Description Maik Stohn 2019-07-21 21:53:50 UTC 
XHCI driver causes a kernel Ooops with a "BUG: NULL pointer dereference" message.

This started with Kernel 5.2 and is still present in 5.2.1

Bug was introduced by patch: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10919167 / commit 33e39350ebd20fe6a77a51b8c21c3aa6b4a208cf - "usb: xhci: add Immediate Data Transfer support"

It seems to be a race condition triggered by a user land program which immediately accesses the just enumerated USB device.

The NULL pointer dereference is either in "xhci.h" new function "xhci_urb_suitable_for_idt" (maybe "urb->ep->desc" is NULL)

or in "xhci-ring.c function "xhci_queue_bulk_tx" (new code added by the mentioned patch) (maybe "urb->transfer_buffer" is NULL)


Adding some NULL checks before using the pointers should solve the problem.


Greetings,

Maik Stohn

All USB bugs should be sent to the linux-usb@vger.kernel.org mailing
list, and not entered into bugzilla.  Please bring this issue up there,
if it is still a problem in the latest kernel release.
Comment 2 Maik Stohn 2019-08-01 12:29:06 UTC 
The cause of this regression was found and a patch is available / included since 5.2.5 kernel:

commit ddc2ea0c281bfa75dfedeba1a336ce449a7b9480
Author: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@linux.intel.com>
Date:   Thu Jul 25 11:54:21 2019 +0300

    xhci: Fix crash if scatter gather is used with Immediate Data Transfer (IDT).
    
    commit d39b5bad8658d6d94cb2d98a44a7e159db4f5030 upstream.
    
    A second regression was found in the immediate data transfer (IDT)
    support which was added to 5.2 kernel
    
    IDT is used to transfer small amounts of data (up to 8 bytes) in the
    field normally used for data dma address, thus avoiding dma mapping.
    
    If the data was not already dma mapped, then IDT support assumed data was
    in urb->transfer_buffer, and did not take into accound that even
    small amounts of data (8 bytes) can be in a scatterlist instead.
    
    This caused a NULL pointer dereference when sg_dma_len() was used
    with non-dma mapped data.
    
    Solve this by not using IDT if scatter gather buffer list is used.
