In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dax: Fix dax_mapping_release() use after free
A CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE test of removing a device-dax region provider (like modprobe -r dax_hmem) yields:
kobject: 'mapping0' (ffff93eb460e8800): kobject_release, parent 0000000000000000 (delayed 2000) [..] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(1) WARNING: CPU: 23 PID: 282 at kernel/locking/lockdep.c:232 __lock_acquire+0x9fc/0x2260 [..] RIP: 0010:__lock_acquire+0x9fc/0x2260 [..] Call Trace: <TASK> [..] lock_acquire+0xd4/0x2c0 ? ida_free+0x62/0x130 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x47/0x70 ? ida_free+0x62/0x130 ida_free+0x62/0x130 dax_mapping_release+0x1f/0x30 device_release+0x36/0x90 kobject_delayed_cleanup+0x46/0x150
Due to attempting ida_free() on an ida object that has already been freed. Devices typically only hold a reference on their parent while registered. If a child needs a parent object to complete its release it needs to hold a reference that it drops from its release callback. Arrange for a dax_mapping to pin its parent dev_dax instance until dax_mapping_release().
