Subject: [PATCH 0/8] can: usb: remove all usb_set_intfdata(intf, NULL) in drivers' disconnect()
Date: Sat,  3 Dec 2022 22:31:51 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221203133159.94414-1-mailhol.vincent@wanadoo.fr> (raw)

The core sets the usb_interface to NULL in [1]. Also setting it to
NULL in usb_driver::disconnects() is at best useless, at worse risky.

Indeed, if a driver set the usb interface to NULL before all actions
relying on the interface-data pointer complete, there is a risk of
NULL pointer dereference. Typically, this is the case if there are
outstanding urbs which have not yet completed when entering
disconnect().

If all actions are already completed, doing usb_set_intfdata(intf,
NULL) is useless because the core does it at [1].

The first seven patches fix all drivers which set their usb_interface
to NULL while outstanding URB might still exists. There is one patch
per driver in order to add the relevant "Fixes:" tag to each of them.

The last patch removes in bulk the remaining benign calls to
usb_set_intfdata(intf, NULL) in etas_es58x and peak_usb.

N.B. some other usb drivers outside of the can tree also have the same
issue, but this is out of scope of this.
