pseries/papr-hvpipe: Fix null ptr deref in papr_hvpipe_dev_create_handle()
commit 1b9f7aa upstream.
commit 6d3789d ("papr-hvpipe: convert papr_hvpipe_dev_create_handle() to FD_PREPARE()"),
changed the create handle to FD_PREPARE(), but it caused kernel
null-ptr-deref because after call to retain_and_null_ptr(src_info),
src_info is re-used for adding it to the global list.
Getting the following kernel panic in papr_hvpipe_dev_create_handle()
when trying to add src_info to the list.
Kernel attempted to write user page (0) - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)
BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference on write at 0x00000000
Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000001b44a0
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
...
Call Trace:
papr_hvpipe_dev_ioctl+0x1f4/0x48c (unreliable)
sys_ioctl+0x528/0x1064
system_call_exception+0x128/0x360
system_call_vectored_common+0x15c/0x2ec
Now, the error handling with FD_PREPARE's file cleanup and __free(kfree) auto
cleanup is getting too convoluted. This is mainly because we need to
ensure only 1 user get the srcID handle. To simplify this, we allocate
prepare the src_info in the beginning and add it to the global list
under a spinlock after checking that no duplicates exist.
This simplify the error handling where if the FD_ADD fails, we can
simply remove the src_info from the list and consume any pending msg in
hvpipe to be cleared, after src_info became visible in the global list.
