Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 03/11] rust: miscdevice: fix use after free because missing .owner
Date: Tue, 06 Jan 2026 18:11:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260106-this_module_fix-v2-3-842ac026f00b@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260106-this_module_fix-v2-0-842ac026f00b@gmail.com>
Currently if miscdevice driver is compiled as module it can cause use
after free when unloading. To reproduce problem with Rust sample driver
we can do:
tail -f /dev/rust-misc-device
# And same time as device is open
sudo rmmod rust_misc_device_module
This will crash system. Fix is to have .owner field filled with module
information. We pass this owner information through vtable.
Reported-by: Youseok Yang <ileixe@gmail.com>
Closes: https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/issues/1182
Fixes: f893691e7426 ("rust: miscdevice: add base miscdevice abstraction")
