Subject: [PATCH 8/9] w1: w1_therm: lock the list of slaves for the bulk read
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 17:04:41 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027-llm-char-misc-w1-v1-8-d2e6bfafb6a4@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261027-llm-char-misc-w1-v1-0-d2e6bfafb6a4@linuxfoundation.org>
From: Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com>
The callbacks of the file therm_bulk_read walk the list of the slaves of
the master, trigger_bulk_read() three times and therm_bulk_read_show()
once, without the list_mutex which protects it. In the meantime the
thread of the master may find out that a sensor has gone:
write to therm_bulk_read w1_process()
trigger_bulk_read() w1_slave_detach()
list_for_each_entry(sl, ...) w1_unref_slave()
bulk_read_slave(sl) list_del()
w1_therm_remove_slave()
kfree(sl->family_data)
kfree(sl)
SLAVE_CONVERT_TRIGGERED(sl) = 1
The walk reads, and writes to, memory which has been freed, and follows
the poisoned list pointers.
Take list_mutex around each of the four walks. No pointer to a slave is
kept from one walk to the next.
This could not be done as long as w1_unref_slave() held the mutex while
it waited, in w1_therm_remove_slave(), for these very callbacks and for
the readers of the sensor, who need the bus_mutex which
trigger_bulk_read() holds around its second walk. Now nothing is waited
for with list_mutex held, and none of the other mutexes of the subsystem
is taken under it, so it can be nested inside bus_mutex.
Fixes: 57c76221d5af ("w1_therm: adding bulk read support to trigger multiple conversion on bus")
