[PATCH 1/2] HID: uhid: Fix worker destroying device without any protection

[Jann Horn]

uhid has to run hid_add_device() from workqueue context while allowing
parallel use of the userspace API (which is protected with ->devlock).
But hid_add_device() can fail. Currently, that is handled by immediately
destroying the associated HID device, without using ->devlock - but if
there are concurrent requests from userspace, that's wrong and leads to
NULL dereferences and/or memory corruption (via use-after-free).

Fix it by leaving the HID device as-is in the worker. We can clean it up
later, either in the UHID_DESTROY command handler or in the ->release()
handler.

Notes:
    This crasher triggers an ASAN UAF warning:
    
    int main(void) {
      int dev = open("/dev/uhid", O_RDWR);
      if (dev == -1) err(1, "open");
    
      while (1) {
        struct uhid_event ev_create = {
          .type = UHID_CREATE2,
          /* choose vendor+product IDs that will be rejected by hid_add_device() */
          .u.create2 = { .rd_size = 1, .vendor = 0x07c0, .product = 0x1500 }
        };
        if (write(dev, &ev_create, sizeof(ev_create)) <= 0)
          err(1, "write CREATE");
    
        while (1) {
          struct uhid_event ev_input = {
            .type = UHID_INPUT2,
            .u.input2 = {
              .data = { 0xff },
              .size = 1
            }
          };
          int res = write(dev, &ev_input, sizeof(ev_input));
          if (res == -1 && errno == EINVAL)
            break;
        }
      }
    }
    
    It results in a splat like this:
