Syzbot triggered a use after free in v5.5-rc6:

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in v4l2_release+0x2f1/0x390 drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-dev.c:459

Allocated by task 94:
 usbvision_alloc drivers/media/usb/usbvision/usbvision-video.c:1315 [inline]
 usbvision_probe.cold+0x5c5/0x1f21 drivers/media/usb/usbvision/usbvision-video.c:1469

Freed by task 1913:
 kfree+0xd5/0x300 mm/slub.c:3957
 usbvision_release+0x181/0x1c0 drivers/media/usb/usbvision/usbvision-video.c:1364
 usbvision_radio_close.cold+0x2b/0x74 drivers/media/usb/usbvision/usbvision-video.c:1130
 v4l2_release+0x2e7/0x390 drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-dev.c:455

The problem is that the v4l2_release() calls usbvision_release() which
frees "usbvision" but v4l2_release() still wants to use
"usbvision->vdev".  One solution is to make this devm_ allocated memory
so the memory isn't freed until later.

I copied this idea from a different driver, but I haven't tested it.
I wanted to try the #syz fix command to see if it works.

devm_ allocated memory is freed after disconnect, so I doubt this will help, or at
best it will just move the problem elsewhere.

The right approach would be to use the release() callback from struct v4l2_device:
that's called when the very last open filehandle is closed.

But I'm not sure if it is worth the effort. The usbvision driver is a mess and
personally I think it should be deprecated.

Yes, devm_*alloc is evil :-( It has spread to many drivers and is used
incorrectly in most cases.

Hillf Danton has sent a patch to do so in the "Re: KASAN: use-after-free
Read in v4l2_release (3)" thread. Have you seen it ?

I agree.

Ah, that was never mailed to linux-media, so never ended up in patchwork. And
if it ain't in patchwork, then I don't know about it :-)

Hillf, if you want your patch to be merged, then make sure it is CC-ed to
linux-media as well.

I don't I ever received the full patch, only replies to your patch.

Please mail your patch directly to me so I have a clean version.

Ah, my work email. And I always delete posts mailed to that if it is also CC-ed
to linux-media. Which didn't actually arrive there in your case. And it's no longer
in my trash folder either.

So please mail me a properly formatted patch so I can forward it to linux-media
for you.
