nfc: nci: Fix race between rfkill and nci_unregister_device().

2026-02-06T15:40:11+00:00

[ Upstream commit d2492688bb9fed6ab6e313682c387ae71a66ebae ] syzbot reported the splat below [0] without a repro. It indicates that struct nci_dev.cmd_wq had been destroyed before nci_close_device() was called via rfkill. nci_dev.cmd_wq is only destroyed in nci_unregister_device(), which (I think) was called from virtual_ncidev_close() when syzbot close()d an fd of virtual_ncidev. The problem is that nci_unregister_device() destroys nci_dev.cmd_wq first and then calls nfc_unregister_device(), which removes the device from rfkill by rfkill_unregister(). So, the device is still visible via rfkill even after nci_dev.cmd_wq is destroyed. Let's unregister the device from rfkill first in nci_unregister_device(). Note that we cannot call nfc_unregister_device() before nci_close_device() because 1) nfc_unregister_device() calls device_del() which frees all memory allocated by devm_kzalloc() and linked to ndev->conn_info_list 2) nci_rx_work() could try to queue nci_conn_info to ndev->conn_info_list which could be leaked Thus, nfc_unregister_device() is split into two functions so we can remove rfkill interfaces only before nci_close_device().

net: nfc: fix deadlock between nfc_unregister_device and rfkill_fop_write

2026-01-19T12:11:59+00:00

commit 1ab526d97a57e44d26fadcc0e9adeb9c0c0182f5 upstream. A deadlock can occur between nfc_unregister_device() and rfkill_fop_write() due to lock ordering inversion between device_lock and rfkill_global_mutex. The problematic lock order is: Thread A (rfkill_fop_write): rfkill_fop_write() mutex_lock(&rfkill_global_mutex) rfkill_set_block() nfc_rfkill_set_block() nfc_dev_down() device_lock(&dev->dev) <- waits for device_lock Thread B (nfc_unregister_device): nfc_unregister_device() device_lock(&dev->dev) rfkill_unregister() mutex_lock(&rfkill_global_mutex) <- waits for rfkill_global_mutex This creates a classic ABBA deadlock scenario. Fix this by moving rfkill_unregister() and rfkill_destroy() outside the device_lock critical section. Store the rfkill pointer in a local variable before releasing the lock, then call rfkill_unregister() after releasing device_lock. This change is safe because rfkill_fop_write() holds rfkill_global_mutex while calling the rfkill callbacks, and rfkill_unregister() also acquires rfkill_global_mutex before cleanup. Therefore, rfkill_unregister() will wait for any ongoing callback to complete before proceeding, and device_del() is only called after rfkill_unregister() returns, preventing any use-after-free. The similar lock ordering in nfc_register_device() (device_lock -> rfkill_global_mutex via rfkill_register) is safe because during registration the device is not yet in rfkill_list, so no concurrent rfkill operations can occur on this device.

NFC: NULL out the dev->rfkill to prevent UAF

2022-06-09T08:21:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1b0e81416a24d6e9b8c2341e22e8bf48f8b8bfc9 ] Commit 3e3b5dfcd16a ("NFC: reorder the logic in nfc_{un,}register_device") assumes the device_is_registered() in function nfc_dev_up() will help to check when the rfkill is unregistered. However, this check only take effect when device_del(&dev->dev) is done in nfc_unregister_device(). Hence, the rfkill object is still possible be dereferenced.

nfc: replace improper check device_is_registered() in netlink related functions

2022-05-12T10:25:36+00:00

commit da5c0f119203ad9728920456a0f52a6d850c01cd upstream. The device_is_registered() in nfc core is used to check whether nfc device is registered in netlink related functions such as nfc_fw_download(), nfc_dev_up() and so on. Although device_is_registered() is protected by device_lock, there is still a race condition between device_del() and device_is_registered(). The root cause is that kobject_del() in device_del() is not protected by device_lock. (cleanup task) | (netlink task) | nfc_unregister_device | nfc_fw_download device_del | device_lock ... | if (!device_is_registered)//(1) kobject_del//(2) | ... ... | device_unlock The device_is_registered() returns the value of state_in_sysfs and the state_in_sysfs is set to zero in kobject_del(). If we pass check in position (1), then set zero in position (2). As a result, the check in position (1) is useless. This patch uses bool variable instead of device_is_registered() to judge whether the nfc device is registered, which is well synchronized.

NFC: reorder the logic in nfc_{un,}register_device

2021-11-26T09:39:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3e3b5dfcd16a3e254aab61bd1e8c417dd4503102 ] There is a potential UAF between the unregistration routine and the NFC netlink operations. The race that cause that UAF can be shown as below: (FREE) | (USE) nfcmrvl_nci_unregister_dev | nfc_genl_dev_up nci_close_device | nci_unregister_device | nfc_get_device nfc_unregister_device | nfc_dev_up rfkill_destory | device_del | rfkill_blocked ... | ... The root cause for this race is concluded below: 1. The rfkill_blocked (USE) in nfc_dev_up is supposed to be placed after the device_is_registered check. 2. Since the netlink operations are possible just after the device_add in nfc_register_device, the nfc_dev_up() can happen anywhere during the rfkill creation process, which leads to data race. This patch reorder these actions to permit 1. Once device_del is finished, the nfc_dev_up cannot dereference the rfkill object. 2. The rfkill_register need to be placed after the device_add of nfc_dev because the parent device need to be created first. So this patch keeps the order but inject device_lock to prevent the data race.

NFC: fix device-allocation error return

2017-11-05T23:53:39+00:00

A recent change fixing NFC device allocation itself introduced an error-handling bug by returning an error pointer in case device-id allocation failed. This is clearly broken as the callers still expected NULL to be returned on errors as detected by Dan's static checker. Fix this up by returning NULL in the event that we've run out of memory when allocating a new device id. Note that the offending commit is marked for stable (3.8) so this fix needs to be backported along with it.
