From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@xxxxxxxx> Non-overlay dynamic devicetree node removal may leave the node in the phandle cache. Subsequent calls to of_find_node_by_phandle() will incorrectly find the stale entry. This bug exposed the foloowing phandle cache refcount bug. The refcount of phandle_cache entries is not incremented while in the cache, allowing use after free error after kfree() of the cached entry. Changes since v1: - make __of_free_phandle_cache() static - add WARN_ON(1) for unexpected condition in of_find_node_by_phandle() Frank Rowand (2): of: of_node_get()/of_node_put() nodes held in phandle cache of: __of_detach_node() - remove node from phandle cache drivers/of/base.c | 100 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ drivers/of/dynamic.c | 3 ++ drivers/of/of_private.h | 4 ++ 3 files changed, 82 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) -- Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@xxxxxxxx>
