From c18614a1a11276837bdd44403d84d207c9951538 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Shishkin Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2018 17:19:20 +0200 Subject: stm class: Fix a module refcount leak in policy creation error path Commit c7fd62bc69d0 ("stm class: Introduce framing protocol drivers") adds a bug into the error path of policy creation, that would do a module_put() on a wrong module, if one tried to create a policy for an stm device which already has a policy, using a different protocol. IOW, | mkdir /config/stp-policy/dummy_stm.0:p_basic.test | mkdir /config/stp-policy/dummy_stm.0:p_sys-t.test # puts "p_basic" | mkdir /config/stp-policy/dummy_stm.0:p_sys-t.test # "p_basic" -> -1 throws: | general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI | CPU: 3 PID: 2887 Comm: mkdir | RIP: 0010:module_put.part.31+0xe/0x90 | Call Trace: | module_put+0x13/0x20 | stm_put_protocol+0x11/0x20 [stm_core] | stp_policy_make+0xf1/0x210 [stm_core] | ? __kmalloc+0x183/0x220 | ? configfs_mkdir+0x10d/0x4c0 | configfs_mkdir+0x169/0x4c0 | vfs_mkdir+0x108/0x1c0 | do_mkdirat+0xe8/0x110 | __x64_sys_mkdir+0x1b/0x20 | do_syscall_64+0x5a/0x140 | entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 Correct this sad mistake by calling calling 'put' on the correct reference, which happens to match another error path in the same function, so we consolidate the two at the same time.
