[PATCH 01/11] net/9p/usbg: clear stale client pointer on close

From: Michael Grzeschik

Date: Thu Mar 19 2026 - 06:04:16 EST


From: Hyungjung Joo <jhj140711@xxxxxxxxx>

p9_usbg_close() tears down the client transport, but usb9pfs keeps
using usb9pfs->client from asynchronous TX and RX completion handlers.
A late completion can therefore dereference a client that has already
been freed during mount teardown.

Clear usb9pfs->client under usb9pfs->lock when closing the transport,
detach any pending TX request from in_req->context, and make the TX/RX
completion handlers bail out once the transport has been detached. This
keeps late completions from touching a freed or rebound p9_client.

Fixes: a3be076dc174 ("net/9p/usbg: Add new usb gadget function transport")
