Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hns3: fix kernel crash when uninstalling driver
When the driver is uninstalled and the VF is disabled concurrently, a
kernel crash occurs. The reason is that the two actions call function
pci_disable_sriov(). The num_VFs is checked to determine whether to
release the corresponding resources. During the second calling, num_VFs
is not 0 and the resource release function is called. However, the
corresponding resource has been released during the first invoking.
Therefore, the problem occurs:
[15277.839633][T50670] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000020

rmmod hclge disable VFs
----------------------------------------------------
hclge_exit() sriov_numvfs_store()
... device_lock()
pci_disable_sriov() hns3_pci_sriov_configure()
pci_disable_sriov()
sriov_disable()
sriov_disable() if !num_VFs :
if !num_VFs : return;
return; sriov_del_vfs()
sriov_del_vfs() ...
... klist_put()
klist_put() ...
... num_VFs = 0;
num_VFs = 0; device_unlock();
In this patch, when driver is removing, we get the device_lock()
to protect num_VFs, just like sriov_numvfs_store().
