From a1c33c80e11ecd5c3310a38c4be324095dd85ac5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gabriel Prostitis Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2026 08:44:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] USB: gadget: inode: fix mm lifetime handling priv stores a pointer to the submitting task's mm_struct, but does not currently hold a reference to it while async requests are pending. This can result in a use-after-free if the task exits before completion handling finishes. Take a reference with mmgrab() when queuing the read request and release it with mmdrop() on request completion.
