[PATCH 1/6] driver core: Fix DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_SUPPLIER device link flag handling

From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Thu Jan 24 2019 - 06:25:24 EST


From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

First, if the kref_put() in device_links_driver_cleanup() added by
commit 1689cac5b32a ("driver core: Add flag to autoremove device
link on supplier unbind") actually causes the link object to be
freed, the subsequent attempt to change the state of the link
can crash the kernel, so avoid it by changing the state of the link
before attempting to drop it. Use the observation that the original
state of the link can be changed to "dormant" whatever it is, because
the link becomes, in fact, dormant at that point.

Second, change the list walk in device_links_driver_cleanup() to
a safe one to avoid use-after-free when dropping a link from the list
during the walk.

Finally, while at it, fix device_link_add() to refuse to create
stateless device links with DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_SUPPLIER set, which is
an invalid combination (setting that flag means that the driver core
should manage the link, so it cannot be stateless), and extend the
kerneldoc comment of device_link_add() to cover the
DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_SUPPLIER flag properly too.
