It turns out the issue is not unlinking\nthe URB; that works just fine. Rather, the problem arises when the\nwakeup notification that the URB has completed is not received.\n\nThe reason is memory-access ordering on SMP systems. In outline form,\nusb_kill_urb() and __usb_hcd_giveback_urb() operating concurrently on\ndifferent CPUs perform the following actions:\n\nCPU 0\t\t\t\t\tCPU 1\n----------------------------\t\t---------------------------------\nusb_kill_urb():\t\t\t\t__usb_hcd_giveback_urb():\n ...\t\t\t\t\t ...\n atomic_inc(&urb->reject);\t\t atomic_dec(&urb->use_count);\n ...\t\t\t\t\t ...\n wait_event(usb_kill_urb_queue,\n\tatomic_read(&urb->use_count) == 0);\n\t\t\t\t\t if (atomic_read(&urb->reject))\n\t\t\t\t\t\twake_up(&usb_kill_urb_queue);\n\nConfining your attention to urb->reject and urb->use_count, you can\nsee that the overall pattern of accesses on CPU 0 is:\n\n\twrite urb->reject, then read urb->use_count;\n\nwhereas the overall pattern of accesses on CPU 1 is:\n\n\twrite urb->use_count, then read urb->reject.\n\nThis pattern is referred to in memory-model circles as SB (for \"Store\nBuffering\"), and it is well known that without suitable enforcement of\nthe desired order of accesses -- in the form of memory barriers -- it\nis entirely possible for one or both CPUs to execute their reads ahead\nof their writes. The end result will be that sometimes CPU 0 sees the\nold un-decremented value of urb->use_count while CPU 1 sees the old\nun-incremented value of urb->reject. Consequently CPU 0 ends up on\nthe wait queue and never gets woken up, leading to the observed hang\nin usb_kill_urb().\n\nThe same pattern of accesses occurs in usb_poison_urb() and the\nfailure pathway of usb_hcd_submit_urb().\n\nThe problem is fixed by adding suitable memory barriers. To provide\nproper memory-access ordering in the SB pattern, a full barrier is\nrequired on both CPUs. The atomic_inc() and atomic_dec() accesses\nthemselves don't provide any memory ordering, but since they are\npresent, we can use the optimized smp_mb__after_atomic() memory\nbarrier in the various routines to obtain the desired effect.\n\nThis patch adds the necessary memory barriers." } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo":
