nfc: pn533: Fix use-after-free bugs caused by pn532_cmd_timeout
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When the pn532 uart device is detaching, the pn532_uart_remove()
is called. But there are no functions in pn532_uart_remove() that
could delete the cmd_timeout timer, which will cause use-after-free
bugs. The process is shown below:

    (thread 1)                  |        (thread 2)
                                |  pn532_uart_send_frame
pn532_uart_remove               |    mod_timer(&pn532->cmd_timeout,...)
  ...                           |    (wait a time)
  kfree(pn532) //FREE           |    pn532_cmd_timeout
                                |      pn532_uart_send_frame
                                |        pn532->... //USE

This patch adds del_timer_sync() in pn532_uart_remove() in order to
prevent the use-after-free bugs. What's more, the pn53x_unregister_nfc()
is well synchronized, it sets nfc_dev->shutting_down to true and there
are no syscalls could restart the cmd_timeout timer.
