Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: Remove WARN_ON for device endpoint command timeouts
This commit addresses a rarely observed endpoint command timeout
which causes kernel panic due to warn when 'panic_on_warn' is enabled
and unnecessary call trace prints when 'panic_on_warn' is disabled.
It is seen during fast software-controlled connect/disconnect testcases.
The following is one such endpoint command timeout that we observed:
1. Connect
=======
->dwc3_thread_interrupt
->dwc3_ep0_interrupt
->configfs_composite_setup
->composite_setup
->usb_ep_queue
->dwc3_gadget_ep0_queue
->__dwc3_gadget_ep0_queue
->__dwc3_ep0_do_control_data
->dwc3_send_gadget_ep_cmd
2. Disconnect
==========
->dwc3_thread_interrupt
->dwc3_gadget_disconnect_interrupt
->dwc3_ep0_reset_state
->dwc3_ep0_end_control_data
->dwc3_send_gadget_ep_cmd
In the issue scenario, in Exynos platforms, we observed that control
transfers for the previous connect have not yet been completed and end
transfer command sent as a part of the disconnect sequence and
processing of USB_ENDPOINT_HALT feature request from the host timeout.
This maybe an expected scenario since the controller is processing EP
commands sent as a part of the previous connect. It maybe better to
remove WARN_ON in all places where device endpoint commands are sent to
avoid unnecessary kernel panic due to warn.
