[PATCH] misc: hpilo: Fix use after free bug in ilo_remove due to race condition with ilo_open

From: Zheng Wang
Date: Mon Apr 17 2023 - 12:53:17 EST


A race condition may occur if the user physically removes the ilo device
while calling ilo_open.

If we remove the driver which will call ilo_remove to make cleanup, there
is no guarantee to make sure there's no more ilo_open invoking.

The possible sequence is as follows:

Fix it by adding a refcount check to ilo_remove() function to free the
"ilo_hwinfo " structure after the last file is closed.

CPU0 CPU1

|ilo_open
ilo_remove |
kfree(ilo_hw) |
//free |
|hw = container_of(ip->i_cdev,
|struct ilo_hwinfo, cdev);
|hw->ccb_alloc[slot]
|//use
