Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-04-03 16:05:20 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: usb: aqc111: Do not perform PM inside suspend callback

syzbot reports "task hung in rpm_resume"

This is caused by aqc111_suspend calling
the PM variant of its write_cmd routine.

The simplified call trace looks like this:

rpm_suspend()
  usb_suspend_both() - here udev->dev.power.runtime_status == RPM_SUSPENDING
    aqc111_suspend() - called for the usb device interface
      aqc111_write32_cmd()
        usb_autopm_get_interface()
          pm_runtime_resume_and_get()
            rpm_resume() - here we call rpm_resume() on our parent
              rpm_resume() - Here we wait for a status change that will never happen.

At this point we block another task which holds
rtnl_lock and locks up the whole networking stack.

Fix this by replacing the write_cmd calls with their _nopm variants
