Hi Alan, Felipe, Greg and others,

This is an old issue reported by syzkaller for NFC port100 driver [1].
There is something similar for pn533 [2].

I was looking at it some time ago, took a break and now I am trying to
fix it again. Without success.

The issue is reproducible via USB gadget on QEMU, not on real HW. I
looked and debugged the code and I think previously mentioned
double-URB-submit is not the reason here. Or I miss how the USB works
(which is quite probable...).

1. The port100 driver calls port100_send_cmd_sync() which eventually
goes to port100_send_frame_async(). After it, it waits for "sync"
completion.

2. In port100_send_frame_async(), driver indeed first submits "out_urb"
which quite fast is being processed by dummy_hcd with "no ep configured"
and -EPROTO.

3. Then (or sometimes before -EPROTO response from (2) above) the
port100_send_frame_async() submits "in_urb" via
port100_submit_urb_for_ack() and waits for its completion. Completion of
"in_urb" (or the "ack") in port100_recv_ack() would schedule work to
complete the (1) above - the sync completion.

4. Usually, when reproducer works fine (does not trigger issue), the
dummy_timer() from gadget responds with the same "no ep configured for
urb" for this "in_urb" (3). This completes "in_urb", which eventually
completes (1) and probe finishes with error. Error is expected, because
it's random junk-gadget...

The syzkaller reproducer fails if >1 of threads are running these usb
gadgets.  When this happens, no "in_urb" completion happens. No this
"ack" port100_recv_ack().

I added some debugs and simply dummy_hcd dummy_timer() is woken up on
enqueuing in_urb and then is looping crazy on a previous URB (some older
URB, coming from before port100 driver probe started). The dummy_timer()
loop never reaches the second "in_urb" to process it, I think.

The pn533 NFC driver has similar design, but I have now really doubts it
is a NFC driver issue. Instead an issue in dummy gadget HCD is somehow
triggered by the reproducer.

Reproduction - just follow [1] or [2]. Eventually I slightly tweaked the
code and put here:
https://github.com/krzk/tools/tree/master/tests-var/nfc/port100_probe
$ make
$ sudo ./port100_probe
