Subject: [PATCH v5 2/2] HID: multitouch: fix use-after-free of haptic data on delayed input release
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 10:55:16 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261016135516.2957381-3-qwe.aldo@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261016135516.2957381-1-qwe.aldo@gmail.com>
mt_probe() allocates td->haptic with devm_kzalloc() and hid_haptic_init()
stores it in ff->private. When the HID device is removed while an evdev
fd is still held, devres frees td->haptic at unbind but
hid_haptic_destroy() runs later from input_dev_release() and dereferences
the freed pointer. input_ff_destroy() then double-frees it via
kfree(ff->private).
Move all resource cleanup into a devm_add_action() callback so it runs
at unbind before devres frees the struct. hid_haptic_destroy() becomes
just ff->private = NULL, making the later kfree a no-op. The input
device is pinned with input_get_device() to prevent concurrent release
during the devres action; the workqueue is drained first while all
buffers are still live.
Fixes: 8d0bf7908b5a ("HID: multitouch: add haptic multitouch support")
