[PATCH v2 1/1] Bluetooth: fix race condition in hidp_session_thread

From: Min Li
Date: Sat Mar 04 2023 - 09:25:18 EST


There is a potential race condition in hidp_session_thread that may
lead to use-after-free. For instance, the timer is active while
hidp_del_timer is called in hidp_session_thread(). After hidp_session_put,
then 'session' will be freed, causing kernel panic when hidp_idle_timeout
is running.

The solution is to use del_timer_sync instead of del_timer.

Here is the call trace:

call_timer_fn+0x2d/0x1e0
__run_timers.part.0+0x569/0x940
