On a board running ntpd and gpsd, I'm seeing a consistent use-after-free
in sys_exit() from gpsd when rebooting:
pps pps1: removed

...followed by more symptoms of corruption, with similar stacks:
refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:62!
Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops - BUG: Fatal exception
This happens because pps_device_destruct() frees the pps_device with the
embedded cdev immediately after calling cdev_del(), but, as the comment
above cdev_del() notes, fops for previously opened cdevs are still
callable even after cdev_del() returns. I think this bug has always
been there: I can't explain why it suddenly started happening every time
I reboot this particular board.
In commit d953e0e837e6 ("pps: Fix a use-after free bug when
unregistering a source."), George Spelvin suggested removing the
embedded cdev. That seems like the simplest way to fix this, so I've
implemented his suggestion, with pps_idr becoming the source of truth
for which minor corresponds to which device.
But now that pps_idr defines userspace visibility instead of cdev_add(),
we need to be sure the pps->dev kobject refcount can't reach zero while
userspace can still find it again. So, the idr_remove() call moves to
pps_unregister_cdev(), and pps_idr now holds a reference to the pps->dev
kobject.
pps_core: source serial1 got cdev (251:1)

pps pps1: removed
pps_core: unregistering pps1

Something is wrong with the reference counting here...

You remove it, but now the structure has no reference counting at all,
so you should make it a real "struct device" not just containing a
pointer to one.

An idr shouldn't be doing the reference counting here, the struct device
should be doing it, right?

A driver should never call "raw" kobject calls, this alone makes this
not ok :(
Please move the structure to be embedded in and then it should be
simpler.

It still uses the device refcount. I didn't change that, see the
kobject_get() (which is confusing and should be get_device() as you note
below) in pps_cdev_open() before my patch.

Right, I was trying to explain that it is now necessary to call
get_device() to acquire a reference while the device minor is indexed by
the idr.
Before, the minor was deindexed in the idr in ->release(). But now,
since it is visible the moment it is indexed by the idr, deindexing it
in ->release() means this could happen during removal:
CPU1 CPU2
--- ---
pps_unregister_cdev()
<...>
sys_open()
<...>
idr_lookup()
idr_remove()
put_device() <--- ref goes to zero
get_device() <--- BOOM
pps_device_destruct()
pps_idr_remove()
By calling get_device() in pps_idr_get(), and by moving the idr
deindexing from ->release() to pps_unregister_cdev(), we ensure that
can't happen.

Oh this is silly, sorry: it's simply open coding put_device() and
get_device(), I'll fix that.

I actually tried to do that, but got hung up on the API: what's the
right way to do what device_create() does for an embedded device struct?
Today, the pps core does:
pps = kzalloc(sizeof(*pps));
...then later in pps_register_cdev():
idr_alloc(&newmin, ...);
pps->dev = device_create(..., MKDEV(maj, newmin), ...);
To embed the device struct, I guess this would become something like:
pps = kzalloc(sizeof(*pps));
device_initialize(&pps->dev);
idr_alloc(&newmin, ...);
/* ??? */
device_register(&pps->dev);
...but the question marks are what I'm not seeing: what's the proper way
to accomplish what device_create() does, but in an embedded dev struct?
Obviously I could just copy device_create(), but I'm sure that's not
what you want.

On a board running ntpd and gpsd, I'm seeing a consistent use-after-free

kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:62!
Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops - BUG: Fatal exception
This happens because pps_device_destruct() frees the pps_device with the
embedded cdev immediately after calling cdev_del(), but, as the comment
above cdev_del() notes, fops for previously opened cdevs are still
callable even after cdev_del() returns. I think this bug has always
been there: I can't explain why it suddenly started happening every time
I reboot this particular board.
In commit d953e0e837e6 ("pps: Fix a use-after free bug when
unregistering a source."), George Spelvin suggested removing the
embedded cdev. That seems like the simplest way to fix this, so I've
implemented his suggestion, using __register_chrdev() with pps_idr
becoming the source of truth for which minor corresponds to which
device.
But now that pps_idr defines userspace visibility instead of cdev_add(),
we need to be sure the pps->dev refcount can't reach zero while
userspace can still find it again. So, the idr_remove() call moves to
pps_unregister_cdev(), and pps_idr now holds a reference to pps->dev.
pps_core: source serial1 got cdev (251:1)
<...>
pps pps1: removed
pps_core: unregistering pps1
pps_core: deallocating pps1

Changes in v3:
- Shorten patch title
- Embed the device struct in the pps struct
- Use foo_device(&pps->dev) instead of kobject_foo(&pps->dev.kobj)
Changes in v2:
- Don't move pr_debug() from pps_device_destruct() to pps_unregister_cdev()
- Actually add stable@vger.kernel.org to CC

Nit, when drivers work properly, they are quiet, no need for these
dev_info() calls.

If this can happen, handle it and move on. Don't just reboot the
machine if it's something that could be triggered (remember about
panic-on-warn systems.)

It's a fairly paranoid WARN(): it's a bug if it happens, and I don't
think it can happen. Should I remove it?
The test-robot found a couple *pps->dev dereferences I missed, I'll send
a v4 in the next day or two with those fixed as well.
Thanks,
Calvin

refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:62!
Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops - BUG: Fatal exception
This happens because pps_device_destruct() frees the pps_device with the
embedded cdev immediately after calling cdev_del(), but, as the comment
above cdev_del() notes, fops for previously opened cdevs are still
callable even after cdev_del() returns. I think this bug has always
been there: I can't explain why it suddenly started happening every time
I reboot this particular board.
In commit d953e0e837e6 ("pps: Fix a use-after free bug when
unregistering a source."), George Spelvin suggested removing the
embedded cdev. That seems like the simplest way to fix this, so I've
implemented his suggestion, using __register_chrdev() with pps_idr
becoming the source of truth for which minor corresponds to which
device.
But now that pps_idr defines userspace visibility instead of cdev_add(),
we need to be sure the pps->dev refcount can't reach zero while
userspace can still find it again. So, the idr_remove() call moves to
pps_unregister_cdev(), and pps_idr now holds a reference to pps->dev.
pps_core: source serial1 got cdev (251:1)
<...>
pps pps1: removed
pps_core: unregistering pps1
pps_core: deallocating pps1
Fixes: d953e0e837e6 ("pps: Fix a use-after free bug when unregistering a source.")

Changes in v4:
- Fix compile error in ptp_ocp
- Change five dev_info() calls to dev_dbg()
Changes in v3:
- Shorten patch title
- Embed the device struct in the pps struct
- Use foo_device(&pps->dev) instead of kobject_foo(&pps->dev.kobj)
Changes in v2:
- Don't move pr_debug() from pps_device_destruct() to pps_unregister_cdev()
- Actually add stable@vger.kernel.org to CC

> In commit d953e0e837e6 ("pps: Fix a use-after free bug when

> But now that pps_idr defines userspace visibility instead of cdev_add(),
