The watchdog_timer can schedule tx_timeout_task and watchdog_work
can also arm watchdog_timer. The process is shown below:
----------- timer schedules work ------------
cyttsp4_watchdog_timer() //timer handler
schedule_work(&cd->watchdog_work)
----------- work arms timer ------------
cyttsp4_watchdog_work() //workqueue callback function
cyttsp4_start_wd_timer()
mod_timer(&cd->watchdog_timer, ...)
Although del_timer_sync() and cancel_work_sync() are called in
cyttsp4_remove(), the timer and workqueue could still be rearmed.
As a result, the possible use after free bugs could happen. The
process is shown below:
(cleanup routine) | (timer and workqueue routine)
cyttsp4_remove() | cyttsp4_watchdog_timer() //timer
cyttsp4_stop_wd_timer() | schedule_work()
del_timer_sync() |
| cyttsp4_watchdog_work() //worker
| cyttsp4_start_wd_timer()
| mod_timer()
cancel_work_sync() |
| cyttsp4_watchdog_timer() //timer
| schedule_work()
del_timer_sync() |
kfree(cd) //FREE |
| cyttsp4_watchdog_work() // reschedule!
| cd-> //USE
This patch changes del_timer_sync() to timer_shutdown_sync(),
which could prevent rearming of the timer from the workqueue.
