USB: g_mass_storage: Fix deadlock when driver is unbound As a holdover from the old g_file_storage gadget, the g_mass_storage legacy gadget driver attempts to unregister itself when its main operating thread terminates (if it hasn't been unregistered already). This is not strictly necessary; it was never more than an attempt to have the gadget fail cleanly if something went wrong and the main thread was killed. However, now that the UDC core manages gadget drivers independently of UDC drivers, this scheme doesn't work any more. A simple test: modprobe dummy-hcd modprobe g-mass-storage file=... rmmod dummy-hcd ends up in a deadlock with the following backtrace: sysrq: SysRq : Show Blocked State task PC stack pid father file-storage D 0 1130 2 0x00000000 Call Trace: __schedule+0x53e/0x58c schedule+0x6e/0x77 schedule_preempt_disabled+0xd/0xf __mutex_lock.isra.1+0x129/0x224 ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x12/0x14 __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x12/0x14 mutex_lock+0x28/0x2b usb_gadget_unregister_driver+0x29/0x9b [udc_core] usb_composite_unregister+0x10/0x12 [libcomposite] msg_cleanup+0x1d/0x20 [g_mass_storage] msg_thread_exits+0xd/0xdd7 [g_mass_storage] fsg_main_thread+0x1395/0x13d6 [usb_f_mass_storage] ? __schedule+0x573/0x58c kthread+0xd9/0xdb ? do_set_interface+0x25c/0x25c [usb_f_mass_storage] ? init_completion+0x1e/0x1e ret_from_fork+0x19/0x24 rmmod D 0 1155 683 0x00000000 Call Trace: __schedule+0x53e/0x58c schedule+0x6e/0x77 schedule_timeout+0x26/0xbc ? __schedule+0x573/0x58c do_wait_for_common+0xb3/0x128 ? usleep_range+0x81/0x81 ? wake_up_q+0x3f/0x3f wait_for_common+0x2e/0x45 wait_for_completion+0x17/0x19 fsg_common_put+0x34/0x81 [usb_f_mass_storage] fsg_free_inst+0x13/0x1e [usb_f_mass_storage] usb_put_function_instance+0x1a/0x25 [libcomposite] msg_unbind+0x2a/0x42 [g_mass_storage] __composite_unbind+0x4a/0x6f [libcomposite] composite_unbind+0x12/0x14 [libcomposite] usb_gadget_remove_driver+0x4f/0x77 [udc_core] usb_del_gadget_udc+0x52/0xcc [udc_core] dummy_udc_remove+0x27/0x2c [dummy_hcd] platform_drv_remove+0x1d/0x31 device_release_driver_internal+0xe9/0x16d device_release_driver+0x11/0x13 bus_remove_device+0xd2/0xe2 device_del+0x19f/0x221 ? selinux_capable+0x22/0x27 platform_device_del+0x21/0x63 platform_device_unregister+0x10/0x1a cleanup+0x20/0x817 [dummy_hcd] SyS_delete_module+0x10c/0x197 ? ____fput+0xd/0xf ? task_work_run+0x55/0x62 ? prepare_exit_to_usermode+0x65/0x75 do_fast_syscall_32+0x86/0xc3 entry_SYSENTER_32+0x4e/0x7c What happens is that removing the dummy-hcd driver causes the UDC core to unbind the gadget driver, which it does while holding the udc_lock mutex. The unbind routine in g_mass_storage tells the main thread to exit and waits for it to terminate. But as mentioned above, when the main thread exits it tries to unregister the mass-storage function driver. Via the composite framework this ends up calling usb_gadget_unregister_driver(), which tries to acquire the udc_lock mutex. The result is deadlock. The simplest way to fix the problem is not to be so clever: The main thread doesn't have to unregister the function driver. The side effects won't be so terrible; if the gadget is still attached to a USB host when the main thread is killed, it will appear to the host as though the gadget's firmware has crashed -- a reasonably accurate interpretation, and an all-too-common occurrence for USB mass-storage devices. In fact, the code to unregister the driver when the main thread exits is specific to g-mass-storage; it is not used when f-mass-storage is included as a function in a larger composite device. Therefore the entire mechanism responsible for this (the fsg_operations structure with its ->thread_exits method, the fsg_common_set_ops() routine, and the msg_thread_exits() callback routine) can all be eliminated. Even the msg_registered bitflag can be removed, because now the driver is unregistered in only one place rather than in two places.
