Indeed, you are correct again. [0] is the final version of the patch I've
but don't have an i915 test machine to give it a try. I'll test tomorrow
on my test systems to verify that it doesn't cause any regressions since
with other DRM drivers.

I think that besides this patch, drivers shouldn't need to call to the
drm_fb_helper_fini() function directly. Since that would be called during
drm_fbdev_fb_destroy() anyways.

We should probably remove that call in all drivers and make this helper
function static and just private to drm_fb_helper functions.

Or am I missing something here ?

Subject: [RFT PATCH] drm/fb-helper: Don't deallocate fb colormap and free fb info
too early

Currently these are done in drm_fb_helper_fini() but this helper is called
by drivers in their .remove callback, which could lead to a use-after-free
if a process has opened the emulated fbdev node while a driver is removed.

For example, in i915 driver the call chain during remove is the following:

struct pci_driver i915_pci_driver = {
...
.remove = i915_pci_remove,
...
};

i915_pci_remove
i915_driver_remove
intel_modeset_driver_remove_noirq
intel_fbdev_fini
intel_fbdev_destroy
drm_fb_helper_fini
framebuffer_release

Later the process will close the fbdev node file descriptor leading to the
mentioned use-after-free bug in drm_fbdev_fb_destroy(), due the following:

drm_fbdev_fb_destroy
drm_fbdev_release(info->par); <-- info was already freed on .remove

To prevent that, let's move the framebuffer_release() call to the end of
the drm_fbdev_fb_destroy() function.

Also, the call to fb_dealloc_cmap() in drm_fb_helper_fini() is too early
and is more correct to do it in drm_fbdev_fb_destroy() as well. After a
call to drm_fbdev_release() has been made.
