Hi Greg,
Here are some fixes in ngd-ctrl driver which can go for 7.1 release
Could you please queue these as 7.1 material.
Fixes include
- two use-after-free cases fixed by Anandu and Xiao.
- NULL pointer dereference fix
- DMA address corruption due to find_vma misuse
Thanks for all the help,
Srini

There is a race between fastrpc_device_release() and the workqueue
that processes DSP responses. When the user closes the file descriptor,
fastrpc_device_release() frees the fastrpc_user structure. Concurrently,
an in-flight DSP invocation can complete and fastrpc_rpmsg_callback()
schedules context cleanup via schedule_work(&ctx->put_work). If the
workqueue runs fastrpc_context_free() in parallel with or after
fastrpc_device_release() has freed the user structure, it dereferences
the freed fastrpc_user. Depending on the state of the context at the
time of the race, any one of the following accesses can be hit:
1. fastrpc_buf_free() calls fastrpc_ipa_to_dma_addr(buf->fl->cctx, ...)
to strip the SID bits from the stored IOVA before passing the
physical address to dma_free_coherent().
2. fastrpc_free_map() reads map->fl->cctx->vmperms[0].vmid to
reconstruct the source permission bitmask needed for the
qcom_scm_assign_mem() call that returns memory from the DSP VM
back to HLOS.
3. fastrpc_free_map() acquires map->fl->lock to safely remove the
map node from the fl->maps list.
The resulting use-after-free manifests as:
pc : fastrpc_buf_free+0x38/0x80 [fastrpc]
lr : fastrpc_context_free+0xa8/0x1b0 [fastrpc]
fastrpc_context_free+0xa8/0x1b0 [fastrpc]
fastrpc_context_put_wq+0x78/0xa0 [fastrpc]
process_one_work+0x180/0x450
worker_thread+0x26c/0x388
Add kref-based reference counting to fastrpc_user. Have each invoke
context take a reference on the user at allocation time and release it
when the context is freed. Release the initial reference in
fastrpc_device_release() at file close. Move the teardown of the user
structure — freeing pending contexts, maps, mmaps, and the channel
context reference — into the kref release callback fastrpc_user_free(),
so that it runs only when the last reference is dropped, regardless of
whether that happens at device close or after the final in-flight
context completes.

fastrpc_get_args() uses find_vma() to look up the VMA for a user-provided
pointer and compute a DMA address offset. When the address falls in a gap
before the returned VMA, (ptr & PAGE_MASK) - vma->vm_start underflows,
corrupting the DMA address sent to the DSP.
Replace find_vma() with vma_lookup(), which returns NULL when the address
is not contained within any VMA.

A NULL pointer dereference was observed on Hawi at boot when the DSP
sends a glink message before fastrpc_rpmsg_probe() has completed
initialization:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000178
pc : _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x34/0x8c
lr : fastrpc_rpmsg_callback+0x3c/0xcc [fastrpc]
...
Call trace:
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x34/0x8c (P)
fastrpc_rpmsg_callback+0x3c/0xcc [fastrpc]
qcom_glink_native_rx+0x538/0x6a4
qcom_glink_smem_intr+0x14/0x24 [qcom_glink_smem]
The faulting address 0x178 corresponds to the lock variable inside
struct fastrpc_channel_ctx, confirming that cctx is NULL when
fastrpc_rpmsg_callback() attempts to take the spinlock.
There are two issues here. First, dev_set_drvdata() is called before
spin_lock_init() and idr_init(), leaving a window where the callback
can retrieve a valid cctx pointer but operate on an uninitialized
spinlock. Second, the rpmsg channel becomes live as soon as the driver
is bound, so fastrpc_rpmsg_callback() can fire before dev_set_drvdata()
is called at all, resulting in dev_get_drvdata() returning NULL.
Fix both issues by moving all cctx initialization ahead of
dev_set_drvdata() so the structure is fully initialized before it
becomes visible to the callback, and add a NULL check in
fastrpc_rpmsg_callback() as a guard against any remaining window.

fastrpc_map_lookup returns a raw pointer after releasing fl->lock. The
caller fastrpc_map_create then calls fastrpc_map_get (kref_get_unless_zero)
on this unprotected pointer. A concurrent MEM_UNMAP can free the map
between the lock release and the kref operation, resulting in a
use-after-free on the freed slab object.
Restore the take_ref parameter to fastrpc_map_lookup so the reference
is acquired atomically under fl->lock before the pointer is exposed to
the caller.
