Subject: [PATCH v1 0/3] misc: fastrpc: fix UAF and Oops around SSR teardown
Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2026 16:44:44 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261007084447.922-1-jianping.li@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
On Hamoa (X1E80100) IoT EVK the ADSP can restart repeatedly, and every
restart has a chance of taking the kernel down with it:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fffffdffc1ffffc0
Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000006
CPU: 5 UID: 0 PID: 2766 Comm: adsprpcd
pc : ___free_pages+0x24/0xe0
Call trace:
___free_pages
__free_pages
__dma_direct_free_pages
dma_direct_free
dma_free_attrs
fastrpc_context_free [fastrpc]
fastrpc_internal_invoke [fastrpc]
fastrpc_device_ioctl [fastrpc]
The faulting address decodes to a struct page for a PFN that has no
vmemmap backing. It comes from dma_free_coherent() being called against
a qcom,fastrpc-compute-cb device that of_platform_depopulate() has
already unbound: with the IOMMU torn down, the call falls through to
dma_direct_free(), which takes the buffer's IOVA for a physical address
and hands the resulting page to the page allocator.
fastrpc_rpmsg_remove() wakes every pending invoke with -EPIPE and then
immediately depopulates the context banks, with no synchronisation in
between, so woken threads race the teardown on their way to
fastrpc_context_free().
The series is ordered so each patch stands on its own:
1/3 is an independent probe-time bug found while debugging this: the
misc device is exposed before the channel refcount is initialised,
so an open() racing probe hits "refcount_t: addition on 0".
2/3 makes fastrpc_notify_users() wake poll-mode waiters, which today
keep spinning on a buffer the teardown is about to reclaim.
3/3 counts in-flight invokes and drains them before touching any
channel resource.

device
