There is a race condition between removing glue directory and adding a new device under the glue directory. It can be reproduced in following test:
path 1: Add the child device under glue dir device_add() get_device_parent() mutex_lock(&gdp_mutex); .... /*find parent from glue_dirs.list*/ list_for_each_entry(k, &dev->class->p->glue_dirs.list, entry) if (k->parent == parent_kobj) { kobj = kobject_get(k); break; } .... mutex_unlock(&gdp_mutex); .... .... kobject_add() kobject_add_internal() create_dir() sysfs_create_dir_ns() if (kobj->parent) parent = kobj->parent->sd; .... kernfs_create_dir_ns(parent) kernfs_new_node() kernfs_get(parent) .... /* link in */ rc = kernfs_add_one(kn); if (!rc) return kn;
kernfs_put(kn) .... repeat: kmem_cache_free(kn) kn = parent;
if (kn) { if (atomic_dec_and_test(&kn->count)) goto repeat; } ....
path2: Remove last child device under glue dir device_del() cleanup_device_parent() cleanup_glue_dir() mutex_lock(&gdp_mutex); if (!kobject_has_children(glue_dir)) kobject_del(glue_dir); kobject_put(glue_dir); mutex_unlock(&gdp_mutex);
Before path2 remove last child device under glue dir, If path1 add a new device under glue dir, the glue_dir kobject reference count will be increase to 2 via kobject_get(k) in get_device_parent(). And path1 has been called kernfs_new_node(), but not call kernfs_get(parent). Meanwhile, path2 call kobject_del(glue_dir) beacause 0 is returned by kobject_has_children(). This result in glue_dir->sd is freed and it's reference count will be 0. Then path1 call kernfs_get(parent) will trigger a warning in kernfs_get()(WARN_ON(!atomic_read(&kn->count))) and increase it's reference count to 1. Because glue_dir->sd is freed by path2, the next call kernfs_add_one() by path1 will fail(This is also use-after-free) and call atomic_dec_and_test() to decrease reference count. Because the reference count is decremented to 0, it will also call kmem_cache_free() to free glue_dir->sd again. This will result in double free.
In order to avoid this happening, we we should not call kobject_del() on path2 when the reference count of glue_dir is greater than 1. So we add a conditional statement to fix it.
The following calltrace is captured in kernel 4.14 with the following patch applied:
