[PATCH 4.14 161/165] rtc: rk808: fix possible race condition

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu May 24 2018 - 05:05:47 EST


4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexandre Belloni <alexandre.belloni@xxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 201fac95e799c3d0304ec724d555e1251b9f6e84 ]

The probe function is not allowed to fail after registering the RTC because
the following may happen:

CPU0: CPU1:
sys_load_module()
do_init_module()
do_one_initcall()
cmos_do_probe()
rtc_device_register()
__register_chrdev()
cdev->owner = struct module*
open("/dev/rtc0")
rtc_device_unregister()
module_put()
free_module()
module_free(mod->module_core)
/* struct module *module is now
freed */
chrdev_open()
spin_lock(cdev_lock)
cdev_get()
try_module_get()
module_is_live()
/* dereferences already
freed struct module* */

Switch to devm_rtc_allocate_device/rtc_register_device to register the rtc
as late as possible.
