driver core: Fix use-after-free and double free on glue directory
There is a race condition between removing glue directory and adding a new
device under the glue dir. It can be reproduced in following test:
CPU1: CPU2:
device_add()
get_device_parent()
class_dir_create_and_add()
kobject_add_internal()
create_dir() // create glue_dir
device_add()
get_device_parent()
kobject_get() // get glue_dir
device_del()
cleanup_glue_dir()
kobject_del(glue_dir)
kobject_add()
kobject_add_internal()
create_dir() // in glue_dir
sysfs_create_dir_ns()
kernfs_create_dir_ns(sd)
sysfs_remove_dir() // glue_dir->sd=NULL
sysfs_put() // free glue_dir->sd
// sd is freed
kernfs_new_node(sd)
kernfs_get(glue_dir)
kernfs_add_one()
kernfs_put()
Before CPU1 remove last child device under glue dir, if CPU2 add a new
device under glue dir, the glue_dir kobject reference count will be
increase to 2 via kobject_get() in get_device_parent(). And CPU2 has
been called kernfs_create_dir_ns(), but not call kernfs_new_node().
Meanwhile, CPU1 call sysfs_remove_dir() and sysfs_put(). This result in
glue_dir->sd is freed and it's reference count will be 0. Then CPU2 call
kernfs_get(glue_dir) will trigger a warning in kernfs_get() and increase
it's reference count to 1. Because glue_dir->sd is freed by CPU1, the next
call kernfs_add_one() by CPU2 will fail(This is also use-after-free)
and call kernfs_put() to decrease reference count. Because the reference
count is decremented to 0, it will also call kmem_cache_free() to free
the glue_dir->sd again. This will result in double free.
In order to avoid this happening, we also should make sure that kernfs_node
for glue_dir is released in CPU1 only when refcount for glue_dir kobj is
1 to fix this race.
