Subject: [PATCH v2 1/7] platform/x86: dell-wmi-sysman: Fix crash caused by calling kset_unregister twice
Date: Sun, 21 Mar 2021 12:58:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210321115901.35072-2-hdegoede@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210321115901.35072-1-hdegoede@redhat.com>

On some system the WMI GUIDs used by dell-wmi-sysman are present but there
are no enum type attributes, this causes init_bios_attributes() to return
-ENODEV, after which sysman_init() does a "goto fail_create_group" and then
calls release_attributes_data().

release_attributes_data() calls kset_unregister(wmi_priv.main_dir_kset);
but before this commit it was missing a "wmi_priv.main_dir_kset = NULL;"
statement; and after calling release_attributes_data() the sysman_init()
error handling does this:

        if (wmi_priv.main_dir_kset) {
                kset_unregister(wmi_priv.main_dir_kset);
                wmi_priv.main_dir_kset = NULL;
        }

Which causes a second kset_unregister(wmi_priv.main_dir_kset), leading to
a double-free, which causes a crash.

Add the missing "wmi_priv.main_dir_kset = NULL;" statement to
release_attributes_data() to fix this double-free crash.

Fixes: e8a60aa7404b ("platform/x86: Introduce support for Systems Management Driver over WMI for Dell Systems")
