[RFC PATCH] drm/bridge: panel: Use devm_drm_bridge_add()
Posted by Fei Shao 1 month, 2 weeks ago
In the mtk_dsi driver, its DSI host attach callback calls
devm_drm_of_get_bridge() to get the next bridge. If that next bridge is
a panel bridge, a panel_bridge object is allocated and managed by the
panel device.

Later, if the attach callback fails with -EPROBE_DEFER from subsequent
component_add(), the panel device invoking the callback at probe time
also fails, and all device-managed resources are freed accordingly.

This exposes a drm_bridge bridge_list corruption due to the unbalanced
lifecycle between the DSI host and the panel devices: the panel_bridge
object managed by panel device is freed, while drm_bridge_remove() is
bound to DSI host device and never gets called.
The next drm_bridge_add() will trigger UAF against the freed bridge list
object and result in kernel panic.

This bug is observed on a MediaTek MT8188-based Chromebook with MIPI DSI
outputting to a DSI panel (DT is WIP for upstream).

As a fix, using devm_drm_bridge_add() with the panel device in the panel
path seems reasonable. This also implies a chain of potential cleanup
actions:

1. Removing drm_bridge_remove() means devm_drm_panel_bridge_release()
   becomes hollow and can be removed.

2. devm_drm_panel_bridge_add_typed() is almost emptied except for the
   `bridge->pre_enable_prev_first` line. Itself can be also removed if
   we move the line into drm_panel_bridge_add_typed(). (maybe?)

3. drm_panel_bridge_add_typed() now calls all the needed devm_* calls,
   so it's essentially the new devm_drm_panel_bridge_add_typed().

4. drmm_panel_bridge_add() needs to be updated accordingly since it
   calls drm_panel_bridge_add_typed(). But now there's only one bridge
   object to be freed, and it's already being managed by panel device.
   I wonder if we still need both drmm_ and devm_ version in this case.
   (maybe yes from DRM PoV, I don't know much about the context)

This is a RFC patch since I'm not sure if my understanding is correct
(for both the fix and the cleanup). It fixes the issue I encountered,
but I don't expect it to be picked up directly due to the redundant
commit message and the dangling devm_drm_panel_bridge_release().
I plan to resend the official patch(es) once I know what I supposed to
do next.

For reference, here's the KASAN report from the device:

I was looking at the driver to try to follow your (awesome btw, thanks)
commit log, and it does have a quite different structure compared to
what we recommend.

Would following
https://docs.kernel.org/gpu/drm-kms-helpers.html#special-care-with-mipi-dsi-bridges
help?

Hi Maxime,

Thank you for the pointer.
I read the suggested pattern in the doc and compared it with the
drivers. If I understand correctly, both the MIPI-DSI host and panel
drivers follow the instructions:

1. The MIPI-DSI host driver must run mipi_dsi_host_register() in its probe hook.
   >> drm/mediatek/mtk_dsi.c runs mipi_dsi_host_register() in the probe hook.
2. In its probe hook, the bridge driver must try to find its MIPI-DSI
host, register as a MIPI-DSI device and attach the MIPI-DSI device to
its host.
   >> drm/panel/panel-himax-hx83102.c follows and runs
mipi_dsi_attach() at the end of probe hook.
3. In its struct mipi_dsi_host_ops.attach hook, the MIPI-DSI host can
now add its component.
   >> drm/mediatek/mtk_dsi.c calls component_add() in the attach callback.

Could you elaborate on the "different structures" you mentioned?

To clarify my point: the issue is that component_add() may return
-EPROBE_DEFER if the component (e.g. DSI encoder) is not ready,
causing the panel bridge to be removed. However, drm_bridge_remove()
is bound to MIPI-DSI host instead of panel bridge, which owns the
actual list_head object.

This might be reproducible with other MIPI-DSI host + panel
combinations by forcibly returning -EPROBE_DEFER in the host attach
hook (verification with another device is needed), so the fix may be
required in drm/bridge/panel.c.

And to Chen-Yu: Thanks for the suggestion. I'll incorporate that into
v2 pending confirmation that it is the correct fix.

Regards,
Fei

Yeah, I think you're just hitting another bridge lifetime issue, and
it's not the only one unfortunately. Tying the bridge structure lifetime
itself to the device is wrong, it should be tied to the DRM device
lifetime instead.

But then, the discussion becomes that bridges typically probe outside of
the "main" DRM device probe path, so you don't have access to the DRM
device structure until attach at best.

That's why I'm a bit skeptical about your patch. It might workaround
your issue, but it doesn't actually solve the problem. I guess the best
way about it would be to convert bridges to reference counting, with the
device taking a reference at probe time when it allocates the structure
(and giving it back at remove time), and the DRM device taking one when
it's attached and one when it's detached.

It's much more involved than just another helper though :/

I think the more immediate issue is that the bridge object's lifetime
and drm_bridge_add/remove are inconsistent when devm_drm_of_get_bridge()
or drmm_of_get_bridge() are used.

These helpers tie the bridge add/removal to the device or drm_device
passed in, but internally they call down to drm_panel_bridge_add_typed()
which allocates the bridge object tied to the panel device.

Without going as far, it's probably better to align the lifecycle of
the two parts. Most other bridge drivers in the kernel have |drm_bridge|
lifecycle tied to their underlying |device|, either with explicit
drm_bridge_{add,remove}() calls in their probe/bind and remove/unbind
callbacks respectively, or with devm_drm_bridge_add in the probe/bind
path. The only ones with a narrower lifecycle are the DSI hosts, which
add the bridge in during host attach and remove it during host detach.

I'm thinking about fixing the panel_bridge lifecycle such that it is
tied to the panel itself. Maybe that would involve making
devm_drm_of_get_bridge() correctly return bridges even if a panel was
found, and then making the panels create and add panel bridges directly,
possibly within drm_panel_add(). Would that make sense?

+1, I was considering writing exactly the same while reading your
review until I reached this paragraph. devm_* is a nice dream, and maybe
APIs that simplify cleanup in a similar way can be implemented (possibly
based on cleanup.h), but behind the scene they will need to rely on a
sound reference-counting base.

I think this comes back to Laurent's comment [1] when devm_drm_of_get_bridge()
was first introduced. Maybe it's best to let the panel core always register
a bridge.

I believe this is incorrect, because the bridge object is still freed
on the next line. If one calls drm_panel_bridge_remove() explicitly,
or somehow the interface device is unbound before the panel device
(which can happen for RGB or LVDS panels where the panel is not a
sub-device of the interface), it will still blow up. Also, some
drivers choose to manage the lifetime themselves with
drm_panel_bridge_add_typed() and drm_panel_bridge_remove(). A new
devm_drm_bridge_remove() function needs to be added and used here.
