    "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: atm: ueagle-atm: wait for pre-firmware load in .disconnect() ueagle-atm uses the asynchronous request_firmware_nowait() in .probe(), but does not wait for its completion, not even in .disconnect(); so, if the device is unplugged meanwhile, its teardown runs concurrently with that. Even though this inconsistency is worth addressing on its own, it has also triggered several bug reports in syzbot over the years (some auto-closed) where the firmware sysfs fallback mechanism (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER) creates a firmware subdirectory in the device directory during its removal, which might hit unexpected conditions in kernfs, apparently, depending at which point the add and remove operations raced. (See links.) The pattern is: usb ?-?: Direct firmware load for ueagle-atm/eagle?.fw failed with error -2 usb ?-?: Falling back to sysfs fallback for: ueagle-atm/eagle?.fw Call trace: ... kernfs_create_dir_ns sysfs_create_dir_ns create_dir kobject_add_internal kobject_add_varg kobject_add class_dir_create_and_add get_device_parent device_add fw_load_sysfs_fallback fw_load_from_user_helper firmware_fallback_sysfs _request_firmware request_firmware_work_func ... (Some variations are observed, after fw_load_sysfs_fallback(), e.g., [1].) While the kernfs side is being looked at, the ueagle-atm side can be fixed by waiting for the pre-firmware load in the .disconnect() handler. This change has a similar approach to pre",
