In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: xhci: Fix sleep in atomic context in xhci_free_streams()
When a USB device with active stream endpoints is disconnected,
xhci_free_streams() is called from the hub_event workqueue to
free the stream resources. It calls xhci_free_stream_info()
while holding xhci->lock with irqs disabled.
xhci_free_stream_info() invokes xhci_free_stream_ctx(), which
calls dma_free_coherent() for large stream context arrays.
dma_free_coherent() can sleep (e.g. via vunmap), triggering
a BUG when called from atomic context.
Call trace:
dma_free_attrs+0x174/0x220
xhci_free_stream_info+0xd0/0x11c
xhci_free_streams+0x278/0x37c
usb_free_streams+0x98/0xc0
usb_unbind_interface+0x1b8/0x2f8
device_release_driver_internal+0x1d4/0x2cc
device_release_driver+0x18/0x28
bus_remove_device+0x160/0x1a4

usb_disconnect+0xf0/0x35c
hub_event+0xab4/0x19ec
process_one_work+0x278/0x63c
Fix this by saving the stream_info pointers and clearing the
ep references under the lock, then calling xhci_free_stream_info()
outside the lock where sleeping is allowed.
