CVE-2024-56670
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: u_serial: Fix the issue that gs_start_io crashed due to accessing null pointer
Considering that in some extreme cases, when u_serial driver is accessed by multiple threads, Thread A is executing the open operation and calling the gs_open, Thread B is executing the disconnect operation and calling the gserial_disconnect function,The port->port_usb pointer will be set to NULL.
This causes thread A to access a null pointer (port->port_usb is null) when calling the gs_free_requests function, causing a crash.
If port_usb is NULL, the release request will be skipped as it will be done by gserial_disconnect.

So add a null pointer check to gs_start_io before attempting to access the value of the pointer port->port_usb.
