Charan Teja reported a 'use-after-free' in dmabuffs_dname [1], which happens if the dma_buf_release() is called while the userspace is accessing the dma_buf pseudo fs's dmabuffs_dname() in another process, and dma_buf_release() releases the dmabuf object when the last reference to the struct file goes away.
I discussed with Arnd Bergmann, and he suggested that rather than tying the dma_buf_release() to the file_operations' release(), we can tie it to the dentry_operations' d_release(), which will be called when the last ref to the dentry is removed. The path exercised by __fput() calls f_op->release() first, and then calls dput, which eventually calls d_op->d_release(). In the 'normal' case, when no userspace access is happening via dma_buf pseudo fs, there should be exactly one fd, file, dentry and inode, so closing the fd will kill of everything right away. In the presented case, the dentry's d_release() will be called only when the dentry's last ref is released. Therefore, lets move dma_buf_release() from fops->release() to d_ops->d_release() Many thanks to Arnd for his FS insights :) [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1238278/ Fixes: bb2bb9030425 ("dma-buf: add DMA_BUF_SET_NAME ioctls") Reported-by: syzbot+3643a18836bce555b...@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Cc: <sta...@vger.kernel.org> [5.3+] Cc: Arnd Bergmann <a...@arndb.de> Reported-by: Charan Teja Reddy <chara...@codeaurora.org> Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <a...@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Sumit Semwal <sumit.sem...@linaro.org> --- v2: per Arnd: Moved dma_buf_release() above to avoid forward declaration; removed dentry_ops check. --- drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c | 54 ++++++++++++++++++--------------------- 1 file changed, 25 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c b/drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c index 01ce125f8e8d..412629601ad3 100644 --- a/drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c +++ b/drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c @@ -54,37 +54,11 @@ static char *dmabuffs_dname(struct dentry *dentry, char *buffer, int buflen) dentry->d_name.name, ret > 0 ? name : ""); } -static const struct dentry_operations dma_buf_dentry_ops = { - .d_dname = dmabuffs_dname, -}; - -static struct vfsmount *dma_buf_mnt; - -static int dma_buf_fs_init_context(struct fs_context *fc) -{ - struct pseudo_fs_context *ctx; - - ctx = init_pseudo(fc, DMA_BUF_MAGIC); - if (!ctx) - return -ENOMEM; - ctx->dops = &dma_buf_dentry_ops; - return 0; -} - -static struct file_system_type dma_buf_fs_type = { - .name = "dmabuf", - .init_fs_context = dma_buf_fs_init_context, - .kill_sb = kill_anon_super, -}; - -static int dma_buf_release(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) +static void dma_buf_release(struct dentry *dentry) { struct dma_buf *dmabuf; - if (!is_dma_buf_file(file)) - return -EINVAL; - - dmabuf = file->private_data; + dmabuf = dentry->d_fsdata; BUG_ON(dmabuf->vmapping_counter); @@ -110,9 +84,32 @@ static int dma_buf_release(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) module_put(dmabuf->owner); kfree(dmabuf->name); kfree(dmabuf); +} + +static const struct dentry_operations dma_buf_dentry_ops = { + .d_dname = dmabuffs_dname, + .d_release = dma_buf_release, +}; + +static struct vfsmount *dma_buf_mnt; + +static int dma_buf_fs_init_context(struct fs_context *fc) +{ + struct pseudo_fs_context *ctx; + + ctx = init_pseudo(fc, DMA_BUF_MAGIC); + if (!ctx) + return -ENOMEM; + ctx->dops = &dma_buf_dentry_ops; return 0; } +static struct file_system_type dma_buf_fs_type = { + .name = "dmabuf", + .init_fs_context = dma_buf_fs_init_context, + .kill_sb = kill_anon_super, +}; + static int dma_buf_mmap_internal(struct file *file, struct vm_area_struct *vma) { struct dma_buf *dmabuf; @@ -412,7 +409,6 @@ static void dma_buf_show_fdinfo(struct seq_file *m, struct file *file) } static const struct file_operations dma_buf_fops = { - .release = dma_buf_release, .mmap = dma_buf_mmap_internal, .llseek = dma_buf_llseek, .poll = dma_buf_poll, -- 2.27.0
