ptp: fix the race between the release of ptp_clock and cdev
[ Upstream commit a33121e5487b424339636b25c35d3a180eaa5f5e ]
In a case when a ptp chardev (like /dev/ptp0) is open but an underlying
device is removed, closing this file leads to a race. This reproduces
easily in a kvm virtual machine:
ts# cat openptp0.c
int main() { ... fp = fopen("/dev/ptp0", "r"); ... sleep(10); }
ts# uname -r
5.5.0-rc3-46cf053e
ts# cat /proc/cmdline
... slub_debug=FZP
ts# modprobe ptp_kvm
ts# ./openptp0 &
[1] 670
opened /dev/ptp0, sleeping 10s...
ts# rmmod ptp_kvm
ts# ls /dev/ptp*
ls: cannot access '/dev/ptp*': No such file or directory
ts# ...woken up

[ 48.045001] Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!
This happens in:
static void __fput(struct file *file)
{ ...
if (file->f_op->release)
file->f_op->release(inode, file); <<< cdev is kfree'd here
if (unlikely(S_ISCHR(inode->i_mode) && inode->i_cdev != NULL &&
!(mode & FMODE_PATH))) {
cdev_put(inode->i_cdev); <<< cdev fields are accessed here
Namely:
__fput()
posix_clock_release()
kref_put(&clk->kref, delete_clock) <<< the last reference
delete_clock()
delete_ptp_clock()
kfree(ptp) <<< cdev is embedded in ptp
cdev_put
module_put(p->owner) <<< *p is kfree'd, bang!
Here cdev is embedded in posix_clock which is embedded in ptp_clock.
The race happens because ptp_clock's lifetime is controlled by two
refcounts: kref and cdev.kobj in posix_clock. This is wrong.
Make ptp_clock's sysfs device a parent of cdev with cdev_device_add()
created especially for such cases. This way the parent device with its
ptp_clock is not released until all references to the cdev are released.
This adds a requirement that an initialized but not exposed struct
device should be provided to posix_clock_register() by a caller instead
of a simple dev_t.
This approach was adopted from the commit 72139dfa2464 ("watchdog: Fix
the race between the release of watchdog_core_data and cdev"). See
details of the implementation in the commit 233ed09d7fda ("chardev: add
helper function to register char devs with a struct device").
