[ Upstream commit a1af6a2bfa0cb46d70b7df5352993e750da6c79b ]
Commit 2810c1e99867 ("kunit: Fix wild-memory-access bug in kunit_free_suite_set()") fixed a wild-memory-access bug that could have happened during the loading phase of test suites built and executed as loadable modules. However, it also introduced a problematic side effect that causes test suites modules to crash when they attempt to register fake devices.
When a module is loaded, it traverses the MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED and MODULE_STATE_COMING states before reaching the normal operating state MODULE_STATE_LIVE. Finally, when the module is removed, it moves to MODULE_STATE_GOING before being released. However, if the loading function load_module() fails between complete_formation() and do_init_module(), the module goes directly from MODULE_STATE_COMING to MODULE_STATE_GOING without passing through MODULE_STATE_LIVE.
This behavior was causing kunit_module_exit() to be called without having first executed kunit_module_init(). Since kunit_module_exit() is responsible for freeing the memory allocated by kunit_module_init() through kunit_filter_suites(), this behavior was resulting in a wild-memory-access bug.
Commit 2810c1e99867 ("kunit: Fix wild-memory-access bug in kunit_free_suite_set()") fixed this issue by running the tests when the module is still in MODULE_STATE_COMING. However, modules in that state are not fully initialized, lacking sysfs kobjects. Therefore, if a test module attempts to register a fake device, it will inevitably crash.
This patch proposes a different approach to fix the original wild-memory-access bug while restoring the normal module execution flow by making kunit_module_exit() able to detect if kunit_module_init() has previously initialized the tests suite set. In this way, test modules can once again register fake devices without crashing.
This behavior is achieved by checking whether mod->kunit_suites is a virtual or direct mapping address. If it is a virtual address, then kunit_module_init() has allocated the suite_set in kunit_filter_suites() using kmalloc_array(). On the contrary, if mod->kunit_suites is still pointing to the original address that was set when looking up the .kunit_test_suites section of the module, then the loading phase has failed and there's no memory to be freed.
v4: - rebased on 6.8 - noted that kunit_filter_suites() must return a virtual address v3: - add a comment to clarify why the start address is checked v2: - add include <linux/mm.h>
