[PATCH v2] Input: uinput: Avoid Object-Already-Free with a global lock

From: Mukesh Ojha
Date: Wed Apr 10 2019 - 03:59:53 EST


uinput_destroy_device() gets called from two places. In one place,
uinput_ioctl_handler() where it is protected under a lock
udev->mutex but there is no protection on udev device from freeing
inside uinput_release().

This can result in Object-Already-Free case where uinput parent
device already got freed while a child being inserted inside it.
That result in a double free case for parent while kernfs_put()
being done for child in a failure path of adding a node.

So, avoid the race by taking a global lock inside uinput_release().

Also, if this looks good we can further use this global lock inside
read/write in separate patches and release can happen at any time.

Changes from v1->v2:
- Mistakenly added udev lock replaced by global lock.
