[PATCH 4.4 21/56] driver core: Fix use-after-free and double free on glue directory

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Muchun Song <smuchun@gmail.com>

commit ac43432cb1f5c2950408534987e57c2071e24d8f upstream.

There is a race condition between removing glue directory and adding a new
device under the glue dir. It can be reproduced in following test:

CPU1:                                         CPU2:

device_add()
  get_device_parent()
    class_dir_create_and_add()
      kobject_add_internal()
        create_dir()    // create glue_dir

                                              device_add()
                                                get_device_parent()
                                                  kobject_get() // get glue_dir

device_del()
  cleanup_glue_dir()
    kobject_del(glue_dir)

                                                kobject_add()
                                                  kobject_add_internal()
                                                    create_dir() // in glue_dir
                                                      sysfs_create_dir_ns()
                                                        kernfs_create_dir_ns(sd)

      sysfs_remove_dir() // glue_dir->sd=NULL
      sysfs_put()        // free glue_dir->sd

                                                          // sd is freed
                                                          kernfs_new_node(sd)
                                                            kernfs_get(glue_dir)
                                                            kernfs_add_one()
                                                            kernfs_put()

Before CPU1 remove last child device under glue dir, if CPU2 add a new
device under glue dir, the glue_dir kobject reference count will be
increase to 2 via kobject_get() in get_device_parent(). And CPU2 has
been called kernfs_create_dir_ns(), but not call kernfs_new_node().
Meanwhile, CPU1 call sysfs_remove_dir() and sysfs_put(). This result in
glue_dir->sd is freed and it's reference count will be 0. Then CPU2 call
kernfs_get(glue_dir) will trigger a warning in kernfs_get() and increase
it's reference count to 1. Because glue_dir->sd is freed by CPU1, the next
call kernfs_add_one() by CPU2 will fail(This is also use-after-free)
and call kernfs_put() to decrease reference count. Because the reference
count is decremented to 0, it will also call kmem_cache_free() to free
the 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 CPU1 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:
