Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> net: usb: r8152: fix resume reset deadlock<br /> <br /> rtl8152 can trigger device reset during reset which<br /> potentially can result in a deadlock:<br /> <br /> **** DPM device timeout after 10 seconds; 15 seconds until panic ****<br /> Call Trace:<br /> <br /> schedule+0x483/0x1370<br /> schedule_preempt_disabled+0x15/0x30<br /> __mutex_lock_common+0x1fd/0x470<br /> __rtl8152_set_mac_address+0x80/0x1f0<br /> dev_set_mac_address+0x7f/0x150<br /> rtl8152_post_reset+0x72/0x150<br /> usb_reset_device+0x1d0/0x220<br /> rtl8152_resume+0x99/0xc0<br /> usb_resume_interface+0x3e/0xc0<br /> usb_resume_both+0x104/0x150<br /> usb_resume+0x22/0x110<br /> <br /> The problem is that rtl8152 resume calls reset under<br /> tp-&gt;control mutex while reset basically re-enters rtl8152<br /> and attempts to acquire the same tp-&gt;control lock once<br /> again.<br /> <br /> Reset INACCESSIBLE device outside of tp-&gt;control mutex<br /> scope to avoid recursive mutex_lock() deadlock.
