Alan Stern bea1946b69 USB: gadget: dummy-hcd: Fix locking bug in RT-enabled kernels
commit 8d63c83d8eb922f6c316320f50c82fa88d099bea upstream.

Yunseong Kim and the syzbot fuzzer both reported a problem in
RT-enabled kernels caused by the way dummy-hcd mixes interrupt
management and spin-locking.  The pattern was:

	local_irq_save(flags);
	spin_lock(&dum->lock);
	...
	spin_unlock(&dum->lock);
	...		// calls usb_gadget_giveback_request()
	local_irq_restore(flags);

The code was written this way because usb_gadget_giveback_request()
needs to be called with interrupts disabled and the private lock not
held.

While this pattern works fine in non-RT kernels, it's not good when RT
is enabled.  RT kernels handle spinlocks much like mutexes; in particular,
spin_lock() may sleep.  But sleeping is not allowed while local
interrupts are disabled.

To fix the problem, rewrite the code to conform to the pattern used
elsewhere in dummy-hcd and other UDC drivers:

	spin_lock_irqsave(&dum->lock, flags);
	...
	spin_unlock(&dum->lock);
	usb_gadget_giveback_request(...);
	spin_lock(&dum->lock);
	...
	spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dum->lock, flags);

This approach satisfies the RT requirements.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
