This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled EDAC/ghes: Check whether the driver is on the safe list correctly to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: edac-ghes-check-whether-the-driver-is-on-the-safe-li.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 16385cb172700d7a0a9e5c25d1ace2343b55ee70 Author: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx> Date: Fri Sep 11 18:17:30 2020 +0200 EDAC/ghes: Check whether the driver is on the safe list correctly [ Upstream commit 251c54ea26fa6029b01a76161a37a12fde5124e4 ] With CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE=y, a system would try to probe, unregister and probe again a driver. When ghes_edac is attempted to be loaded on a system which is not on the safe platforms list, ghes_edac_register() would return early. The unregister counterpart ghes_edac_unregister() would still attempt to unregister and exit early at the refcount test, leading to the refcount underflow below. In order to not do *anything* on the unregister path too, reuse the force_load parameter and check it on that path too, before fumbling with the refcount. ghes_edac: ghes_edac_register: entry ghes_edac: ghes_edac_register: return -ENODEV ------------[ cut here ]------------ refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
