Subject: [PATCH] um: Add winch to winch_handlers before registering winch IRQ

From: Roberto Sassu <[email protected]>

Registering a winch IRQ is racy, an interrupt may occur before the winch is
added to the winch_handlers list.

If that happens, register_winch_irq() adds to that list a winch that is
scheduled to be (or has already been) freed, causing a panic later in
winch_cleanup().

Avoid the race by adding the winch to the winch_handlers list before
registering the IRQ, and rolling back if um_request_irq() fails.

Fixes: 42a359e31a0e ("uml: SIGIO support cleanup")

I see that before that commit there was the same ordering (list_add()
before um_request_irq()).

Failure from um_request_irq() should not result in executing
winch_interrupt() which could call list_del() itself. Then, it should
be fine to delete the winch in the error path.

Richard, did you have time to look at this?

Thanks
