[PATCH] drm/amdkfd: Fix a wild pointer dereference in svm_range_add()

[PATCH] drm/amdkfd: Fix a wild pointer dereference in svm_range_add()

[Zhou Qingyang]

In svm_range_add(), the return value of svm_range_new() is assigned
to prange and &prange->insert_list is used in list_add(). There is a
a dereference of &prange->insert_list in list_add(), which could lead
to a wild pointer dereference on failure of vm_range_new() if
CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST is unset in .config file.

Fix this bug by adding a check of prange.

This bug was found by a static analyzer. The analysis employs
differential checking to identify inconsistent security operations
(e.g., checks or kfrees) between two code paths and confirms that the
inconsistent operations are not recovered in the current function or
the callers, so they constitute bugs.

Note that, as a bug found by static analysis, it can be a false
positive or hard to trigger. Multiple researchers have cross-reviewed
the bug.

Builds with CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU=m, CONFIG_HSA_AMD=y, and
CONFIG_HSA_AMD_SVM=y show no new warnings, and our static analyzer no
longer warns about this code.

The patch looks good to me. It's an obvious bug and definitely not a
false positive. The patch description is a bit verbose. Is this
auto-generated output from the static checker? It could be replaced with
something more concise. Especially the comment about this possibly being
a false positive should not be in the final submission.

Dear Felix:

This patch is not auto-generated, and as a matter of fact, it is requested
by the Linux Community.

As you can see from my email address, I am a researcher from the University
of Minnesota, and because of the unpleasant event that happened in April,
all the patches from our university must contain enough information for the
Linux Community to verify. Still I feel so sorry to take up your time.

yours sincerely,
zhou qingyang.

Hi Qingyang,

Sorry for the late response. I was about to apply your patch when I 
realized that it's not unwinding things correctly in the new failure 
case. I think I'll refactor svm_range_add and svm_range_handle_overlap a 
bit to make sure the unwinding is handled correctly and only needs to be 
done in one place instead of two.

I'll copy you on the final patch.

Regards,
   Felix

Hi Qingyang,

Sorry for the late response. I was about to apply your patch when I 
realized that it's not unwinding things correctly in the new failure 
case. I think I'll refactor svm_range_add and svm_range_handle_overlap a 
bit to make sure the unwinding is handled correctly and only needs to be 
done in one place instead of two.

I'll copy you on the final patch.

   Felix
