commit 57999d1107 upstream.
There used to be an integer overflow check in proc_do_submiturb() but
we removed it. It turns out that it's still required. The
uurb->buffer_length variable is a signed integer and it's controlled by
the user. It can lead to an integer overflow when we do:
num_sgs = DIV_ROUND_UP(uurb->buffer_length, USB_SG_SIZE);
If we strip away the macro then that line looks like this:
num_sgs = (uurb->buffer_length + USB_SG_SIZE - 1) / USB_SG_SIZE;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It's the first addition which can overflow.

commit 2ef47001b3 upstream.
The USB kerneldoc says that the actual_length field "is read in
non-iso completion functions", but the usbfs driver uses it for all
URB types in processcompl(). Since not all of the host controller
drivers set actual_length for isochronous URBs, programs using usbfs
with some host controllers don't work properly. For example, Minas
reports that a USB camera controlled by libusb doesn't work properly
with a dwc2 controller.
It doesn't seem worthwhile to change the HCDs and the documentation,
since the in-kernel USB class drivers evidently don't rely on
actual_length for isochronous transfers. The easiest solution is for
usbfs to calculate the actual_length value for itself, by adding up
the lengths of the individual packets in an isochronous transfer.

commit 845d584f41 upstream.
Taking the uurb->buffer_length userspace passes in as a maximum for the
actual urbs transfer_buffer_length causes 2 serious issues:
1) It breaks isochronous support for all userspace apps using libusb,
as existing libusb versions pass in 0 for uurb->buffer_length,
relying on the kernel using the lenghts of the usbdevfs_iso_packet_desc
descriptors passed in added together as buffer length.
This for example causes redirection of USB audio and Webcam's into
virtual machines using qemu-kvm to no longer work. This is a userspace
ABI break and as such must be reverted.
Note that the original commit does not protect other users / the
kernels memory, it only stops the userspace process making the call
from shooting itself in the foot.
2) It may cause the kernel to program host controllers to DMA over random
memory. Just as the devio code used to only look at the iso_packet_desc
lenghts, the host drivers do the same, relying on the submitter of the
urbs to make sure the entire buffer is large enough and not checking
transfer_buffer_length.
But the "USB: devio: Don't corrupt user memory" commit now takes the
userspace provided uurb->buffer_length for the buffer-size while copying
over the user-provided iso_packet_desc lengths 1:1, allowing the user
to specify a small buffer size while programming the host controller to
dma a lot more data.
(Atleast the ohci, uhci, xhci and fhci drivers do not check
transfer_buffer_length for isoc transfers.)
This reverts commit fa1ed74eb1 ("USB: devio: Don't corrupt user memory")
fixing both these issues.

Investigation using kgdb() found that the wait queue that was passed
into wake_up() had been freed (it was filled with slub_debug poison).
I analyzed and instrumented the code and reproduced. My current
belief is that this is happening:
1. async_completed() is called (from IRQ). Moves "as" onto the
completed list.
2. On another CPU, proc_reapurbnonblock_compat() calls
async_getcompleted(). Blocks on spinlock.
3. async_completed() releases the lock; keeps running; gets blocked
midway through wake_up().
4. proc_reapurbnonblock_compat() => async_getcompleted() gets the
lock; removes "as" from completed list and frees it.
5. usbdev_release() is called. Frees "ps".
6. async_completed() finally continues running wake_up(). ...but
wake_up() has a pointer to the freed "ps".
The instrumentation that led me to believe this was based on adding
some trace_printk() calls in a select few functions and then using
kdb's "ftdump" at crash time. The trace follows (NOTE: in the trace
below I cheated a little bit and added a udelay(1000) in
async_completed() after releasing the spinlock because I wanted it to
trigger quicker):

To fix this problem we can just move the wake_up() under the ps->lock.
There should be no issues there that I'm aware of.

commit 53e5f36fbd upstream.
UBSAN complains about a left shift by -1 in proc_do_submiturb(). This
can occur when an URB is submitted for a bulk or control endpoint on
a high-speed device, since the code doesn't bother to check the
endpoint type; normally only interrupt or isochronous endpoints have
a nonzero bInterval value.
Aside from the fact that the operation is illegal, it shouldn't matter
because the result isn't used. Still, in theory it could cause a
hardware exception or other problem, so we should work around it.
This patch avoids doing the left shift unless the shift amount is >= 0.
The same piece of code has another problem. When checking the device
speed (the exponential encoding for interrupt endpoints is used only
by high-speed or faster devices), we need to look for speed >=
USB_SPEED_SUPER as well as speed == USB_SPEED HIGH. The patch adds
this check.

