[PATCH] tee: avoid accessing dma-buf shared memory after put
From: Hongyan Xu
Date: Thu Aug 06 2026 - 02:10:15 EST
param_from_user_memref() obtains a temporary reference to the dma-buf
tee_shm wrapper by ID. If closing the shared-memory file descriptor races
with the ioctl, this temporary reference can be the wrapper's last one.
tee_shm_put() then frees the enclosing tee_shm_dmabuf_ref, but the function
still reads ref->parent_shm and ref->offset afterwards.
Save the parent pointer and offset before dropping the wrapper reference.
The additional parent reference keeps the parent shared memory alive for
the parameter list as before.
Fixes: 146bf4e75eca ("tee: new ioctl to a register tee_shm from a dmabuf file descriptor")
