From: Duoming Zhou <duoming@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 573601521277119f2e2ba5f28ae6e87fc594f4d4 upstream. When the cpu5wdt module is removing, the origin code uses del_timer() to de-activate the timer. If the timer handler is running, del_timer() could not stop it and will return directly. If the port region is released by release_region() and then the timer handler cpu5wdt_trigger() calls outb() to write into the region that is released, the use-after-free bug will happen. Change del_timer() to timer_shutdown_sync() in order that the timer handler could be finished before the port region is released.

As stated in f571faf6e443b6011ccb585d57866177af1f643c "timer_shutdown_sync() has the same functionality as timer_delete_sync() plus the NULL-ification of the timer function." So timer_delete_sync is enough for this case.] Signed-off-by: He Zhe <zhe.he@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/watchdog/cpu5wdt.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/watchdog/cpu5wdt.c b/drivers/watchdog/cpu5wdt.c index 9867a3a936df..91adfb55c972 100644 --- a/drivers/watchdog/cpu5wdt.c +++ b/drivers/watchdog/cpu5wdt.c @@ -252,7 +252,7 @@ static void cpu5wdt_exit(void) if (cpu5wdt_device.queue) { cpu5wdt_device.queue = 0; wait_for_completion(&cpu5wdt_device.stop); - del_timer(&cpu5wdt_device.timer); + timer_delete_sync(&cpu5wdt_device.timer); } misc_deregister(&cpu5wdt_misc); -- 2.25.1
