Subject: [PATCH 08/12] vdpa: use generic driver_override infrastructure
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 01:59:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324005919.2408620-9-dakr@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260324005919.2408620-1-dakr@kernel.org>
When a driver is probed through __driver_attach(), the bus' match()
callback is called without the device lock held, thus accessing the
driver_override field without a lock, which can cause a UAF.
Fix this by using the driver-core driver_override infrastructure taking
care of proper locking internally.
Note that calling match() from __driver_attach() without the device lock
held is intentional. [1]

Reported-by: Gui-Dong Han <hanguidong02@gmail.com>
Closes: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220789
Fixes: 539fec78edb4 ("vdpa: add driver_override support")
