Greg:

See below...
I have tracked this bug down. The root causes lie in
usb_register_dev() and usb_deregister_dev().

The first problem is that usb_deregister_dev() sets
usb_minors[intf->minor] to NULL before calling device_destroy() on the
class device. This leaves a window during which another thread can
allocate the same minor number but will encounter a duplicate name
error when it tries to register its own class device.

This error shows up in the kernel log from the syzbot test (not shown
in the bug report above, though):

[ 120.583776][ T1775] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/class/usbmisc/ldusb0'

This can be fixed easily enough by reordering the statements in
usb_deregister_dev().

The second problem is in usb_register_dev(). When that routine runs,
it first allocates a minor number, then drops minor_rwsem, and then
creates the class device. If the device creation fails, the minor
number is deallocated and the whole routine returns an error. But
during the time while minor_rwsem was dropped, there is a window in
which the minor number is allocated and so another thread could
successfully open the device file!

These two scenarios are exactly what happened during the syzbot test.
Minor number 0 was deallocated and then allocated in another thread.
The second allocation failed because the old class device was still in
existence. As a result of this failure, ldusb's private data structure
was released. Nevertheless, a third thread managed to open the device
file during the brief time that minor number 0 was re-allocated. When
that thread closed the file, it tried to access the private data
structure that had already been released.

I believe the patch below will fix both problems. But you should take
a look at it first to see if it seems right; syzbot can't really test
the patch because it involves two separate races both coming out wrong!

I will. I was waiting to see if Greg KH had any comments.

Ugh, nasty races, good find. Your fixes look fine, feel free to turn
this into a patch I can submit and I will do so.

The syzbot fuzzer has found two (!) races in the USB character device
registration and deregistration routines. This patch fixes the races.

The first race results from the fact that usb_deregister_dev() sets
usb_minors[intf->minor] to NULL before calling device_destroy() on the
class device. This leaves a window during which another thread can
allocate the same minor number but will encounter a duplicate name
error when it tries to register its own class device. A typical error
message in the system log would look like:

sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/class/usbmisc/ldusb0'

The patch fixes this race by destroying the class device first.

The second race is in usb_register_dev(). When that routine runs, it
first allocates a minor number, then drops minor_rwsem, and then
creates the class device. If the device creation fails, the minor
number is deallocated and the whole routine returns an error. But
during the time while minor_rwsem was dropped, there is a window in
which the minor number is allocated and so another thread can
successfully open the device file. Typically this results in
use-after-free errors or invalid accesses when the other thread closes
its open file reference, because the kernel then tries to release
resources that were already deallocated when usb_register_dev()
failed. The patch fixes this race by keeping minor_rwsem locked
throughout the entire routine.
