commit 2da78092dda "block: Fix dev_t minor allocation lifetime" specifically moved blk_free_devt(dev->devt) call to part_release() to avoid reallocating device number before the device is fully shutdown. However, it can cause use-after-free on gendisk in get_gendisk(). We use md device as example to show the race scenes: Process1 Worker Process2 md_free blkdev_open del_gendisk add delete_partition_work_fn() to wq __blkdev_get get_gendisk put_disk disk_release kfree(disk) find part from ext_devt_idr get_disk_and_module(disk) cause use after free delete_partition_work_fn put_device(part) part_release remove part from ext_devt_idr Before <devt, hd_struct pointer> is removed from ext_devt_idr by delete_partition_work_fn(), we can find the devt and then access gendisk by hd_struct pointer. But, if we access the gendisk after it have been freed, it can cause in use-after-freeon gendisk in get_gendisk(). We fix this by adding a new helper blk_invalidate_devt() in delete_partition() and del_gendisk(). It replaces hd_struct pointer in idr with value 'NULL', and deletes the entry from idr in part_release() as we do now. Thanks to Jan Kara for providing the solution and more clear comments for the code.
