Subject[PATCH 0/3] drm/nouveau: fix a use-after-free in postclose()
Date
This series fixes a number of use-after-frees in nouveau's postclose()
handler. It was discovered by pointing IGT's core_hotunplug tests at a
nouveau device, but the steps to reproduce it are simple:

1. Open the device file
2. Unbind the driver or remove the device
3. Close the file opened in step 1.

During the device removal, the nouveau_drm structure is de-allocated,
but is dereferenced in the postclose() handler.

One obvious solution is to ensure all the operations in the postclose()
handler are valid by extending the lifetime of the nouveau_drm
structure. This is possible with the new devm_drm_dev_alloc() interface,
but the change is somewhat invasive so I thought it best to submit that
work separately.

Instead, we make use of the drm_dev_unplug() API, clean up all clients
in the device removal call, and check to make sure the device has not
been unplugged in the postclose() handler. While this does not enable
hot-unplug support for nouveau, it's enough to avoid crashing the kernel
and leads to all the core_hotunplug tests to pass.

drm/nouveau: Add a dedicated mutex for the clients list
drm/nouveau: clean up all clients on device removal
