    USB: gadget: dummy-hcd: Fix "task hung" problem · 5189df7b
    Alan Stern authored
    The syzbot fuzzer has been encountering "task hung" problems ever
    since the dummy-hcd driver was changed to use hrtimers instead of
    regular timers.  It turns out that the problems are caused by a subtle
    difference between the timer_pending() and hrtimer_active() APIs.
    
    The changeover blindly replaced the first by the second.  However,
    timer_pending() returns True when the timer is queued but not when its
    callback is running, whereas hrtimer_active() returns True when the
    hrtimer is queued _or_ its callback is running.  This difference
    occasionally caused dummy_urb_enqueue() to think that the callback
    routine had not yet started when in fact it was almost finished.  As a
    result the hrtimer was not restarted, which made it impossible for the
    driver to dequeue later the URB that was just enqueued.  This caused
    usb_kill_urb() to hang, and things got worse from there.
    
    Since hrtimers have no API for telling when they are queued and the
    callback isn't running, the driver must keep track of this for itself.
    That's what this patch does, adding a new "timer_pending" flag and
    setting or clearing it at the appropriate times.
