Subject: [PATCH v2 19/51] xtensa: simdisk: don't read the file name without the lock
Date: Wed,  4 Nov 2026 18:47:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104-work-procfs-bugfixes-v2-19-bbf7d5546809@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104-work-procfs-bugfixes-v2-0-bbf7d5546809@kernel.org>

proc_read_simdisk() looks at dev->filename without holding dev->lock. A
write to the same file detaches the disk and frees the name under the
lock, so a concurrent reader can copy out freed memory. Copy the name
with the lock held.

Fixes: b6c7e873daf7 ("xtensa: ISS: add host file-based simulated disk")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
