usb: ohci: Proper handling of ed_rm_list to handle race condition between usb_kill_urb() and finish_unlinks() There is a race condition between finish_unlinks->finish_urb() function and usb_kill_urb() in ohci controller case. The finish_urb calls spin_unlock(&ohci->lock) before usb_hcd_giveback_urb() function call, then if during this time, usb_kill_urb is called for another endpoint, then new ed will be added to ed_rm_list at beginning for unlink, and ed_rm_list will point to newly added. When finish_urb() is completed in finish_unlinks() and ed->td_list becomes empty as in below code (in finish_unlinks() function): if (list_empty(&ed->td_list)) { *last = ed->ed_next; ed->ed_next = NULL; } else if (ohci->rh_state == OHCI_RH_RUNNING) { *last = ed->ed_next; ed->ed_next = NULL; ed_schedule(ohci, ed); } The *last = ed->ed_next will make ed_rm_list to point to ed->ed_next and previously added ed by usb_kill_urb will be left unreferenced by ed_rm_list. This causes usb_kill_urb() hang forever waiting for finish_unlink to remove added ed from ed_rm_list. The main reason for hang in this race condtion is addition and removal of ed from ed_rm_list in the beginning during usb_kill_urb and later last* is modified in finish_unlinks(). As suggested by Alan Stern, the solution for proper handling of ohci->ed_rm_list is to remove ed from the ed_rm_list before finishing any URBs. Then at the end, we can add ed back to the list if necessary. This properly handle the updated ohci->ed_rm_list in usb_kill_urb().
