This patch series addresses potential use-after-free errors when dereferencing pointers to struct drm_master. These were identified after one such bug was caught by Syzbot in drm_getunique(): https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=148d2f1dfac64af52ffd27b661981a540724f803 The series is broken up into three patches: 1. Move a call to drm_is_current_master() out from a section locked by &dev->mode_config.mutex in drm_mode_getconnector(). This patch does not apply to stable. 2. Implement a locked version of drm_is_current_master() function that's used within drm_auth.c. 3. Identify areas in drm_lease.c where pointers to struct drm_master are dereferenced, and ensure that the master pointers are not freed during use. Changes in v4 -> v5: - Patch 1: Add patch 1 to the series. The changes in patch 1 do not apply to stable because they apply to new changes in the drm-misc-next branch. This patch moves the call to drm_is_current_master in drm_mode_getconnector out from the section locked by &dev->mode_config.mutex. Additionally, added a missing semicolon to the patch, caught by the intel-gfx CI. - Patch 2: Move changes to drm_connector.c into patch 1. Changes in v3 -> v4: - Patch 2: Move the call to drm_is_current_master in drm_mode_getconnector out from the section locked by &dev->mode_config.mutex. As suggested by Daniel Vetter. This avoids a circular lock lock dependency as reported here https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/440406/ Additionally, inside drm_is_current_master, instead of grabbing &fpriv->master->dev->master_mutex, we grab &fpriv->minor->dev->master_mutex to avoid dereferencing a null ptr if fpriv->master is not set. - Patch 3: Modify kerneldoc formatting. Additionally, add a file_priv->master NULL check inside drm_file_get_master, and handle the NULL result accordingly in drm_lease.c. As suggested by Daniel Vetter. Changes in v2 -> v3: - Patch 2: Move the definition of drm_is_current_master and the _locked version higher up in drm_auth.c to avoid needing a forward declaration of drm_is_current_master_locked. As suggested by Daniel Vetter. - Patch 3: Instead of leaking drm_device.master_mutex into drm_lease.c to protect drm_master pointers, add a new drm_file_get_master() function that returns drm_file->master while increasing its reference count, to prevent drm_file->master from being freed. As suggested by Daniel Vetter. Changes in v1 -> v2: - Patch 3: Move the lock and assignment before the DRM_DEBUG_LEASE in drm_mode_get_lease_ioctl, as suggested by Emil Velikov.
