Re: [RESEND PATCH] media: mtk-jpeg: Fix use after free bug due to uncanceled work

Hi Kyrie,

After reviewing the code, I found anothe possible code path. As I am
not familiar with the module. It has high possibility it's wrong.
Could please help me check this? Very much appreciated for your
valuable time.

In summary, mtk_jpegdec_worker was set in mtk_jpeg_open and started in
mtk_jpeg_multicore_dec_device_run, which made it running on cpu1.
Inside the mtk_jpeg_multicore_dec_device_run, it will call
schedule_delayed_work to start the timeout_work, which will make it
running on cpu2. Meanwhile, we can call
mtk_jpeg_release to cancel the job. But there might be a race between
mtk_jpegdec_worker and v4l2_m2m_cancel_job. It may call
v4l2_m2m_job_finish too early to wake up the event.
The remove will go on, the other race is as described earlier.

cpu0 cpu1 cpu2
(1)->device_run
mtk_jpeg_multicore
_dec_device_run
queue_work
(jpeg->workqueue,
&ctx->jpeg_work);
(2)mtk_jpegdec_worker
(3)mtk_jpeg_release
v4l2_m2m_cancel_job
wait event

schedule_delayed_work
(4)mtk_jpeg_job_timeout_work
(5)v4l2_m2m_job_finish
wake up
(6)mtk_jpeg_remove
v4l2_m2m_release
kfree(m2m_dev)
(7)v4l2_m2m_get_curr_priv
