commit 4ae2182b upstream. A Root Port's AER structure (rpc) contains a queue of events. aer_irq() enqueues AER status information and schedules aer_isr() to dequeue and process it. When we remove a device, aer_remove() waits for the queue to be empty, then frees the rpc struct. But aer_isr() references the rpc struct after dequeueing and possibly emptying the queue, which can cause a use-after-free error as in the following scenario with two threads, aer_isr() on the left and a concurrent aer_remove() on the right: Thread A Thread B -------- -------- aer_irq(): rpc->prod_idx++ aer_remove(): wait_event(rpc->prod_idx == rpc->cons_idx) # now blocked until queue becomes empty aer_isr(): # ... rpc->cons_idx++ # unblocked because queue is now empty ... kfree(rpc) mutex_unlock(&rpc->rpc_mutex) To prevent this problem, use flush_work() to wait until the last scheduled instance of aer_isr() has completed before freeing the rpc struct in aer_remove(). I reproduced this use-after-free by flashing a device FPGA and re-enumerating the bus to find the new device. With SLUB debug, this crashes with 0x6b bytes (POISON_FREE, the use-after-free magic number) in GPR25: pcieport 0000:00:00.0: AER: Multiple Corrected error received: id=0000 Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x27ef9e3e Workqueue: events aer_isr GPR24: dd6aa000 6b6b6b6b 605f8378 605f8360 d99b12c0 604fc674 606b1704 d99b12c0 NIP [602f5328] pci_walk_bus+0xd4/0x104 [bhelgaas: changelog, stable tag] Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
