Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] USB: gadget: ffs: fix mm lifetime handling
Date: Mon, 01 Jun 2026 08:44:10 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260601-mm-uaf-fix-v2-1-3c942a707bce@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260601-mm-uaf-fix-v2-0-3c942a707bce@gmail.com>
From: Gabriel Prostitis <prostitisgabriel@gmail.com>
io_data stores a pointer to the submitting task's mm_struct,
but does not currently hold a reference to it while async
requests are pending.
This can result in a use-after-free if the task exits before
completion handling finishes.
Take a reference with mmgrab() when queuing the read request
and release it with mmdrop() on request completion.
