USB: Fix race condition when removing host controllers

2012-09-27T16:17:49Z

This patch (as1607) fixes a race that can occur if a USB host controller is removed while a process is reading the /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices file. The usb_device_read() routine uses the bus->root_hub pointer to determine whether or not the root hub is registered. The is not a valid test, because the pointer is set before the root hub gets registered and remains set even after the root hub is unregistered and deallocated. As a result, usb_device_read() or usb_device_dump() can access freed memory, causing an oops. The patch changes the test to use the hcd->rh_registered flag, which does get set and cleared at the appropriate times. It also makes sure to hold the usb_bus_list_lock mutex while setting the flag, so that usb_device_read() will become aware of new root hubs as soon as they are registered.

Pull random subsystem patches from Ted Ts'o: "This patch series contains a major revamp of how we collect entropy from interrupts for /dev/random and /dev/urandom. The goal is to addresses weaknesses discussed in the paper "Mining your Ps and Qs: Detection of Widespread Weak Keys in Network Devices", by Nadia Heninger, Zakir Durumeric, Eric Wustrow, J. Alex Halderman, which will be published in the Proceedings of the 21st Usenix Security Symposium, August 2012. (See https://factorable.net for more information and an extended version of the paper.)"

usb: Add USB_QUIRK_RESET_RESUME for all Logitech UVC webcams

2012-07-19T22:46:32Z

Most Logitech UVC webcams (both early models that don't advertise UVC compatibility and newer UVC-advertised devices) require the RESET_RESUME quirk. Instead of listing each and every model, match the devices based on the UVC interface information. Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart Acked-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

usb: Add quirk detection based on interface information

2012-07-19T22:44:58Z

When a whole class of devices (possibly from a specific vendor, or across multiple vendors) require a quirk, explictly listing all devices in the class make the quirks table unnecessarily large. Fix this by allowing matching devices based on interface information. Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart Acked-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
