patch "firmware_loader: fix use-after-free in firmware_fallback_sysfs" added to driver-core-linus

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    firmware_loader: fix use-after-free in firmware_fallback_sysfs

to my driver-core git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git
in the driver-core-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: firmware_loader: fix use-after-free in firmware_fallback_sysfs

This use-after-free happens when a fw_priv object has been freed but
hasn't been removed from the pending list (pending_fw_head). The next
time fw_load_sysfs_fallback tries to insert into the list, it ends up
accessing the pending_list member of the previously freed fw_priv.

The root cause here is that all code paths that abort the fw load
don't delete it from the pending list. For example:

        _request_firmware()
          -> fw_abort_batch_reqs()
              -> fw_state_aborted()

To fix this, delete the fw_priv from the list in __fw_set_state() if
the new state is DONE or ABORTED. This way, all aborts will remove
the fw_priv from the list. Accordingly, remove calls to list_del_init
that were being made before calling fw_state_(aborted|done).

Also, in fw_load_sysfs_fallback, don't add the fw_priv to the pending
list if it is already aborted. Instead, just jump out and return early.