The usbfs API has a peculiar hole: Users are not allowed to reap their
URBs after the device has been disconnected. There doesn't seem to be
any good reason for this; it is an ad-hoc inconsistency.
The patch allows users to issue the USBDEVFS_REAPURB and
USBDEVFS_REAPURBNDELAY ioctls (together with their 32-bit counterparts
on 64-bit systems) even after the device is gone. If no URBs are
pending for a disconnected device then the ioctls will return -ENODEV
rather than -EAGAIN, because obviously no new URBs will ever be able
to complete.

This allows userspace to use bulk-streams, just like in kernel drivers, see
Documentation/usb/bulk-streams.txt for details on the in kernel API. This
is exported pretty much one on one to userspace.
To use streams an app must first make a USBDEVFS_ALLOC_STREAMS ioctl,
on success this will return the number of streams available (which may be
less then requested). If there are n streams the app can then submit
usbdevfs_urb-s with their stream_id member set to 1-n to use a specific
stream. IE if USBDEVFS_ALLOC_STREAMS returns 4 then stream_id 1-4 can be
used.
When the app is done using streams it should call USBDEVFS_FREE_STREAMS
Note applications are advised to use libusb rather then using the
usbdevfs api directly. The latest version of libusb has support for streams.

This patch makes it possible to specify a bulk stream id when submitting
an urb using the async usbfs API. It overloads the number_of_packets
usbdevfs_urb field for this. This is not pretty, but given other
constraints it is the best we can do. The reasoning leading to this goes
as follows:
1) We want to support bulk streams in the usbfs API
2) We do not want to extend the usbdevfs_urb struct with a new member, as
that would mean defining new ioctl numbers for all async API ioctls +
adding compat versions for the old ones (times 2 for 32 bit support)
3) 1 + 2 means we need to re-use an existing field
4) number_of_packets is only used for isoc urbs, and streams are bulk only
so it is the best (and only) candidate for re-using
Note that:
1) This patch only uses number_of_packets as stream_id if the app has
actually allocated streams on the ep, so that old apps which may have
garbage in there (as it was unused until now in the bulk case), will not
break
2) This patch does not add support for allocating / freeing bulk-streams, that
is done in a follow up patch

It is an error for a driver to call usb_clear_halt() or
usb_reset_endpoint() while there are URBs queued for the endpoint,
because the end result is not well defined. At the time the endpoint
gets reset, it may or may not be actively running.
As far as I know, no kernel drivers do this. But some userspace
drivers do, and it seems like a good idea to bring this error to their
attention.
This patch adds a warning to the kernel log whenever a program invokes
the USBDEVFS_CLEAR_HALT or USBDEVFS_RESETEP ioctls at an inappropriate
time, and includes the name of the program. This will make it clear
that any subsequent errors are not due to the misbehavior of a kernel
driver.

Trying to read data from the Pegasus Technologies NoteTaker (0e20:0101)
[1] with the Windows App (EasyNote) works natively but fails when
Windows is running under KVM (and the USB device handed to KVM).
The reason is a USB control message
usb 4-2.2: control urb: bRequestType=22 bRequest=09 wValue=0200 wIndex=0001 wLength=0008
This goes to endpoint address 0x01 (wIndex); however, endpoint address
0x01 does not exist. There is an endpoint 0x81 though (same number,
but other direction); the app may have meant that endpoint instead.
The kernel thus rejects the IO and thus we see the failure.
Apparently, Linux is more strict here than Windows ... we can't change
the Win app easily, so that's a problem.
It seems that the Win app/driver is buggy here and the driver does not
behave fully according to the USB HID class spec that it claims to
belong to. The device seems to happily deal with that though (and
seems to not really care about this value much).
So the question is whether the Linux kernel should filter here.
Rejecting has the risk that somewhat non-compliant userspace apps/
drivers (most likely in a virtual machine) are prevented from working.
Not rejecting has the risk of confusing an overly sensitive device with
such a transfer. Given the fact that Windows does not filter it makes
this risk rather small though.
The patch makes the kernel more tolerant: If the endpoint address in
wIndex does not exist, but an endpoint with toggled direction bit does,
it will let the transfer through. (It does NOT change the message.)
With attached patch, the app in Windows in KVM works.
usb 4-2.2: check_ctrlrecip: process 13073 (qemu-kvm) requesting ep 01 but needs 81
I suspect this will mostly affect apps in virtual environments; as on
Linux the apps would have been adapted to the stricter handling of the
kernel. I have done that for mine[2].

