A USB device with no driver is an anomaly; in all likelihood we shouldn't be calling usb_choose_configuration() for such a device in the first place. So I think a better solution would be to put this check in usb_authorize_device() before it does the autoresume, or else to make usb_choose_configuration() return immediately, right at the start, if there is no driver.

It's possible that usb_choose_configuration() can get called when a USB device has no driver. In this case the recent commit a87b8e3be926 ("usb: core: Allow subclassed USB drivers to override usb_choose_configuration()") can cause a crash since it dereferenced the driver structure without checking for NULL. Let's add a check. This was seen in the real world when usbguard got ahold of a r8152 device at the wrong time. It can also be simulated via this on a computer with one r8152-based USB Ethernet adapter: cd /sys/bus/usb/drivers/r8152-cfgselector to_unbind="$(ls -d *-*)" real_dir="$(readlink -f "${to_unbind}")" echo "${to_unbind}" > unbind cd "${real_dir}" echo 0 > authorized echo 1 > authorized Fixes: a87b8e3be926 ("usb: core: Allow subclassed USB drivers to override usb_choose_configuration()") Signed-off-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> --- drivers/usb/core/generic.c | 14 +++++++++----- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-)
