Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] treewide: Convert buses to use generic driver_override
Date: Tue,  5 May 2026 15:37:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260505133935.3772495-1-dakr@kernel.org> (raw)

This is the follow-up of the driver_override generalization in [1], converting
the remaining 4 busses and removing the now-unused driver_set_override() helper.

All of them are prone to the potential UAF described in [2], caused by accessing
the driver_override field from their corresponding match() callback.

In order to address this, the generalized driver_override field in struct device
is protected with a spinlock. The driver-core provides accessors, such as
device_match_driver_override(), device_has_driver_override() and
device_set_driver_override(), which all ensure proper locking internally.

Additionally, the driver-core provides a driver_override flag in struct
bus_type, which, once enabled, automatically registers generic sysfs callbacks,
allowing userspace to modify the driver_override field.

This series is based on v7.1-rc1 with no additional dependencies, hence those
patches can be picked up by subsystems individually.

[3] https://gitlab.com/driverctl/driverctl/-/blob/0.121/driverctl?ref_type=tags#L99

Changes in v2:
  - Rebase on v7.1-rc1
  - Drop already merged patches
  - vmbus documentation changes as requested by Michael
