Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: dwc3: core: remove lock of otg mode during gadget suspend/resume to avoid deadlock

When config CONFIG_USB_DWC3_DUAL_ROLE is selected, and trigger system
to enter suspend status with below command:
echo mem > /sys/power/state
There will be a deadlock issue occurring. Detailed invoking path as
below:
dwc3_suspend_common()

spin_lock_irqsave(&dwc->lock, flags);              <-- 1st
dwc3_gadget_suspend(dwc);
    dwc3_gadget_soft_disconnect(dwc);
        spin_lock_irqsave(&dwc->lock, flags);      <-- 2nd

This issue is exposed by commit c7ebd8149ee5 (“usb: dwc3: gadget: Fix
NULL pointer dereference in dwc3_gadget_suspend”) that removes the code
of checking whether dwc->gadget_driver is NULL or not. It causes the
following code is executed and deadlock occurs when trying to get the
spinlock. In fact, the root cause is the commit 5265397f9442(“usb: dwc3:
Remove DWC3 locking during gadget suspend/resume”) that forgot to remove
the lock of otg mode. So, remove the redundant lock of otg mode during
gadget suspend/resume.
