Currently, iowarrior_read() does not provide any protection for the
iowarrior structure, so the iowarrior structure is vulnerable to data-race.

Therefore, I think it is appropriate to protect the structure using
mutex_lock in iowarrior_read().

Fixes: 946b960d13c1 ("USB: add driver for iowarrior devices.")

How can this happen?  How was this tested?

And you didn't mention this in your changelog, why?

What prevents dev from becoming invalid after it is checked here?

Please use the guard() form here, it makes the change much simpler and
easier to review and maintain.

There is no separate reproduction code or bug report. However, all other
functions in iowarrior use mutex_lock to protect the iowarrior structure.
Only iowarrior_read does not use mutex_lock, which could potentially cause
bugs.

There is no reason why this function should not use mutex_lock,
so I think adding a lock is appropriate.

I'm not sure what this means. Can you explain it in more detail?

I didn't know such a convenient function existed. It certainly seems like
it would make maintenance easier, but it also seems like it would be a
good idea to consistently replace all mutex_locks in iowarrior.c with guard().

What do you think?

But if you don't have a report, and don't have this device, how can you
test this to make sure?

Fair enough, but do it properly please.

What happens if the private_data pointer becomes "stale" right after
checking it is not NULL?  You need to explain how it is safe, if it is,
to do this.

Actually, what ever sets this to NULL?  I think this check isn't needed
at all from looking at the code (hint, think about the lifetime of the
file pointer...)

Unless you have the hardware to test this, I would not worry about doing
conversions like this.  I think I have this device somewhere around in
my "big box of USB devices", but testing any driver changes for it will
take a while before I can find it.

Actually, in looking at the code further, I think the lock is not taken
on purpose, so if you want to change this, you will have to document why
it is now really needed and what will happen if it is not.

It cannot happen.

That would break the O_NONBLOCK case.

Looking at the code it indeed looks like iowarrior_read() can race
with itself. Strictly speaking it always could happen if a task used
fork() after open(). The driver tries to restrict its usage to one
thread, but I doubt that the logic is functional.

It seems to me the correct fix is something like this:

Subject: [PATCH] iowarrior: fix read racing against itself case

In a multithreaded application iowarrior_read() can race against itself.
It needs to take the mutex.

Well, I don't know why it's necessary to modify it like this.
I think it would be more appropriate to patch it to make it
more maintainable by using guard() as Greg suggested.

Allow me to explain detail.

guard() internally uses mutex_lock(). That means that

a) it will block
b) having blocked it will sleep in the state TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE

The driver itself uses TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE in iowarrior_read(),
when it waits for IO. That is entirely correct, as it waits for
an external device doing an operation that may never occur. You
must use TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE.

Now, if you use mutex_lock() to wait for a task waiting for IO
to occur in the state TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, you are indirectlywaiting for
an event that you must wait for in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE in the state
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.
That is a bug. You have created a task that cannot be killed (uid may not match),
but may have to be killed. Furthermore you block even in case the
device has been opened with O_NONBLOCK, which is a second bug.

These limitations are inherent in guard(). Therefore you cannot use
guard here.

Okay. But O_NONBLOCK flag check already exists, and I don't know
if we need to branch separately to mutex_trylock just because O_NONBLOCK
flag exists. I think mutex_lock_interruptible is enough.

And the point of locking is too late. I think it would be more appropriate to
read file->private_data and then lock it right away.

I think this patch is a more appropriate patch:

It will still block.

You are right. dev->present should be checked under the lock only.

This blocks. To quote the man page:

        O_NONBLOCK or O_NDELAY
               When  possible,  the file is opened in nonblocking mode.
		Neither the open() nor any subsequent I/O operations on the file descriptor which is
               returned will cause the calling process to wait.

The rest looks good to me.

Okay, I understand. Then I think it would be appropriate to do
the patch below to prevent blocking, but I have one question.

Currently, many misc usb drivers do not seem to handle the
O_NONBLOCK flag when using mutex_lock. If this is really
necessary code, I think it would require code modifications to
other functions inside iowarrior and many misc usb drivers.

What do you think about this?

Jeongjun Park

Yes. The quality of many drivers could be improved.
Feel free to make patches. However, the lack of quality elsewhere
does not justify a regression. Hence code fixing drivers already
correctly supporting O_NONBLOCK must be correct in that regard.

The formatting seems to be broken. In terms of content it is good.

Oh, this format was sent broken. I'm sending you the patch below again.
I'll send you a new patch with this patch right away.

And I'll try to write a patch for other functions and misc usbs that don't
support O_NONBLOCK properly soon.

Initialization is useless.

If so, I will modify only that part and send it to you as a patch.
