[PATCH v8 0/1] tpm: fix reference counting for struct tpm_chip

[PATCH v8 0/1] tpm: fix reference counting for struct tpm_chip

[Lino Sanfilippo]

This patch fixes a reference count issue in the TPM core code.

Changes in v8:
- adjust names of jump labels for error cases

Changes in v7:
- adjust naming of jump labels to fit better the used label naming scheme

Changes in v6:
- rename function tpm2_add_device() to tpm_devs_add() as requested by Jarko
- add function descriptions
- fix source code formatting

Changes in v5:
- move function tpm_add_tpm2_char_device() to tpm2-space.c and rename
it to tpm2_add_device() as requested by Jarko
- put "cc" tag before all other tags 
- ensure that the error path in tpm2_add_device() always calls 
the release() function of chip->devs as requested by Jason
- reformat a code line as suggested by David Laight

Changes in v4:
- drop patch 2 (tpm: in tpm2_del_space check if ops pointer is still
valid) since James Bottomley offered a cleaner solution for this
- reimplement patch 1 to setup the /dev/tpmrm device only in case of TPM2
and avoid the installation of another action handler. This is based on a
suggestion and basic implementation done by Jason Gunthorpe.
- added tag to CC stable

Changes in v3:
- drop the patch that introduces the new function tpm_chip_free()
- rework the commit messages for the patches (style, typos, etc.)
- add fixes tag to patch 2
- add James Bottomley to cc list
- add stable mailing list to cc list

Changes in v2:
- drop the patch that erroneously cleaned up after failed installation of
  an action handler in tpmm_chip_alloc() (pointed out by Jarkko Sakkinen)
- make the commit message for patch 1 more detailed
- add fixes tags and kernel logs

[PATCH v8 1/1] tpm: fix reference counting for struct tpm_chip

[Lino Sanfilippo]

From: Lino Sanfilippo <l.sanfilippo@kunbus.com>

The following sequence of operations results in a refcount warning:

1. Open device /dev/tpmrm.
2. Remove module tpm_tis_spi.
3. Write a TPM command to the file descriptor opened at step 1.

---[ end trace d4b8409def9b8b1f ]---

The reason for this warning is the attempt to get the chip->dev reference
in tpm_common_write() although the reference counter is already zero.

Since commit 8979b02aaf1d ("tpm: Fix reference count to main device") the
extra reference used to prevent a premature zero counter is never taken,
because the required TPM_CHIP_FLAG_TPM2 flag is never set.

Fix this by moving the TPM 2 character device handling from
tpm_chip_alloc() to tpm_add_char_device() which is called at a later point
in time when the flag has been set in case of TPM2.

Commit fdc915f7f719 ("tpm: expose spaces via a device link /dev/tpmrm<n>")
already introduced function tpm_devs_release() to release the extra
reference but did not implement the required put on chip->devs that results
in the call of this function.

Fix this by putting chip->devs in tpm_chip_unregister().

Finally move the new implementation for the TPM 2 handling into a new
function to avoid multiple checks for the TPM_CHIP_FLAG_TPM2 flag in the
good case and error cases.

I would put those two lines in a function bside tpm_devs_add() as
well, more modular.

It looks like a good idea to me

Agreed, I will put this in a tpm_devs_remove() function as counterpart to tpm_devs_add().

We also need to apply this patch here to fix another crash:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210615091410.17007-2-vincent.whitchurch@axis.com/

A reproducer for the crash below is here:

t1:
# cd /tmp
# modprobe tpm_vtpm_proxy
# swtpm chardev --vtpm-proxy --tpmstate dir=.   --tpm2

t2:

# terminate swtpm with ctrl-c
# rmmod tpm_vtpm_proxy

t2:
# echo -en '\x80\x01\x00\x00\x00\x0c\x00\x00\x01\x44\x00\x00' >&100
