cctrng schedules two deferred works that dereference the driver data via
container_of(): compwork (cc_trng_compwork_handler) is queued from the
interrupt handler cc_isr() on an RNG completion interrupt, and startwork
(cc_trng_startwork_handler) is queued from the hwrng read path.
The driver data is allocated with devm_kzalloc() and nothing ever cancels
these works. On unbind, cctrng_remove() only runs the PM teardown, and
devres then releases the hwrng registration, the IRQ and finally the
driver data. free_irq() stops further interrupts but does not cancel a
work the handler has already queued, so a completion interrupt arriving
shortly before removal can leave compwork pending and have
cc_trng_compwork_handler() run against the freed cctrng_drvdata
(use-after-free). The hwrng core does not drain this driver-private work.
Register the works with devm_work_autocancel() instead of INIT_WORK().
They are set up before devm_request_irq() and devm_hwrng_register(), so on
unwind devres unregisters the hwrng and frees the IRQ first - after which
neither work can be scheduled any more - and then cancels the works while
the driver data is still valid. The handlers do not re-queue themselves,
so a single cancel drains them.
Found by static analysis and code review; not runtime-reproduced (needs
Arm CryptoCell TRNG hardware and a completion interrupt racing unbind).
