genhd: Fix use after free in __blkdev_get()
When two blkdev_open() calls race with device removal and recreation,
__blkdev_get() can use looked up gendisk after it is freed:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
del_gendisk(disk);
bdev_unhash_inode(inode);
blkdev_open() blkdev_open()
bdev = bd_acquire(inode);
- creates and returns new inode
bdev = bd_acquire(inode);
- returns the same inode
__blkdev_get(devt) __blkdev_get(devt)
disk = get_gendisk(devt);
- got structure of device going away
<finish device removal>
<new device gets
created under the same
device number>
disk = get_gendisk(devt);
- got new device structure
if (!bdev->bd_openers) {
does the first open
}
if (!bdev->bd_openers)
- false
} else {
put_disk_and_module(disk)
- remember this was old device - this was last ref and disk is
now freed
}
disk_unblock_events(disk); -> oops
Fix the problem by making sure we drop reference to disk in
__blkdev_get() only after we are really done with it.
