how it was guaranteed that mddev_get() would fail as mddev_free() does not check or synchronize with the active atomic

Please check how mddev is freed, start from mddev_put(). There might be
something wrong, but it's not what you said.

I will take a look. Though if you're confident that this logic protects
any uaf, that makes sense to me.

However as I mentioned this is not what the crash was about (I mentioned
the UAF in passing). The GPF seems to be about deleting the _next_
pointer while iterating over all mddevs. The mddev_get on the
current item is not going to help with this.


You don't need to emphasize this, it is still speculate without solid
theoretical analysis. The point about mddev_get() is that it's done
inside the lock, it shoud gurantee continue iterating should be fine.

I just take a quick look, the problem looks obviously to me, see how
md_seq_show() handle the iteration.

While cooking the patch, this is not enough, list_for_each_entry_safe()
should be replaced with list_for_each_entry() as well.

Will send the patch soon, with:
