Subject: [PATCH v3] brcmfmac: prevent double-free on hardware-reset.

Subject: [PATCH v3] brcmfmac: prevent double-free on hardware-reset.

In case of buggy firmware, brcmfmac may perform a hardware reset. If during
reset and subsequent probing an early failure occurs, a memory region is
accidentally double-freed. With hardened memory allocation enabled, this error
will be detected.

- return early where appropriate to skip unnecessary clean-up.
- set '.freezer' pointer to NULL to prevent double-freeing under possible
other circumstances and to re-align result under various different
behaviors of memory allocation freeing.

Given a firmware crash, function 'brcmf_sdio_bus_reset' is called. It calls
'brcmf_sdiod_remove', then follows up with 'brcmf_sdiod_probe' to reinitialize
the hardware. If 'brcmf_sdiod_probe' fails to "set F1 blocksize", it exits
early, which includes calling 'brcmf_sdiod_remove'. In both cases
'brcmf_sdiod_freezer_detach' is called to free allocated '.freezer', which
has not yet been re-allocated the second time.

For testing you can also trigger the brcmf_sdio_bus_reset() through debugfs:

# cd /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phyX
# echo 1 > reset

So I did that without your patch and observed following:

[ 531.481045] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdiod_probe: Failed to set F1 blocksize

[ 531.487314] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_bus_reset: Failed to probe after
sdio device
reset: ret -123

[ 531.495893] mmc0: card 0001 removed

[ 531.550567] mmc0: new high speed SDIO card at address 0001

[ 531.556561] brcmfmac: F1 signature read @0x18000000=0x16044330

So I looked in brcmf_sdio_bus_reset() and noticed that this function
actually does a call to mmc_hw_reset() which is what I suggested
earlier. Looking at this log it seems the actual remove and subsequent
rescan is a deferred work and it will take care of probing the driver anew.

So I changed debug message level for the sdio ops and then I see:

[ 1327.686828] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdiod_probe: Failed to set F1 blocksize

[ 1327.693091] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_bus_reset: Failed to probe after
sdio device
reset: ret -123

[ 1327.701626] brcmfmac: brcmf_ops_sdio_remove Enter

[ 1327.706333] brcmfmac: brcmf_ops_sdio_remove Function: 1

[ 1327.730768] mmc0: card 0001 removed

[ 1327.785458] mmc0: new high speed SDIO card at address 0001

[ 1327.791068] brcmfmac: brcmf_ops_sdio_probe Enter

[ 1327.795687] brcmfmac: brcmf_ops_sdio_probe Function#: 1

[ 1327.800988] brcmfmac: brcmf_ops_sdio_probe Enter

[ 1327.811317] brcmfmac: F1 signature read @0x18000000=0x16044330

So to me it seems mmc_hw_reset() is doing everything we need and we can
make brcmf_sdio_bus_reset() a bit simpler. The only scary part here is
that brcmf_ops_sdio_remove() is called first for func1 and then for
func2. Upon rmmod this is different, ie. first func2 and then func1.
Looking at the implementation in brcmf_ops_sdio_remove() it means we run
into use-after-free upon mmc_hw_reset().

Arend

This works. I have done a few resets in a loop to see if the hardware keeps
recovering and no other issues occur. Everything seems to be fine.

I can confirm that this works. This is helpful.

I have looked into this. The logic itself protects from duplicate behavior
(at least partially) by checking which func is being removed. However,
irq-releases are duplicated because the check only happens after that logic.
This is also necessary, because the kernel warns if the irq isn't released
after executing the callback.

In the next patch (prefixed "PATCH v4", already sent), I have slightly
adjusted the control flow such that irq-release happens for each func
-- as per expectation -- while the removal logic remains rooted at func1,
but executed based on the full device (`sdiodev` as function arg). This
should, IIUC, be correct regardless of function order.

This solution isn't a perfect redesign, but should respect both the design
itself and also sdio driver expectations.

Please find the patch at: g_Py6bM1lfcJOWWmHwKU8x4tCFrTRdgFtoM13qYHeN441F392j_6etJnEJ8gHJMRZ6OEKxpJYuP45x3iziHqY6HNXnVwIiyvJLYjvzxT0Xk=%20()%20dannyvanheumen%20!%20nl
