Udipto Goswami 89e7252d6c usb: gadget: configfs: Restrict symlink creation is UDC already binded
During enumeration or composition switch,a userspace process
agnostic of the conventions of configs can try to create function
symlinks even after the UDC is bound to current config which is
not correct. Potentially it can create duplicates within the
current config.

Prevent this by adding a check if udc_name already exists, then bail
out of cfg_link.

Following is an example:

Step1:
ln -s X1 ffs.a
-->cfg_link
--> usb_get_function(ffs.a)
	->ffs_alloc

	CFG->FUNC_LIST: <ffs.a>
	C->FUNCTION: <empty>

Step2:
echo udc.name > /config/usb_gadget/g1/UDC
--> UDC_store
	->composite_bind
	->usb_add_function

	CFG->FUNC_LIST: <empty>
	C->FUNCTION: <ffs.a>

Step3:
ln -s Y1 ffs.a
-->cfg_link
-->usb_get_function(ffs.a)
	->ffs_alloc

	CFG->FUNC_LIST: <ffs.a>
	C->FUNCTION: <ffs.a>

both the lists corresponds to the same function instance ffs.a
but the usb_function* pointer is different because in step 3
ffs_alloc has created a new reference to usb_function* for
ffs.a and added it to cfg_list.

Step4:
Now a composition switch involving <ffs.b,ffs.a> is executed.

the composition switch will involve 3 things:
	1. unlinking the previous functions existing
	2. creating new symlinks
	3. writing UDC

However, the composition switch is generally taken care by
userspace process which creates the symlinks in its own
nomenclature(X*) and removes only those.
So it won't be able to remove Y1 which user had created
by own.

Due to this the new symlinks cannot be created for ffs.a
since the entry already exists in CFG->FUNC_LIST.

The state of the CFG->FUNC_LIST is as follows:
	CFG->FUNC_LIST: <ffs.a>

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
