From af5818c35173e096085c6ae2e3aac605d3d15e41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wolfram Sang Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2023 14:05:26 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] virtio-mmio: don't break lifecycle of vm_dev [ Upstream commit 55c91fedd03d7b9cf0c5199b2eb12b9b8e95281a ] vm_dev has a separate lifecycle because it has a 'struct device' embedded. Thus, having a release callback for it is correct. Allocating the vm_dev struct with devres totally breaks this protection, though. Instead of waiting for the vm_dev release callback, the memory is freed when the platform_device is removed. Resulting in a use-after-free when finally the callback is to be called. To easily see the problem, compile the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE and unbind with sysfs. The fix is easy, don't use devres in this case. Found during my research about object lifetime problems.
