Subject: [PATCH v2] btrfs: remove devid kobject when deleting a missing device
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2026 03:51:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261026105109.1148939-1-teel4res@gmail.com> (raw)
btrfs_rm_device() removes the sysfs device entry only when
device->bdev_file is non-NULL. A missing device (created by
add_missing_dev() for an absent disk) has bdev_file == NULL, but
btrfs_sysfs_add_device() still registers its devid kobject under
/sys/fs/btrfs/<uuid>/devinfo/<devid>.
When such a device is deleted, btrfs_free_device() frees the
btrfs_device while the devid kobject remains registered. The kobject
is embedded in the freed btrfs_device and its show functions use
container_of() to reach it, so reading any devinfo attribute is a
use-after-free:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in sysfs_kf_seq_show+0x157/0x490
Read of size 8 at addr ffff88801d8172a8 by task poc/9385
...
Freed by task 9385:
kfree
btrfs_rm_device+0x11ee/0x17b0
btrfs_ioctl_rm_dev+0x265/0x400
Allocated by task 9390:
btrfs_alloc_device+0x7e/0x400
device_list_add
btrfs_scan_one_device
btrfs_control_ioctl
The freed object is kmalloc-1k and the faulting access is 680 bytes
inside it (offsetof(struct btrfs_device, devid_kobj) = 640 plus
offsetof(struct kobject, ktype) = 40), confirming the embedded
devid_kobj.
btrfs_sysfs_remove_device() already skips the block-device link when
device->bdev is NULL and only touches the devid kobject when it is
initialized. Call it for missing devices too.
