Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vc4: drain the hangcheck timer and works on V3D unbind
Nothing stops the hangcheck timer that submitted jobs arm, or the
job_done_work that the render-done interrupt queues, at teardown:
vc4_irq_disable() cancels only overflow_mem_work, and vc4_gem_destroy()
runs from the drm-managed release, after vc4_v3d_unbind() has already
uninstalled the V3D interrupt and cleared vc4->v3d. A timer still armed
by then reads V3D registers through the NULL vc4->v3d pointer, and the
late callbacks run on the vc4_dev embedding them after it has been
freed.
Drain them in vc4_v3d_unbind(): shut the timer down and cancel
reset_work before the interrupt is taken down, because its
vc4_irq_reset() re-enables it, then flush job_done_work so that
completions queued at teardown still release their jobs.
This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.
