[PATCH v3 0/2] gpiolib: don't allow user-space to crash the kernel with hot-unplugs

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

This is a second iteration of the changes that aim at fixing the situation
in which the user-space can provoke a NULL-pointer derefence in the kernel
when a GPIO device that's in use by user-space is removed.

I didn't add the review tags as the code changes significantly.

v2 -> v3:
- drop the helper variable in patch 1/2 as we won't be using it in 2/2
- refactor patch 2/2 to use locking wrappers around the syscall callbacks

v1 -> v2:
- add missing gdev->chip checks in patch 1/2
- add a second patch that protects the structures that can be accessed
  by user-space calls against concurrent removal

[PATCH v3 1/2] gpiolib: cdev: fix NULL-pointer dereferences

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

There are several places where we can crash the kernel by requesting
lines, unbinding the GPIO device, then calling any of the system calls
relevant to the GPIO character device's annonymous file descriptors:
ioctl(), read(), poll().

While I observed it with the GPIO simulator, it will also happen for any
of the GPIO devices that can be hot-unplugged - for instance any HID GPIO
expander (e.g. CP2112).

This affects both v1 and v2 uAPI.

This fixes it partially by checking if gdev->chip is not NULL but it
doesn't entirely remedy the situation as we still have a race condition
in which another thread can remove the device after the check.

Fixes: d7c51b47ac11 ("gpio: userspace ABI for reading/writing GPIO lines")
Fixes: 3c0d9c635ae2 ("gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_GET_LINE_IOCTL and GPIO_V2_LINE_GET_VALUES_IOCTL")

[PATCH v3 2/2] gpiolib: protect the GPIO device against being dropped while in use by user-space

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

While any of the GPIO cdev syscalls is in progress, the kernel can call
gpiochip_remove() (for instance, when a USB GPIO expander is disconnected)
which will set gdev->chip to NULL after which any subsequent access will
cause a crash.

To avoid that: use an RW-semaphore in which the syscalls take it for
reading (so that we don't needlessly prohibit the user-space from calling
syscalls simultaneously) while gpiochip_remove() takes it for writing so
that it can only happen once all syscalls return.

Fixes: d7c51b47ac11 ("gpio: userspace ABI for reading/writing GPIO lines")
Fixes: 3c0d9c635ae2 ("gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_GET_LINE_IOCTL and GPIO_V2_LINE_GET_VALUES_IOCTL")
Fixes: aad955842d1c ("gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_GET_LINEINFO_IOCTL and GPIO_V2_GET_LINEINFO_WATCH_IOCTL")

I would do

typedef __poll_t (*poll_fn)(struct file *, struct poll_table_struct *);

and so on and use that one in the respective parameters.

BUT. Since it's a fix, up to you which one to choose.

FWIW, the typedef looks cleaner to me too.
