Series fbdev: Fix use-after-free caused by wrong fb_info cleanup in drivers | expand

Commit Message

Javier Martinez Canillas May 4, 2022, 9:58 p.m. UTC
The driver is calling framebuffer_release() in its .remove callback, but
this will cause the struct fb_info to be freed too early. Since it could
be that a reference is still hold to it if user-space opened the fbdev.

This would lead to a use-after-free error if the framebuffer device was
unregistered but later a user-space process tries to close the fbdev fd.

The correct thing to do is to only unregister the framebuffer in the
driver's .remove callback, but do any cleanup in the fb_ops.fb_destroy.
