[PATCH 3.14 37/84] IB/uverbs: Fix race between ib_uverbs_open and remove_one

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Sep 29 2015 - 11:21:21 EST


3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Yishai Hadas <yishaih@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 35d4a0b63dc0c6d1177d4f532a9deae958f0662c upstream.

Fixes: 2a72f212263701b927559f6850446421d5906c41 ("IB/uverbs: Remove dev_table")

Before this commit there was a device look-up table that was protected
by a spin_lock used by ib_uverbs_open and by ib_uverbs_remove_one. When
it was dropped and container_of was used instead, it enabled the race
with remove_one as dev might be freed just after:
dev = container_of(inode->i_cdev, struct ib_uverbs_device, cdev) but
before the kref_get.

In addition, this buggy patch added some dead code as
container_of(x,y,z) can never be NULL and so dev can never be NULL.
As a result the comment above ib_uverbs_open saying "the open method
will either immediately run -ENXIO" is wrong as it can never happen.

The solution follows Jason Gunthorpe suggestion from below URL:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-rdma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg25692.html

cdev will hold a kref on the parent (the containing structure,
ib_uverbs_device) and only when that kref is released it is
guaranteed that open will never be called again.

In addition, fixes the active count scheme to use an atomic
not a kref to prevent WARN_ON as pointed by above comment
from Jason.
