The following race occurs while accessing the dmabuf object exported as file: P1 P2 dma_buf_release() dmabuffs_dname() [say lsof reading /proc/<P1 pid>/fd/<num>] read dmabuf stored in dentry->d_fsdata Free the dmabuf object Start accessing the dmabuf structure In the above description, the dmabuf object freed in P1 is being accessed from P2 which is resulting into the use-after-free. Below is the dump stack reported. We are reading the dmabuf object stored in the dentry->d_fsdata but there is no binding between the dentry and the dmabuf which means that the dmabuf can be freed while it is being read from ->d_fsdata and inuse. Reviews on the patch V1 says that protecting the dmabuf inuse with an extra refcount is not a viable solution as the exported dmabuf is already under file's refcount and keeping the multiple refcounts on the same object coordinated is not possible. As we are reading the dmabuf in ->d_fsdata just to get the user passed name, we can directly store the name in d_fsdata thus can avoid the reading of dmabuf altogether.
