Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-09-15 13:01:20 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: dwc3: Remove WARN_ON for device endpoint command timeouts

This commit addresses a rarely observed endpoint command timeout
which causes kernel panic due to warn when 'panic_on_warn' is enabled
and unnecessary call trace prints when 'panic_on_warn' is disabled.
It is seen during fast software-controlled connect/disconnect testcases.
The following is one such endpoint command timeout that we observed:

1. Connect
   =======
->dwc3_thread_interrupt
 ->dwc3_ep0_interrupt
  ->configfs_composite_setup
   ->composite_setup
    ->usb_ep_queue
     ->dwc3_gadget_ep0_queue
      ->__dwc3_gadget_ep0_queue
       ->__dwc3_ep0_do_control_data
        ->dwc3_send_gadget_ep_cmd

2. Disconnect
   ==========
->dwc3_thread_interrupt
 ->dwc3_gadget_disconnect_interrupt
  ->dwc3_ep0_reset_state
   ->dwc3_ep0_end_control_data
    ->dwc3_send_gadget_ep_cmd

In the issue scenario, in Exynos platforms, we observed that control
transfers for the previous connect have not yet been completed and end
transfer command sent as a part of the disconnect sequence and
processing of USB_ENDPOINT_HALT feature request from the host timeout.
This maybe an expected scenario since the controller is processing EP
commands sent as a part of the previous connect. It maybe better to
remove WARN_ON in all places where device endpoint commands are sent to
avoid unnecessary kernel panic due to warn.
