Subject: [PATCH v6] driver core: Fix use-after-free and double free on glue directory
There is a race condition between removing glue directory and adding a new
device under the glue directory. It can be reproduced in following test:
path 1: Add the child device under glue dir
device_add()
get_device_parent()
mutex_lock(&gdp_mutex);
....
/*find parent from glue_dirs.list*/
list_for_each_entry(k, &dev->class->p->glue_dirs.list, entry)
if (k->parent == parent_kobj) {
kobj = kobject_get(k);
break;
}
....
mutex_unlock(&gdp_mutex);
....
....
kobject_add()
kobject_add_internal()
create_dir()
sysfs_create_dir_ns()
if (kobj->parent)
parent = kobj->parent->sd;
....
kernfs_create_dir_ns(parent)
kernfs_new_node()
kernfs_get(parent)
....
/* link in */
rc = kernfs_add_one(kn);
if (!rc)
return kn;
kernfs_put(kn)
....
repeat:
kmem_cache_free(kn)
kn = parent;
if (kn) {
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&kn->count))
goto repeat;
}
....
path2: Remove last child device under glue dir
device_del()
cleanup_glue_dir()
mutex_lock(&gdp_mutex);
if (!kobject_has_children(glue_dir))
kobject_del(glue_dir);
kobject_put(glue_dir);
mutex_unlock(&gdp_mutex);
Before path2 remove last child device under glue dir, If path1 add a new
device under glue dir, the glue_dir kobject reference count will be
increase to 2 via kobject_get(k) in get_device_parent(). And path1 has
been called kernfs_new_node(), but not call kernfs_get(parent).
Meanwhile, path2 call kobject_del(glue_dir) beacause 0 is returned by
kobject_has_children(). This result in glue_dir->sd is freed and it's
reference count will be 0. Then path1 call kernfs_get(parent) will trigger
a warning in kernfs_get()(WARN_ON(!atomic_read(&kn->count))) and increase
it's reference count to 1. Because glue_dir->sd is freed by path2, the next
call kernfs_add_one() by path1 will fail(This is also use-after-free)
and call atomic_dec_and_test() to decrease reference count. Because the
reference count is decremented to 0, it will also call kmem_cache_free()
to free glue_dir->sd again. This will result in double free.
In order to avoid this happening, we also should make sure that kernfs_node
for glue_dir is released in path2 only when refcount for glue_dir kobj is
1 to fix this race.
The following calltrace is captured in kernel 4.14 with the following patch
applied:
