6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Zheng Wang <zyytlz.wz@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit bd5b50b329e850d467e7bcc07b2b6bde3752fbda ] There may be some a race condition between timer function bttv_irq_timeout and bttv_remove. The timer is setup in probe and there is no timer_delete operation in remove function. When it hit kfree btv, the function might still be invoked, which will cause use after free bug. This bug is found by static analysis, it may be false positive. Fix it by adding del_timer_sync invoking to the remove function. cpu0 cpu1 bttv_probe ->timer_setup ->bttv_set_dma ->mod_timer; bttv_remove ->kfree(btv); ->bttv_irq_timeout ->USE btv Fixes: 162e6376ac58 ("media: pci: Convert timers to use timer_setup()") Signed-off-by: Zheng Wang <zyytlz.wz@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/media/pci/bt8xx/bttv-driver.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/drivers/media/pci/bt8xx/bttv-driver.c b/drivers/media/pci/bt8xx/bttv-driver.c index d40b537f4e98b..24ba5729969dc 100644 --- a/drivers/media/pci/bt8xx/bttv-driver.c +++ b/drivers/media/pci/bt8xx/bttv-driver.c @@ -4248,6 +4248,7 @@ static void bttv_remove(struct pci_dev *pci_dev) /* free resources */ free_irq(btv->c.pci->irq,btv); + del_timer_sync(&btv->timeout); iounmap(btv->bt848_mmio); release_mem_region(pci_resource_start(btv->c.pci,0), pci_resource_len(btv->c.pci,0)); -- 2.42.0
