The issue is reproducible immediately on QEMU instance with
USB_DUMMY_HCD and USB_RAW_GADGET. I don't know about real port100 NFC
device.

I spent some time looking into this and have no clue, except that it
looks like an effect of a race condition.

1. When using syskaller reproducer against one USB device (In the C
reproducer change the loop in main() to use procid=0) - issue does not
happen.

2. With two threads or more talking to separate Dummy USB devices, the
issue appears. The more of them, the better...

3. The reported problem is in missing complete. The correct flow is like:
port100_probe()
port100_get_command_type_mask()
port100_send_cmd_sync()
port100_send_cmd_async()
port100_submit_urb_for_ack()
port100_send_complete()
[   63.363863] port100 2-1:0.0: NFC: Urb failure (status -71)
port100_recv_ack()
[   63.369942] port100 2-1:0.0: NFC: Urb failure (status -71)

and schedule_work() which completes and unblocks port100_send_cmd_sync

However in the failing case (hung task) the port100_recv_ack() is never
called. It looks like USB core / HCD / gadget does not send the Ack/URB
complete.

I don't know why. The port100 NFC driver code looks OK, except it is not
prepared for missing ack/urb so it waits indefinitely. I could try to
convert it to wait_for_completion_timeout() but it won't be trivial and
more important - I am not sure if this is the problem. Somehow the ACK
with Urb failure is not sent back to the port100 device. Therefore I am
guessing that the race condition is somwhere in USB stack, not in
port100 driver.

The lockdep and other testing tools did not find anything here.

Anyone hints where the issue could be?
Here's what I wrote earlier: "It looks like the problem stems from the fact 
that port100_send_frame_async() submits two URBs, but 
port100_send_cmd_sync() only waits for one of them to complete.  The other 
URB may then still be active when the driver tries to reuse it."

Of course, there may be more than one problem, so we may not be talking 
about the same thing.
Hi Alan, Felipe, Greg and others,

This is an old issue reported by syzkaller for NFC port100 driver [1].
There is something similar for pn533 [2].

I was looking at it some time ago, took a break and now I am trying to
fix it again. Without success.

The issue is reproducible via USB gadget on QEMU, not on real HW. I
looked and debugged the code and I think previously mentioned
double-URB-submit is not the reason here. Or I miss how the USB works
(which is quite probable...).

1. The port100 driver calls port100_send_cmd_sync() which eventually
goes to port100_send_frame_async(). After it, it waits for "sync"
completion.

2. In port100_send_frame_async(), driver indeed first submits "out_urb"
which quite fast is being processed by dummy_hcd with "no ep configured"
and -EPROTO.

3. Then (or sometimes before -EPROTO response from (2) above) the
port100_send_frame_async() submits "in_urb" via
port100_submit_urb_for_ack() and waits for its completion. Completion of
"in_urb" (or the "ack") in port100_recv_ack() would schedule work to
complete the (1) above - the sync completion.

4. Usually, when reproducer works fine (does not trigger issue), the
dummy_timer() from gadget responds with the same "no ep configured for
urb" for this "in_urb" (3). This completes "in_urb", which eventually
completes (1) and probe finishes with error. Error is expected, because
it's random junk-gadget...

The syzkaller reproducer fails if >1 of threads are running these usb
gadgets.  When this happens, no "in_urb" completion happens. No this
"ack" port100_recv_ack().

I added some debugs and simply dummy_hcd dummy_timer() is woken up on
enqueuing in_urb and then is looping crazy on a previous URB (some older
URB, coming from before port100 driver probe started). The dummy_timer()
loop never reaches the second "in_urb" to process it, I think.

The pn533 NFC driver has similar design, but I have now really doubts it
is a NFC driver issue. Instead an issue in dummy gadget HCD is somehow
triggered by the reproducer.

Reproduction - just follow [1] or [2]. Eventually I slightly tweaked the
code and put here:
https://github.com/krzk/tools/tree/master/tests-var/nfc/port100_probe
$ make
$ sudo ./port100_probe
