Kasan has reported the following use after free on dev->iommu.
when a device probe fails and it is in process of freeing dev->iommu
in dev_iommu_free function, a deferred_probe_work_func runs in parallel
and tries to access dev->iommu->fwspec in of_iommu_configure path thus
causing use after free.

Fix this by taking device_lock during probe_iommu_group.

This doesn't seem right - we can't have a non-deterministic situation
where __iommu_probe_device() may or may not be called depending on what
anyone else might be doing with the device at the same time.

I don't fully understand how __iommu_probe_device() and
of_iommu_configure() can be running for the same device at the same
time, but if that's not a race which can be fixed in its own right, then

Thanks for the review comments.

During arm_smmu probe, bus_for_each_dev is called which calls
__iommu_probe_device for each all the devs on that bus.

__iommu_probe_device+0x90/0x394
probe_iommu_group+0x70/0x9c
bus_for_each_dev+0x11c/0x19c
bus_iommu_probe+0xb8/0x7d4
bus_set_iommu+0xcc/0x13c
arm_smmu_bus_init+0x44/0x130 [arm_smmu]
arm_smmu_device_probe+0xb88/0xc54 [arm_smmu]

and the deferred probe function is calling of_iommu_configure on the
same dev which is currently in __iommu_probe_device path in this case
thus causing the race.

I think adding a refcount to dev_iommu would be a more sensible way to
mitigate it.

Right, Adding refcount for dev_iommu should help , I'll post a new patch
with it.


I was seeing if refcount would help here, there is some issues if we add
a refcount within struct dev_iommu

Here the race between below two functions

process 1:
static void dev_iommu_free(struct device *dev)
{
iommu_fwspec_free(dev);
kfree(dev->iommu);
dev->iommu = NULL;
}

Process 2:
static inline struct iommu_fwspec *dev_iommu_fwspec_get(struct device *dev)
{
if (dev->iommu)
return dev->iommu->fwspec;
else
return NULL;
}


when process1 is in kfree(dev->iommu) , process2 passes the check of
if(dev->iommu) and later get the use after free error when it accesses
dev->iomm->fwspec.

Even if we add a refcount within dev_iommu and then call dev_iommu_free
when refcount reaches 0, we later can't check this refcount in
dev_iommu_fwspec_get since its already freed with kfree.
Another issue is iommu_fwspec_free which is called within dev_iommu_free
calls dev_iommu_fwspec_get , so this again causes issue with refcount.

So, I was thinking of adding something like a bool var iommu_dev_set
with in struct device itself and we initialize during dev_iommu_get and
set it to zero in dev_iommu_free, rest of the places we just check it.

Any thoughts on this ?

Well, yeah... "adding a refcount to dev_iommu" doesn't mean literally just bodging an extra variable into code not designed for concurrency, it was meant to imply "thoroughly redesign the current dev_iommu interfaces to work in a reference-counted manner which actually acknowledges concurrent usage". The places that currently call dev_iommu_free() would still set dev->iommu to NULL, *then* drop the reference from iommu_probe_device(). There wouldn't even need to be an iommu_fwspec_free() any more, just an iommu_fwspec_put() that releases the reference from iommu_fwspec_get(), and so on. Having thought it through this far, though, there are some fiddly bits, and it worries me that it might be getting too complex for a quick fix, where the real problem is that the concurrency shouldn't exist in the first place.

Is just bodging dev_iommu_free() into a more sensible order enough to hide the problem for now? Strictly it might want a memory barrier in there, but memory ordering is not what I want to be thinking about at dinnertime on a Friday :)
