[RESEND PATCH v3] staging/android/ion : fix a race condition in the ion driver

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

 



There is a use-after-free problem in the ion driver.
This is caused by a race condition in the ion_ioctl() function.

A handle has ref count of 1 and two tasks on different cpus calls ION_IOC_FREE simultaneously.

cpu 0                                   cpu 1
-------------------------------------------------------
ion_handle_get_by_id()
(ref == 2)
                            ion_handle_get_by_id()
                            (ref == 3)

ion_free()
(ref == 2)

ion_handle_put()
(ref == 1)

                            ion_free()
                            (ref == 0 so ion_handle_destroy() is
                            called
                            and the handle is freed.)

                            ion_handle_put() is called and it
                            decreases the slub's next free pointer

The problem is detected as an unaligned access in the spin lock functions since it uses load exclusive  instruction. 
In some cases it corrupts the slub's free pointer which causes a mis-aligned access to the next free pointer.(kmalloc returns a pointer like ffffc0745b4580aa). 
And it causes lots of other hard-to-debug problems.

This symptom is caused since the first member in the ion_handle structure is the reference count and the ion driver decrements the reference after it has been freed.

To fix this problem client->lock mutex is extended to protect all the codes that uses the handle.
