This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled gpiolib: cdev: fix NULL-pointer dereferences to the 6.1-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: gpiolib-cdev-fix-null-pointer-dereferences.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 4d6dfc9758faffe5a93c4e697898f352c1fd168f Author: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Dec 5 13:39:02 2022 +0100 gpiolib: cdev: fix NULL-pointer dereferences [ Upstream commit 533aae7c94dbc2b14301cfd68ae7e0e90f0c8438 ] There are several places where we can crash the kernel by requesting lines, unbinding the GPIO device, then calling any of the system calls relevant to the GPIO character device's annonymous file descriptors: ioctl(), read(), poll(). While I observed it with the GPIO simulator, it will also happen for any of the GPIO devices that can be hot-unplugged - for instance any HID GPIO expander (e.g. CP2112). This affects both v1 and v2 uAPI. This fixes it partially by checking if gdev->chip is not NULL but it doesn't entirely remedy the situation as we still have a race condition in which another thread can remove the device after the check. Fixes: d7c51b47ac11 ("gpio: userspace ABI for reading/writing GPIO lines") Fixes: 3c0d9c635ae2 ("gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_GET_LINE_IOCTL and GPIO_V2_LINE_GET_VALUES_IOCTL") Fixes: aad955842d1c ("gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_GET_LINEINFO_IOCTL and GPIO_V2_GET_LINEINFO_WATCH_IOCTL") Fixes: a54756cb24ea ("gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_LINE_SET_CONFIG_IOCTL") Fixes: 7b8e00d98168 ("gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_LINE_SET_VALUES_IOCTL") Signed-off-by: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/drivers/gpio/gpiolib-cdev.c b/drivers/gpio/gpiolib-cdev.c index 0cb6b468f364..6fa5c2169985 100644 --- a/drivers/gpio/gpiolib-cdev.c +++ b/drivers/gpio/gpiolib-cdev.c @@ -201,6 +201,9 @@ static long linehandle_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned int i; int ret; + if (!lh->gdev->chip) + return -ENODEV; + switch (cmd) { case GPIOHANDLE_GET_LINE_VALUES_IOCTL: /* NOTE: It's okay to read values of output lines */ @@ -1384,6 +1387,9 @@ static long linereq_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, struct linereq *lr = file->private_data; void __user *ip = (void __user *)arg; + if (!lr->gdev->chip) + return -ENODEV; + switch (cmd) { case GPIO_V2_LINE_GET_VALUES_IOCTL: return linereq_get_values(lr, ip); @@ -1410,6 +1416,9 @@ static __poll_t linereq_poll(struct file *file, struct linereq *lr = file->private_data; __poll_t events = 0; + if (!lr->gdev->chip) + return EPOLLHUP | EPOLLERR; + poll_wait(file, &lr->wait, wait); if (!kfifo_is_empty_spinlocked_noirqsave(&lr->events, @@ -1429,6 +1438,9 @@ static ssize_t linereq_read(struct file *file, ssize_t bytes_read = 0; int ret; + if (!lr->gdev->chip) + return -ENODEV; + if (count < sizeof(le)) return -EINVAL; @@ -1716,6 +1728,9 @@ static __poll_t lineevent_poll(struct file *file, struct lineevent_state *le = file->private_data; __poll_t events = 0; + if (!le->gdev->chip) + return EPOLLHUP | EPOLLERR; + poll_wait(file, &le->wait, wait); if (!kfifo_is_empty_spinlocked_noirqsave(&le->events, &le->wait.lock)) @@ -1740,6 +1755,9 @@ static ssize_t lineevent_read(struct file *file, ssize_t ge_size; int ret; + if (!le->gdev->chip) + return -ENODEV; + /* * When compatible system call is being used the struct gpioevent_data, * in case of at least ia32, has different size due to the alignment @@ -1821,6 +1839,9 @@ static long lineevent_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, void __user *ip = (void __user *)arg; struct gpiohandle_data ghd; + if (!le->gdev->chip) + return -ENODEV; + /* * We can get the value for an event line but not set it, * because it is input by definition. @@ -2407,6 +2428,9 @@ static __poll_t lineinfo_watch_poll(struct file *file, struct gpio_chardev_data *cdev = file->private_data; __poll_t events = 0; + if (!cdev->gdev->chip) + return EPOLLHUP | EPOLLERR; + poll_wait(file, &cdev->wait, pollt); if (!kfifo_is_empty_spinlocked_noirqsave(&cdev->events, @@ -2425,6 +2449,9 @@ static ssize_t lineinfo_watch_read(struct file *file, char __user *buf, int ret; size_t event_size; + if (!cdev->gdev->chip) + return -ENODEV; + #ifndef CONFIG_GPIO_CDEV_V1 event_size = sizeof(struct gpio_v2_line_info_changed); if (count < event_size)
