Dear Greg, Dear Sasha,

please consider applying the patch below to v4.9-stable.

It is a backport of upstream commit 794aaf01444d, which has already been applied to all stable kernels going back to v4.14.

Thanks!

From: "William A. Kennington III" wak@google.com Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2021 02:55:27 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] spi: Fix use-after-free with devm_spi_alloc_*

commit 794aaf01444d4e765e2b067cba01cc69c1c68ed9 upstream.

We can't rely on the contents of the devres list during spi_unregister_controller(), as the list is already torn down at the time we perform devres_find() for devm_spi_release_controller. This causes devices registered with devm_spi_alloc_{master,slave}() to be mistakenly identified as legacy, non-devm managed devices and have their reference counters decremented below 0.

Instead, determine the devm allocation state as a flag on the controller which is guaranteed to be stable during cleanup.
