The HID report buffers that are initially allocated on i2c_hid_probe() might not be big enough to hold the HID reports from a specific device, in which case they will be freed and new ones will be allocated in i2c_hid_start(), at point which the device's report size is known. But at this point ihid->irq is already running, and may call i2c_hid_get_input() which passes ihid->inbuf to i2c_master_recv(). Since this handler runs in a separate thread, ihid->inbuf may be freed at this very moment, and i2c_master_recv() will write on memory which may be already owned by a different part of the kernel, corrupting its data. This problem has been observed on an Asus UX360UA laptop which has an I2C touchpad, and results in a complete system freeze or an unusable slowness with a lof of "BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at <address>" warnings. Enabling SLUB debugging shows a use-after-free warning on memory allocated in i2c_hid_alloc_buffers() and freed in i2c_hid_free_buffers(): ============================================================================= BUG kmalloc-64 (Not tainted): Poison overwritten ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint INFO: 0xffff880264083273-0xffff88026408329e. first byte 0x0 instead of 0x6b INFO: Allocated in i2c_hid_alloc_buffers+0x25/0xa0 [i2c_hid] age=35793 cpu=2 pid=430 ___slab_alloc+0x41e/0x460 __slab_alloc+0x20/0x40 __kmalloc+0x210/0x280 i2c_hid_alloc_buffers+0x25/0xa0 [i2c_hid] i2c_hid_probe+0x12f/0x5e0 [i2c_hid] i2c_device_probe+0x10a/0x1b0 driver_probe_device+0x220/0x4a0 __device_attach_driver+0x71/0xa0 bus_for_each_drv+0x67/0xb0 __device_attach+0xdc/0x170 device_initial_probe+0x13/0x20 bus_probe_device+0x92/0xa0 device_add+0x4aa/0x670 device_register+0x1a/0x20 i2c_new_device+0x18e/0x230 acpi_i2c_add_device+0x1a0/0x210 INFO: Freed in i2c_hid_free_buffers+0x16/0x60 [i2c_hid] age=7552 cpu=1 pid=1473 __slab_free+0x221/0x330 kfree+0x139/0x160 i2c_hid_free_buffers+0x16/0x60 [i2c_hid] i2c_hid_start+0x2a9/0x2df [i2c_hid] mt_probe+0x160/0x22e [hid_multitouch] hid_device_probe+0xd7/0x150 [hid] driver_probe_device+0x220/0x4a0 __driver_attach+0x84/0x90 bus_for_each_dev+0x6c/0xc0 driver_attach+0x1e/0x20 bus_add_driver+0x1c3/0x280 driver_register+0x60/0xe0 __hid_register_driver+0x53/0x90 [hid] 0xffffffffc004f01e do_one_initcall+0xb3/0x1f0 do_init_module+0x5f/0x1d0 INFO: Slab 0xffffea0009902080 objects=20 used=20 fp=0x (null) flags=0x17fff8000004080 INFO: Object 0xffff880264083260 @offset=4704 fp=0x (null) Bytes b4 ffff880264083250: 8d e6 fe ff 00 00 00 00 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a ........ZZZZZZZZ Object ffff880264083260: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Object ffff880264083270: 6b 6b 6b 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 kkk.............
