[PATCH] input : avoid too late kobject_uevent(KOBJ_REMOVE) call

From: Tetsuo Handa
Date: Mon Feb 18 2019 - 05:11:05 EST


syzbot is hitting use-after-free bug in uinput module [1]. This is because
kobject_uevent(KOBJ_REMOVE) is called again due to commit 0f4dafc0563c6c49
("Kobject: auto-cleanup on final unref") after memory allocation fault
injection made kobject_uevent(KOBJ_REMOVE) from device_del() from
input_unregister_device() fail, while uinput_destroy_device() is expecting
that kobject_uevent(KOBJ_REMOVE) is not called after device_del() from
input_unregister_device() completed.

Fix this problem by pretending as if kobject_uevent(KOBJ_REMOVE) from
device_del() from input_unregister_device() did not fail.
