When DECLARE_COMPLETION_ONSTACK was used, the user must to ensure the other
process won't reference the completion variable on stack. For a
killable/interruptiable version, we need extra code(add locks/use xchg) to
ensure this.

This patch provide a SmPL script to detect bad
DECLARE_COMPLETION_ONSTACK(_MAP) API usage, but far from perfect.

This is a common problem, and a lot of drivers have simpler problem. The
fellowing is a list of problems find by this SmPL patch, due to the complex
use of wait_for_complete* API, there will still be some false negatives and
false positives. This RFC patch is mainly used to discuss improvement
methods. If we introduce the wait_for_complete*_onstack API, it will be
easier to modify these problems, and the patch rules of SmPL will be very
easy. In the process of trying to write SmPL scripts, I strongly recommend
introducing two onstack APIs to complete this operation.

To fix this, we can add introducing two new API for this.

Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:instead of "[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz" or "[I] changed xyzzy

But also, wth is SmPL, the actual thing included is a coccinelle script.

What's with this retarded file path? Are you running on Windows or
something daft like that?

Please, make them relative to srctree.

These don't seem buggy, they take the whole DSI out -- which lives on
stack too.

Heh, they seem to have the right idea but a buggy implementation.

These do usb_kill_urb() in the fail case. IIUC this avoids the UaF

So going by the 3 random samples above, only 1 would use this pattern.

Does that mean you 'forgot' to audit all these results before proposing
a fix?

What does that mean for this script?

I'm thinking that 'high' is somewhat premature, 2 out of 3 false
positive rate does not inspire confidence.

Also, you want to state what sha1 or tag you ran this on. The one file I
looked at didn't match line numbers.

I looked at:

drivers/ufs/core/ufshcd.c

Which has (what I'm assuming is the issue that was detected?)

        /* wait until the task management command is completed */
        err = wait_for_completion_io_timeout(&wait,
                        msecs_to_jiffies(TM_CMD_TIMEOUT));
        if (!err) { 
                ufshcd_add_tm_upiu_trace(hba, task_tag, UFS_TM_ERR);
                dev_err(hba->dev, "%s: task management cmd 0x%.2x timed-out\n",
                                __func__, tm_function);
                if (ufshcd_clear_tm_cmd(hba, task_tag))
                        dev_WARN(hba->dev, "%s: unable to clear tm cmd (slot %d) after timeout\n",
                                        __func__, task_tag);
                err = -ETIMEDOUT;
        } else {        
                err = 0;        
                memcpy(treq, hba->utmrdl_base_addr + task_tag, sizeof(*treq));
                
                ufshcd_add_tm_upiu_trace(hba, task_tag, UFS_TM_COMP);
        }       
   
        spin_lock_irqsave(hba->host->host_lock, flags);
        hba->tmf_rqs[req->tag] = NULL;
        __clear_bit(task_tag, &hba->outstanding_tasks);
        spin_unlock_irqrestore(hba->host->host_lock, flags);

IIUC, the above spin lock protection will prevent the use after free of the
completion. As the completion still exists between the timedout wait, and
the start of the spinlock. And the spinlock will keep the complete from
being visible if that were to run after the spinlock.

So what exact race are you trying to catch here?

on-stack copmletion with a wait_for_completion that can return early
(eg. killable, interruptible, or timeout) can go out of scope (eg, free
the completion) with the other side calling complete() on some possibly
re-used piece of stack.

IOW, Use-after-Free.

Care must be taken to ensure the other side (whatever does complete())
is either terminated or otherwise stopped from calling complete() on an
out-of-scope variable.

I got that. But as you were stating as well, when care is taken, the script
appears to still report it. The example I gave has:

        req = blk_mq_alloc_request(q, REQ_OP_DRV_OUT, 0);
[..]
        req->end_io_data = &wait;
[..]
        hba->tmf_rqs[req->tag] = req;
[..]
        err = wait_for_completion_io_timeout(&wait,
[..]
        spin_lock_irqsave(hba->host->host_lock, flags);
        hba->tmf_rqs[req->tag] = NULL;
        __clear_bit(task_tag, &hba->outstanding_tasks);
        spin_unlock_irqrestore(hba->host->host_lock, flags);


And where the complete is:

        spin_lock_irqsave(hba->host->host_lock, flags);
        pending = ufshcd_readl(hba, REG_UTP_TASK_REQ_DOOR_BELL);
        issued = hba->outstanding_tasks & ~pending;
        for_each_set_bit(tag, &issued, hba->nutmrs) {
                struct request *req = hba->tmf_rqs[tag];
                struct completion *c = req->end_io_data;
 
                complete(c);
                ret = IRQ_HANDLED;
        }
        spin_unlock_irqrestore(hba->host->host_lock, flags);

So the spinlock is making sure that the complete() only works on a
completion if it is still there.

I guess I should have asked, how is this script differentiating between
where there's a problem and where there isn't.

If you remove the spinlocks, then there would most definitely be a race,
and I'm not even sure if the supplied patch would improve this much.

I would prefer the following SmPL code variant.

* The metavariables can be grouped once more.

* I suggest to restrict the regular expression a bit more by using an anchor.
 
identifier done, ret, r1.func, fb =~ "^wait_for_completion.*";

Would the dependency specification “!(has_wait_for_completion || has_while_wait || has_while_wait2)”
be nicer?

Were the function names (in this SmPL disjunction) ordered according to their

Would the following statement variant be more appropriate?

coccilib.report.print_report(fp[0],
                             "WARNING: It seems that a reference was returned to a variable which was stored on a stack.")

There are still many defects in this script that are commented here.

It's the raw output from this coccinelle script running from macOS. So,
I did not remove the prefix from the file path.

This RFC patch is only used to illustrate the complexity of this
detection. As rewritten in the comments, this coccinelle script is
already somewhat complicated, but it still cannot avoid false positives
and false negatives. For code writing like dsi, I think it is difficult
to cover it with coccinelle script. So I want to introduce the onstack
version of the API, so that the checking work will be much easier. It is
also much easier to read the source code. When you see such APIs when
reviewing the code, you can easily know that there are detailed
exception mirroring considerations here, instead of carefully reviewing
whether there are some implicit conditions to ensure that there are no
problems.

This RFC PATCH is intended to be used to discuss whether to add a new

There is nothing wrong with your code.

This script will not check the hba->host->host_lock lock, and there is
another hba->outstanding_tasks bit mask to ensure that there is no UAF
here. But this script doesn't have a way to get these implicit
conditions.
