Both vhci_get_user and vhci_release race with open_timeout work. They both contain cancel_delayed_work_sync, but do not test whether the work actually created hdev or not. Since the work can be in progress and _sync will wait for finishing it, we can have data->hdev allocated when cancel_delayed_work_sync returns. But the call sites do 'if (data->hdev)' *before* cancel_delayed_work_sync. As a result: * vhci_get_user allocates a second hdev and puts it into data->hdev. The former is leaked. * vhci_release does not release data->hdev properly as it thinks there is none. Fix both cases by moving the actual test *after* the call to cancel_delayed_work_sync. This can be hit by this program: #include <err.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <time.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/types.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { char buf[] = { 0xff, 0 }; struct iovec iov = { .iov_base = buf, .iov_len = sizeof(buf), }; int fd; srand(time(NULL)); while (1) { const int delta = (rand() % 200 - 100) * 100; fd = open("/dev/vhci", O_RDWR); if (fd < 0) err(1, "open"); usleep(100000 + delta); close(fd); } return 0; } Fixes: 23424c0d31 (Bluetooth: Add support creating virtual AMP controllers) Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx> Cc: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Gustavo Padovan <gustavo@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: <linux-bluetooth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: stable 3.13+ <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/bluetooth/hci_vhci.c | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/bluetooth/hci_vhci.c b/drivers/bluetooth/hci_vhci.c index 7287d774e107..f67ea1c090cb 100644 --- a/drivers/bluetooth/hci_vhci.c +++ b/drivers/bluetooth/hci_vhci.c @@ -189,13 +189,13 @@ static inline ssize_t vhci_get_user(struct vhci_data *data, break; case HCI_VENDOR_PKT: + cancel_delayed_work_sync(&data->open_timeout); + if (data->hdev) { kfree_skb(skb); return -EBADFD; } - cancel_delayed_work_sync(&data->open_timeout); - opcode = *((__u8 *) skb->data); skb_pull(skb, 1); @@ -333,10 +333,12 @@ static int vhci_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) static int vhci_release(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) { struct vhci_data *data = file->private_data; - struct hci_dev *hdev = data->hdev; + struct hci_dev *hdev; cancel_delayed_work_sync(&data->open_timeout); + hdev = data->hdev; + if (hdev) { hci_unregister_dev(hdev); hci_free_dev(hdev); -- 2.7.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
