    usb: gadget: configfs: Restrict symlink creation is UDC already binded · 89e7252d
    Udipto Goswami authored
    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>
