[PATCH] drivers/scsi/qla2xxx: fix double free bug after firmware timeout

From: Max Kellermann
Date: Thu Dec 07 2017 - 09:54:42 EST


When the qla2xxx firmware is unavailable, eventually
qla2x00_sp_timeout() is reached, which calls the timeout function and
frees the srb_t instance.

The timeout function always resolves to qla2x00_async_iocb_timeout(),
which invokes another callback function called "done". All of these
qla2x00_*_sp_done() callbacks also free the srb_t instance; after
returning to qla2x00_sp_timeout(), it is freed again.

The fix is to remove the "sp->free(sp)" call from qla2x00_sp_timeout()
and add it to those code paths in qla2x00_async_iocb_timeout() which
do not already free the object.

This is how it looks like with KASAN:

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in qla2x00_sp_timeout+0x228/0x250
Read of size 8 at addr ffff88278147a590 by task swapper/2/0

Allocated by task 1502:

kasan_kmalloc+0xa0/0xd0
kmem_cache_alloc+0xb8/0x1c0
mempool_alloc+0xd6/0x260
qla24xx_async_gnl+0x3c5/0x1100

Freed by task 0:

kmem_cache_free+0x75/0x200
qla24xx_async_gnl_sp_done+0x556/0x9e0

qla2x00_sp_timeout+0x16d/0x250
call_timer_fn+0x36/0x200

The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff88278147a440
which belongs to the cache qla2xxx_srbs of size 344
The buggy address is located 336 bytes inside of
344-byte region [ffff88278147a440, ffff88278147a598)
