[PATCH v3 0/1] net: nfc: fix use-after-free in nfc_get_local_general_bytes

From: Luxiao Xu <redacted>

This series addresses a use-after-free (UAF) regression introduced by
commit 6709d4b7bc2e ("net: nfc: Fix use-after-free caused by
nfc_llcp_find_local").

In commit 6709d4b7bc2e, nfc_llcp_local_put(local) was added right before
returning local->gb. However, if the reference count drops to zero, the
object is immediately freed, causing callers accessing the returned
pointer to trigger a use-after-free.

Using dynamic allocation (e.g. kmemdup) to copy the buffer was evaluated
in v1, but it led to memory leaks because all callers consistently treat
the returned buffer as borrowed memory and do not free it.

To solve this properly without lifetime issues or leaks, this patch
refactors nfc_llcp_general_bytes() and nfc_get_local_general_bytes() to
take a caller-provided destination buffer and maximum length. The bytes
are safely copied before dropping the reference via nfc_llcp_local_put().
All callers in core and drivers (microread, pn533, pn544, st21nfca,
digital_dep, and nci) are updated accordingly.

---
v3:
 - Include <net/nfc/nfc.h> in pn533.h to fix build error in uart.c
   caused by undefined NFC_MAX_GT_LEN.
 - Restore nci_request() in nci_set_local_general_bytes() to preserve
   ndev->req_lock synchronization (avoid unlocked __nci_request() via
   nci_set_config()).
v2 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1788157545.git.rakukuip@gmail.com/ (local)
v2:
 - Use caller-provided output buffers to fix UAF instead of dynamic
   allocation (kmemdup), avoiding memory leaks.
