hidpp_connect_event() has *four* time-of-check vs time-of-use (TOCTOU) races when it races with itself.
hidpp_connect_event() primarily runs from a workqueue but it also runs on probe() and if a "device-connected" packet is received by the hw when the thread running hidpp_connect_event() from probe() is waiting on the hw, then a second thread running hidpp_connect_event() will be started from the workqueue.
This opens the following races (note the below code is simplified):
1. Retrieving + printing the protocol (harmless race):
if (!hidpp->protocol_major) { hidpp_root_get_protocol_version() hidpp->protocol_major = response.rap.params[0]; }
We can actually see this race hit in the dmesg in the abrt output attached to rhbz#2227968:
[ 3064.624215] logitech-hidpp-device 0003:046D:4071.0049: HID++ 4.5 device connected. [ 3064.658184] logitech-hidpp-device 0003:046D:4071.0049: HID++ 4.5 device connected.
Testing with extra logging added has shown that after this the 2 threads take turn grabbing the hw access mutex (send_mutex) so they ping-pong through all the other TOCTOU cases managing to hit all of them:
2. Updating the name to the HIDPP name (harmless race):
if (hidpp->name == hdev->name) { ... hidpp->name = new_name; }
3. Initializing the power_supply class for the battery (problematic!):
hidpp_initialize_battery() { if (hidpp->battery.ps) return 0;
probe_battery(); /* Blocks, threads take turns executing this */
hidpp->battery.desc.properties = devm_kmemdup(dev, hidpp_battery_props, cnt, GFP_KERNEL);
hidpp->battery.ps = devm_power_supply_register(&hidpp->hid_dev->dev, &hidpp->battery.desc, cfg); }
4. Creating delayed input_device (potentially problematic):
if (hidpp->delayed_input) return;
hidpp->delayed_input = hidpp_allocate_input(hdev);
The really big problem here is 3. Hitting the race leads to the following sequence:
hidpp->battery.desc.properties = devm_kmemdup(dev, hidpp_battery_props, cnt, GFP_KERNEL);
hidpp->battery.ps = devm_power_supply_register(&hidpp->hid_dev->dev, &hidpp->battery.desc, cfg);
...
hidpp->battery.desc.properties = devm_kmemdup(dev, hidpp_battery_props, cnt, GFP_KERNEL);
hidpp->battery.ps = devm_power_supply_register(&hidpp->hid_dev->dev, &hidpp->battery.desc, cfg);
So now we have registered 2 power supplies for the same battery, which looks a bit weird from userspace's pov but this is not even the really big problem.
Notice how:
1. This is all devm-maganaged 2. The hidpp->battery.desc struct is shared between the 2 power supplies 3. hidpp->battery.desc points to the result from the second devm_kmemdup()
This causes a use after free scenario on USB disconnect of the receiver: 1. The last registered power supply class device gets unregistered 2. The memory from the last devm_kmemdup() call gets freed, hidpp->battery.desc.properties now points to freed memory 3. The first registered power supply class device gets unregistered, this involves sending a remove uevent to userspace which invokes power_supply_uevent() to fill the uevent data 4. power_supply_uevent() uses hidpp->battery.desc.properties which now points to freed memory leading to backtraces like this one:

There have been quite a few bug reports (see Link tags) about this crash.
Fix all the TOCTOU issues, including the really bad power-supply related system crash on USB disconnect, by making probe() use the workqueue for running hidpp_connect_event() too, so that it can never run more then once.
