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

Commit Message

Javier Martinez Canillas May 5, 2022, 10:05 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.

To prevent this, move the framebuffer_release() call to fb_ops.fb_destroy
instead of doing it in the driver's .remove callback.

Strictly speaking, the code flow in the driver is still wrong because all
the hardware cleanupd (i.e: iounmap) should be done in .remove while the
software cleanup (i.e: releasing the framebuffer) should be done in the
.fb_destroy handler. But this at least makes to match the behavior before
commit 27599aacbaef ("fbdev: Hot-unplug firmware fb devices on forced removal").

You are releasing info, then you are using it.

I suspect it is responsible for multiple failures of Intel CI [1].

Yes, it is :( sorry about the mess. Ville already reported this to me.
I'll post a patch in a minute.
 
I wonder how this didn't happen before since .remove() happens before
.fb_destroy() AFAIU...
