5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Baul Lee <redacted>

commit 459d3a64766f5ca2f1886daeaf24582831a5f5ab upstream.

bcd2000_free_usb_related_resources() frees both URBs and leaves the
pointers behind:

	usb_kill_urb(bcd2k->midi_out_urb);
	usb_kill_urb(bcd2k->midi_in_urb);

	usb_free_urb(bcd2k->midi_out_urb);
	usb_free_urb(bcd2k->midi_in_urb);

The rawmidi device outlives that call.  A substream that is still open
when the device is unplugged reaches bcd2000_midi_send() from the
trigger path on close.  That function writes to the freed URB and then
hands it to the USB core:

	bcd2k->midi_out_urb->transfer_buffer_length = BUFSIZE;
	...
	ret = usb_submit_urb(bcd2k->midi_out_urb, GFP_ATOMIC);

usb_kill_urb() does not stop a later submission either, so a submit that
races the disconnect can requeue the URB after it has been reaped.
midi_in_urb is exposed the same way: bcd2000_input_complete() resubmits
it from the completion handler.

KASAN on 7.2.0-rc5 (arm64):

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in bcd2000_midi_send [snd_bcd2000]
  Write of size 4 at addr ffff00001827d388 by task bpoc/168
   __asan_store4
   bcd2000_midi_send [snd_bcd2000]
   bcd2000_midi_output_trigger [snd_bcd2000]
   snd_rawmidi_kernel_write1
   close_substream.part.0
  Freed by task 168:
   usb_free_urb
   bcd2000_disconnect [snd_bcd2000]

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in usb_submit_urb
  Read of size 8 at addr ffff00001827d3b8 by task bpoc/168

Clear both pointers after freeing and test them on the paths that can
still run.  Poison the URBs before freeing them: usb_poison_urb() waits
for a running completion handler and rejects any later submission, so
after it returns the input path is quiesced and only the rawmidi trigger
path can still reach bcd2000_midi_send().  No unpoison is needed; the
URBs are freed on the next line.
