From 60e1751cb52cc6d1ae04b6bd3c2b96e770b5823f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bart Van Assche Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2014 18:25:04 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] IB/umad: Fix use-after-free on close Avoid that closing /dev/infiniband/umad or /dev/infiniband/issm triggers a use-after-free. __fput() invokes f_op->release() before it invokes cdev_put(). Make sure that the ib_umad_device structure is freed by the cdev_put() call instead of f_op->release(). This avoids that changing the port mode from IB into Ethernet and back to IB followed by restarting opensmd triggers the following kernel oops: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP RIP: 0010:[] [] module_put+0x2c/0x170 Call Trace: [] cdev_put+0x20/0x30 [] __fput+0x1ae/0x1f0 [] ____fput+0xe/0x10 [] task_work_run+0xac/0xe0 [] do_notify_resume+0x9f/0xc0 [] int_signal+0x12/0x17 Reference: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75051 Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche Reviewed-by: Yann Droneaud Cc: # 3.x: 8ec0a0e6b58: IB/umad: Fix error handling Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier --- Reading git-format-patch failed
