This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: cdc-wdm: Make wdm_flush() interruptible and add wdm_fsync().
to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-next branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will also be merged in the next major kernel release during the merge window.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

From: Oliver Neukum oneukum@suse.com Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2020 23:17:55 +0900 Subject: USB: cdc-wdm: Make wdm_flush() interruptible and add wdm_fsync().
syzbot is reporting hung task at wdm_flush() [1], for there is a circular dependency that wdm_flush() from flip_close() for /dev/cdc-wdm0 forever waits for /dev/raw-gadget to be closed while close() for /dev/raw-gadget cannot be called unless close() for /dev/cdc-wdm0 completes.
Tetsuo Handa considered that such circular dependency is an usage error [2] which corresponds to an unresponding broken hardware [3]. But Alan Stern responded that we should be prepared for such hardware [4]. Therefore, this patch changes wdm_flush() to use wait_event_interruptible_timeout() which gives up after 30 seconds, for hardware that remains silent must be ignored. The 30 seconds are coming out of thin air.
Changing wait_event() to wait_event_interruptible_timeout() makes error reporting from close() syscall less reliable. To compensate it, this patch also implements wdm_fsync() which does not use timeout. Those who want to be very sure that data has gone out to the device are now advised to call fsync(), with a caveat that fsync() can return -EINVAL when running on older kernels which do not implement wdm_fsync().
This patch also fixes three more problems (listed below) found during exhaustive discussion and testing.
Since multiple threads can concurrently call wdm_write()/wdm_flush(), we need to use wake_up_all() whenever clearing WDM_IN_USE in order to make sure that all waiters are woken up. Also, error reporting needs to use fetch-and-clear approach in order not to report same error for multiple times.
Since wdm_flush() checks WDM_DISCONNECTING, wdm_write() should as well check WDM_DISCONNECTING.
In wdm_flush(), since locks are not held, it is not safe to dereference desc->intf after checking that WDM_DISCONNECTING is not set [5]. Thus, remove dev_err() from wdm_flush().
