driver core: bus: Fix a potential double free

2017-09-13T21:03:46+00:00

commit 0f9b011d3321ca1079c7a46c18cb1956fbdb7bcb upstream. The .release function of driver_ktype is 'driver_release()'. This function frees the container_of this kobject. So, this memory must not be freed explicitly in the error handling path of 'bus_add_driver()'. Otherwise a double free will occur. Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: bus: Goto appropriate labels on failure in bus_add_device

2015-05-17T23:12:29+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1c34203a1496d1849ba978021b878b3447d433c8 ] It is not necessary to call device_remove_groups() when device_add_groups() fails. The group added by device_add_groups() should be removed if sysfs_create_link() fails.

driver core: Fix unbalanced device reference in drivers_probe

2015-01-16T14:59:50+00:00

commit bb34cb6bbd287b57e955bc5cfd42fcde6aaca279 upstream. bus_find_device_by_name() acquires a device reference which is never released. This results in an object leak, which on older kernels results in failure to release all resources of PCI devices. libvirt uses drivers_probe to re-attach devices to the host after assignment and is therefore a common trigger for this leak. Example: # cd /sys/bus/pci/ # dmesg -C # echo 1 > devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs # echo 0 > devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs # dmesg | grep 01:10 pci 0000:01:10.0: [8086:10ca] type 00 class 0x020000 kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): kobject_add_internal: parent: '0000:00:01.0', set: 'devices' kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): kobject_uevent_env kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): fill_kobj_path: path = '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:10.0' kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): kobject_uevent_env kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): fill_kobj_path: path = '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:10.0' kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): kobject_uevent_env kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): fill_kobj_path: path = '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:10.0' kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): kobject_cleanup, parent (null) kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): calling ktype release kobject: '0000:01:10.0': free name [kobject freed as expected] # dmesg -C # echo 1 > devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs # echo 0000:01:10.0 > drivers_probe # echo 0 > devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs # dmesg | grep 01:10 pci 0000:01:10.0: [8086:10ca] type 00 class 0x020000 kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79ce0a8): kobject_add_internal: parent: '0000:00:01.0', set: 'devices' kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79ce0a8): kobject_uevent_env kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79ce0a8): fill_kobj_path: path = '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:10.0' kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79ce0a8): kobject_uevent_env kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79ce0a8): fill_kobj_path: path = '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:10.0' kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79ce0a8): kobject_uevent_env kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79ce0a8): fill_kobj_path: path = '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:10.0' [no free] Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver-core: Fix use-after-free triggered by bus_unregister()

2014-01-08T23:36:18+00:00

Avoid that bus_unregister() triggers a use-after-free with CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y. This patch avoids that the following sequence triggers a kernel crash with memory poisoning enabled: * bus_register() * driver_register() * driver_unregister() * bus_unregister() The above sequence causes the bus private data to be freed from inside the bus_unregister() call although it is not guaranteed in that function that the reference count on the bus private data has dropped to zero. As an example, with CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y the ${bus}/drivers kobject is still holding a reference on bus->p->subsys.kobj via its parent pointer at the time the bus private data is freed. Fix this by deferring freeing the bus private data until the last kobject_put() call on bus->p->subsys.kobj. The kernel oops triggered by the above sequence and with memory poisoning enabled and that is fixed by this patch is as follows: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP CPU: 3 PID: 2711 Comm: kworker/3:32 Tainted: G W O 3.13.0-rc4-debug+ #1 Hardware name: Bochs Bochs, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 Workqueue: events kobject_delayed_cleanup task: ffff880037f866d0 ti: ffff88003b638000 task.ti: ffff88003b638000 Call Trace: [] ? kobject_get_path+0x25/0x100 [] kobject_uevent_env+0x134/0x600 [] kobject_uevent+0xb/0x10 [] kobject_delayed_cleanup+0xc2/0x1b0 [] process_one_work+0x217/0x700 [] ? process_one_work+0x1ab/0x700 [] worker_thread+0x11b/0x3a0 [] ? process_one_work+0x700/0x700 [] kthread+0xf0/0x110 [] ? insert_kthread_work+0x80/0x80 [] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 [] ? insert_kthread_work+0x80/0x80 Code: 89 f8 48 89 e5 f6 82 c0 27 63 81 20 74 15 0f 1f 44 00 00 48 83 c0 01 0f b6 10 f6 82 c0 27 63 81 20 75 f0 5d c3 66 0f 1f 44 00 00 <80> 3f 00 55 48 89 e5 74 15 48 89 f8 0f 1f 40 00 48 83 c0 01 80 RIP [] strlen+0x0/0x30 RSP ---[ end trace 210f883ef80376aa ]--- Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche Acked-by: Ming Lei Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
