[PATCH V2 1/2] rpmsg: glink: Add lock to avoid race when rpmsg device is released

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When remote host goes down glink char device channel is freed,
At the same time user space apps can still try to open/poll rpmsg
char device which will result in calling rpmsg_create_ept. This may
cause reference to already freed context of glink chardev channel and
result in below crash signatures -

1)
rpmsg_create_ept+0x40/0xa0
rpmsg_eptdev_open+0x88/0x138
chrdev_open+0xc4/0x1c8
do_dentry_open+0x230/0x378

2)
rpmsg_poll+0x5c/0x80
rpmsg_eptdev_poll+0x84/0xa4
do_sys_poll+0x22c/0x5c8

This patch adds proper lock and check condition to avoid such crash.
