else if (ohci->rh_state == OHCI_RH_RUNNING) {
                *last = ed->ed_next;
                ed->ed_next = NULL;
                ed_schedule(ohci, ed);
        }

The *last = ed->ed_next will make ed_rm_list to point to ed->ed_next
and previously added ed by usb_kill_urb will be left unreferenced by
ed_rm_list. This causes usb_kill_urb() hang forever waiting for
finish_unlink to remove added ed from ed_rm_list.

The main reason for hang in this race condtion is addition and removal
of ed from ed_rm_list in the beginning during usb_kill_urb and later
last* is modified in finish_unlinks().

As suggested by Alan Stern, the solution for proper handling of
ohci->ed_rm_list is to remove ed from the ed_rm_list before finishing
any URBs. Then at the end, we can add ed back to the list if necessary.

This properly handle the updated ohci->ed_rm_list in usb_kill_urb().

Changes in v6:
This is a resend of Aman Deep's v5 patch [0], which solved the hang we
hit [1]. (Thanks Aman :)

The v5 has some format issues, so i slightly adjust the commit message.
