This patch eliminates the following smatch warning: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_auth.c:320 drm_master_release() warn: unlocked access 'master' (line 318) expected lock '&dev->master_mutex' The 'file_priv->master' field should be protected by the mutex lock to '&dev->master_mutex'. This is because other processes can concurrently modify this field and free the current 'file_priv->master' pointer. This could result in a use-after-free error when 'master' is dereferenced in subsequent function calls to 'drm_legacy_lock_master_cleanup()' or to 'drm_lease_revoke()'. An example of a scenario that would produce this error can be seen from a similar bug in 'drm_getunique()' that was reported by Syzbot: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=148d2f1dfac64af52ffd27b661981a540724f803 In the Syzbot report, another process concurrently acquired the device's master mutex in 'drm_setmaster_ioctl()', then overwrote 'fpriv->master' in 'drm_new_set_master()'. The old value of 'fpriv->master' was subsequently freed before the mutex was unlocked. Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <redacted> Signed-off-by: Desmond Cheong Zhi Xi <redacted>
Thanks a lot. I've done an audit of this code, and I found another potential problem in drm_is_current_master. The callers from drm_auth.c hold the dev->master_mutex, but all the external ones dont. I think we need to split this into a _locked function for use within drm_auth.c, and the exported one needs to grab the dev->master_mutex while it's checking master status. Ofc there will still be races, those are ok, but right now we run the risk of use-after free problems in drm_lease_owner. Are you up to do that fix too? I think the drm_lease.c code also needs an audit, there we'd need to make sure that we hold hold either the lock or a full master reference to avoid the use-after-free issues here. Patch merged to drm-misc-fixes with cc: stable. -Daniel
