Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drivers: usb: host: Fix deadlock in oxu_bus_suspend()
There is a deadlock in oxu_bus_suspend(), which is shown below:
(Thread 1) | (Thread 2)
| timer_action()
oxu_bus_suspend() | mod_timer()
spin_lock_irq() //(1) | (wait a time)
... | oxu_watchdog()
del_timer_sync() | spin_lock_irq() //(2)
(wait timer to stop) | ...
We hold oxu->lock in position (1) of thread 1, and use
del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need oxu->lock in position (2) of thread 2. As a result,
oxu_bus_suspend() will block forever.
This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of
spin_lock_irq(), which could let timer handler to obtain
the needed lock.
