Subject: Drivers: hv: utils: fix crash when device is removed from host side
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9420098adc50a88d4a441e0f92d54bfa7af44448;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

Drivers: hv: utils: fix crash when device is removed from host side

The crash is observed when a service is being disabled host side while
userspace daemon is connected to the device:

[   90.244859] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP

...

The problem is that hvutil_transport_destroy() which does misc_deregister()
freeing the appropriate device is reachable by two paths: module unload
and from util_remove(). While module unload path is protected by .owner in
struct file_operations util_remove() path is not. Freeing the device while
someone holds an open fd for it is a show stopper.

In general, it is not possible to revoke an fd from all users so the only
way to solve the issue is to defer freeing the hvutil_transport structure.
