[PATCH] drm/i915: Fix potential context UAFs

[PATCH] drm/i915: Fix potential context UAFs

[Rob Clark]

From: Rob Clark <robdclark@chromium.org>

gem_context_register() makes the context visible to userspace, and which
point a separate thread can trigger the I915_GEM_CONTEXT_DESTROY ioctl.
So we need to ensure that nothing uses the ctx ptr after this.  And we
need to ensure that adding the ctx to the xarray is the *last* thing
that gem_context_register() does with the ctx pointer.

Have you seen that this hunk is needed or just moving it for a good measure? To be clear, it is probably best to move it even if the current placement cannot cause any problems, I am just double-checking if you had any concrete observations here while mulling over easier stable backports if we would omit it.

Otherwise userspace can look up a context which hasn't had it's reference count increased yep. I can add the Fixes: and Stable: tags while merging if no complaints.

It was a UAF bug that was reported to us

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1401594 (but I
guess security bugs are not going to be visible)

This was actually the originally reported issue, the
finalize_create_context_locked() part was something I found when the
original report prompted me to audit gem_context_register() call
paths.

I also agree with Tvrtko that we should add Stable: and Fixes:.

One little thing, "user after free" is clearer that UAF :)

Yeah I'll add them all when merging. Just waiting for full CI results. It will be like this:

Fixes: eb4dedae920a ("drm/i915/gem: Delay tracking the GEM context until it is registered")
Fixes: a4c1cdd34e2c ("drm/i915/gem: Delay context creation (v3)")
