Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
usb: gadget: f_fs: Remove WARN_ON in functionfs_bind<br />
<br />
This commit addresses an issue related to below kernel panic where<br />
panic_on_warn is enabled. It is caused by the unnecessary use of WARN_ON<br />
in functionsfs_bind, which easily leads to the following scenarios.<br />
<br />
1.adb_write in adbd 2. UDC write via configfs<br />

state !=FFS_ACTIVE><br />
<br />
The adb_open, adb_read, and adb_write operations are invoked from the<br />
daemon, but trying to bind the function is a process that is invoked by<br />
UDC write through configfs, which opens up the possibility of a race<br />
condition between the two paths. In this race scenario, the kernel panic<br />
occurs due to the WARN_ON from functionfs_bind when panic_on_warn is<br />
enabled. This commit fixes the kernel panic by removing the unnecessary<br />
WARN_ON.<br />
<br />
