From 9594b5be7ec110ed11acec58fa94f3f293668c85 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Mon, 7 May 2018 19:11:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] tty/serial: atmel: use port->name as name in request_irq() I was puzzled while looking at /proc/interrupts and random things showed up between reboots. This occurred more often but I realised it later. The "correct" output should be: |38: 11861 atmel-aic5 2 Level ttyS0 but I saw sometimes |38: 6426 atmel-aic5 2 Level tty1 and accounted it wrongly as correct. This is use after free and the former example randomly got the "old" pointer which pointed to the same content. With SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM and HARDENED I even got |38: 7067 atmel-aic5 2 Level E=Started User Manager for UID 0 or other nonsense. As it turns out the tty, pointer that is accessed in atmel_startup(), is freed() before atmel_shutdown(). It seems to happen quite often that the tty for ttyS0 is allocated and freed while ->shutdown is not invoked. I don't do anything special - just a systemd boot :) Use dev_name(&pdev->dev) as the IRQ name for request_irq(). This exists as long as the driver is loaded so no use-after-free here.
