[PATCH 1/1] drm/i915: fix race condition UAF in i915_perf_add_config_ioctl

From: Min Li
Date: Tue Mar 28 2023 - 05:37:26 EST


Userspace can guess the id value and try to race oa_config object creation
with config remove, resulting in a use-after-free if we dereference the
object after unlocking the metrics_lock. For that reason, unlocking the
metrics_lock must be done after we are done dereferencing the object.
