Re: [PATCH v3 2/2] usb: gadget: uvc: prevent de-allocating inflight usb_requests

From: Michael Grzeschik

Hi Avichal

Thanks for the patch!

On Thu, Sep 28, 2023 at 01:19:04PM -0700, Avichal Rakesh wrote:
Currently, when stopping the stream, uvcg_video_enable immediately
deallocates the usb_requests after calling usb_ep_dequeue. However,
usb_ep_dequeue is asynchronous and it is possible that it a request
that is still in use by the controller. This can lead to some hard
to reproduce crashes with double frees and general memory
inconsistencies.

This patch sets up some stronger guarantees around when a request should
be deallocated. To that extent, this patch does the following:
1. When stream is stopped only the currently owned uvc_requests are freed
and all in-flight uvc_requests are marked 'abandoned'
2. uvc_video_complete callback is made responsible for freeing up the
abandoned requests. No uvc specific logic is triggered when handling
abandoned requests.

This ensures that the ownership of uvc_request (and its corresponding
usb_request) is never ambiguous, and uvc_requests are always freed
regardless of when the requests are returned to the gadget driver.

Other changes in the patch are required to decouple the allocated
uvc_requests from uvc_video that allocated them.


Unfortunatly the format of this patch is relly heavy to review. You are
changing to much at once. Could you please finegrain your changes in
smaller overall topics.

Starting with the transition from the one big kcalloc to the chaned
list. This patch will be easy to review.

After that you could address this issue you are refering to.

This will help the review alot. I already saw some changes that are
probably even completely unrelated.

v1 -> v2: Switched from a timed wait to free on complete model based
on discussions with Michael.
v3 -> v3: Initialized ureqs at init to prevent accessing invalid
memory when no stream is created.

This whole check of is_abondoned is really hard to read and understand.
Could it be somehow simplified?

to the ureqs list. Would it not be possible to separate the cleanup
