[PATCH 1/2] misc: fastrpc: fix NULL rpdev dereference when session alloc fails

[Vinayak Katoch]

When a fastrpc client process dies abnormally without closing its file
descriptor, fastrpc_device_release() is never called and the compute-cb
session slot is never freed. The abnormal client death on the DSP side
triggers a glink channel teardown which propagates up through the rpmsg
bus and calls fastrpc_rpmsg_remove().

fastrpc_rpmsg_remove() nulls cctx->rpdev before calling
misc_deregister(). If a concurrent open() enters fastrpc_device_open()
in this window and fastrpc_session_alloc() returns NULL (sessions
exhausted by the leaked slot), the error path dereferences
cctx->rpdev->dev causing a NULL pointer dereference:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000
  pc : fastrpc_device_open+0x1b8/0x258 [fastrpc]
  Call trace:
   fastrpc_device_open+0x1b8/0x258 [fastrpc] (P)
   misc_open+0xd8/0x1a0

Fix by moving misc_deregister() before rpdev = NULL. misc_open() and
misc_deregister() both take misc_mtx, so misc_deregister() will either
block until fastrpc_device_open() completes or prevent new opens from
entering it entirely.
