Subject: [PATCH] drm: Lock pointer access in drm_master_release()

This patch eliminates the following smatch warning:
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_auth.c:320 drm_master_release() warn: unlocked access 'master' (line 318) expected lock '&dev->master_mutex'

The 'file_priv->master' field should be protected by the mutex lock to
'&dev->master_mutex'. This is because other processes can concurrently
modify this field and free the current 'file_priv->master'
pointer. This could result in a use-after-free error when 'master' is
dereferenced in subsequent function calls to
'drm_legacy_lock_master_cleanup()' or to 'drm_lease_revoke()'.

An example of a scenario that would produce this error can be seen
from a similar bug in 'drm_getunique()' that was reported by Syzbot:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=148d2f1dfac64af52ffd27b661981a540724f803

In the Syzbot report, another process concurrently acquired the
device's master mutex in 'drm_setmaster_ioctl()', then overwrote
'fpriv->master' in 'drm_new_set_master()'. The old value of
'fpriv->master' was subsequently freed before the mutex was unlocked.

Thanks a lot. I've done an audit of this code, and I found another
potential problem in drm_is_current_master. The callers from drm_auth.c
hold the dev->master_mutex, but all the external ones dont. I think we
need to split this into a _locked function for use within drm_auth.c, and
the exported one needs to grab the dev->master_mutex while it's checking
master status. Ofc there will still be races, those are ok, but right now
we run the risk of use-after free problems in drm_lease_owner.

Are you up to do that fix too?

I think the drm_lease.c code also needs an audit, there we'd need to make
sure that we hold hold either the lock or a full master reference to avoid
the use-after-free issues here.

Patch merged to drm-misc-fixes with cc: stable.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the pointer, I'm definitely up for it!

I'd be happy to look into drm_lease.c as well.

From what I can see, there are other places in the kernel that could
use the _locked version of drm_is_current_master as well, such as
drm_mode_getfb in drm_framebuffer.c. I'll take a closer look, and if the
changes make sense I'll prepare a patch series for them.

Best wishes,

Oh maybe we have a naming confusion: the _locked is the one where the
caller must grab the lock already, whereas drm_is_current_master would
grab the master_mutex internally to do the check. The one in
drm_framebuffer.c looks like it'd need the internal one since there's no
other need to grab the master_mutex.

Note that some code does acquire the mutex via
drm_master_internal_acquire - so we should be careful.
As mentioned elsewhere - having a _locked version of
drm_is_current_master sounds good.

Might as well throw a lockdep_assert_held_once in there just in case :-P

Happy to help review the follow-up patches.

Thanks for the advice, Emil!

I did a preliminary check on the code that calls
drm_master_internal_acquire in drm_client_modeset.c and drm_fb_helper.c,
and it doesn't seem like they eventually call drm_is_current_master. So
we should be good on that front.

lockdep_assert_held_once sounds good :)

Best wishes,
Desmond
