This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled class: fix use-after-free in class_register() to the 6.7-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: class-fix-use-after-free-in-class_register.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.7 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 93ec4a3b76404bce01bd5c9032bef5df6feb1d62 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jing Xia <jing.xia@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2023 10:46:03 +0800 Subject: class: fix use-after-free in class_register() From: Jing Xia <jing.xia@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 93ec4a3b76404bce01bd5c9032bef5df6feb1d62 upstream. The lock_class_key is still registered and can be found in lock_keys_hash hlist after subsys_private is freed in error handler path.A task who iterate over the lock_keys_hash later may cause use-after-free.So fix that up and unregister the lock_class_key before kfree(cp). On our platform, a driver fails to kset_register because of creating duplicate filename '/class/xxx'.With Kasan enabled, it prints a invalid-access bug report.

It's worth noting that this only can happen if lockdep is enabled, which is not true for normal system.
