[PATCH v2] genirq: Fix uaf issue in irq_find_at_or_after

From: dicken . ding
Date: Fri May 24 2024 - 05:20:06 EST


irq_find_at_or_after() is at the risk of use-after-free due to lack of
any locks. irq_find_at_or_after() dereferences the interrupt descriptor
which is returned by mt_find() while neither holding sparse_irq_lock nor
RCU read lock, which means the descriptor can be freed between mt_find()
and the deference. Here is an example::

CPU0 CPU1
mt_find()
delayed_free_desc()
irq_desc_get_irq()

The use-after-free issue is reported by KASAN, as shown in the following
log::

Guard the access with a RCU read lock section.

Changes since v1:
- Use guard(rcu)() to guard the access based on Thomas Gleixner's suggestion.
- Modify the commit message.
