Subject: [PATCH v3] drm/panthor: Fix UAF race between device unplug and FW event processing
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 15:02:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251027140217.121274-1-ketil.johnsen@arm.com> (raw)
The function panthor_fw_unplug() will free the FW memory sections.
The problem is that there could still be pending FW events which are yet
not handled at this point. process_fw_events_work() can in this case try
to access said freed memory.
Simply call disable_work_sync() to both drain and prevent future
invocation of process_fw_events_work().
Signed-off-by: Ketil Johnsen <ketil.johnsen@arm.com>
Fixes: de85488138247 ("drm/panthor: Add the scheduler logical block")
---
v2:
- Followed Boris's advice and handle the race purely within the
scheduler block (by adding a destroyed state)
v3:
- New approach, one single call to disable_work_sync()
