[PATCH 3.16 242/245] [media] media-device: dynamically allocate struct media_devnode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



3.16.83-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit a087ce704b802becbb4b0f2a20f2cb3f6911802e upstream.

struct media_devnode is currently embedded at struct media_device.

While this works fine during normal usage, it leads to a race
condition during devnode unregister. the problem is that drivers
assume that, after calling media_device_unregister(), the struct
that contains media_device can be freed. This is not true, as it
can't be freed until userspace closes all opened /dev/media devnodes.

In other words, if the media devnode is still open, and media_device
gets freed, any call to an ioctl will make the core to try to access
struct media_device, with will cause an use-after-free and even GPF.

Fix this by dynamically allocating the struct media_devnode and only
freeing it when it is safe.