For certain (HP) printers the printer device_id does not only contain a
static part identifying the printer, but it also contains a dynamic part
giving printer status, ink level, etc.
To get to this info various userspace utilities need to be able to make a
printer class 'get_device_id' request without first claiming the interface
(as that is in use for the actual printer driver).
Since the printer class 'get_device_id' request does not change interface
settings in anyway, allowing this without claiming the interface should not

When usbfs receives a ctrl-request from userspace it calls check_ctrlrecip,
which for a request with USB_RECIP_ENDPOINT tries to map this to an interface
to see if this interface is claimed, except for ctrl-requests with a type of
USB_TYPE_VENDOR.
When trying to use this device: http://www.akaipro.com/eiepro
redirected to a Windows vm running on qemu on top of Linux.
The windows driver makes a ctrl-req with USB_TYPE_CLASS and
USB_RECIP_ENDPOINT with index 0, and the mapping of the endpoint (0) to
the interface fails since ep 0 is the ctrl endpoint and thus never is
part of an interface.
This patch fixes this ctrl-req failing by skipping the checkintf call for
USB_RECIP_ENDPOINT ctrl-reqs on the ctrl endpoint.

Apps which deal with devices which also have a kernel driver, need to do
the following:
1) Check which driver is attached, so as to not detach the wrong driver
(ie detaching usbfs while another instance of the app is using the device)
2) Detach the kernel driver
3) Claim the interface
Where moving from one step to the next for both 1-2 and 2-3 consists of
a (small) race window. So currently such apps are racy and people just live
with it.
This patch adds a new ioctl which makes it possible for apps to do this
in a race free manner. For flexibility apps can choose to:
1) Specify the driver to disconnect
2) Specify to disconnect any driver except for the one named by the app
3) Disconnect any driver
Note that if there is no driver attached, the ioctl will just act like the
regular claim-interface ioctl, this is by design, as returning an error for
this condition would open a new bag of race-conditions.
Changes in v2:
-Fix indentation of if blocks where the condition spans multiple lines

When using urb->transfer_buffer we need to allocate physical contiguous buffers
for the entire transfer, which is pretty much guaranteed to fail with large
transfers.
Currently userspace works around this by breaking large transfers into multiple
urbs. For large bulk transfers this leads to all kind of complications.
This patch makes it possible for userspace to reliable submit large bulk
transfers to scatter-gather capable host controllers in one go, by using a
scatterlist to break the transfer up in managable chunks.

There are a few (new) usbdevfs capabilities which an application cannot
discover in any other way then checking the kernel version. There are 3
problems with this:
1) It is just not very pretty.
2) Given the tendency of enterprise distros to backport stuff it is not
reliable.
3) As discussed in length on the mailinglist, USBDEVFS_URB_BULK_CONTINUATION
does not work as it should when combined with USBDEVFS_URB_SHORT_NOT_OK
(which is its intended use) on devices attached to an XHCI controller.
So the availability of these features can be host controller dependent,
making depending on them based on the kernel version not a good idea.
This patch besides adding the new ioctl also adds flags for the following
existing capabilities:
USBDEVFS_CAP_ZERO_PACKET, available since 2.6.31
USBDEVFS_CAP_BULK_CONTINUATION, available since 2.6.32, except for XHCI
USBDEVFS_CAP_NO_PACKET_SIZE_LIM, available since 3.3
Note that this patch only does not advertise the USBDEVFS_URB_BULK_CONTINUATION
cap for XHCI controllers, bulk transfers with this flag set will still be
accepted when submitted to XHCI controllers.
Returning -EINVAL for them would break existing apps, and in most cases the
troublesome scenario wrt USBDEVFS_URB_SHORT_NOT_OK urbs on XHCI controllers
will never get hit, so this would break working use cases.
The disadvantage of not returning -EINVAL is that cases were it is causing
real trouble may go undetected / the cause of the trouble may be unclear,
but this is the best we can do.

There exist races in devio.c, below is one case,
and there are similar races in destroy_async()
and proc_unlinkurb(). Remove these races.
cancel_bulk_urbs() async_completed()
------------------- -----------------------
spin_unlock(&ps->lock);
list_move_tail(&as->asynclist,
&ps->async_completed);
wake_up(&ps->wait);
Lead to free_async() be triggered,
then urb and 'as' will be freed.
usb_unlink_urb(as->urb);
===> refer to the freed 'as'

This option has been deprecated for many years now, and no userspace
tools use it anymore, so it should be safe to finally remove it.

module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.
It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.
