There are multiple path operate llcp_devices list without protection:

CPU0 CPU1

nfc_unregister_device() nfc_register_device()
nfc_llcp_unregister_device() nfc_llcp_register_device() //no lock
... list_add(local->list, llcp_devices)
local_release()
list_del(local->list)

CPU2
...
nfc_llcp_find_local()
list_for_each_entry(,&llcp_devices,)

So reach race condition if two of the three occur simultaneously like
following crash report, although there is no reproduction script in
syzbot currently, our artificially constructed use cases can also
reproduce it:

list_del corruption. prev->next should be ffff888060ce7000, but was ffff88802a0ad000. (prev=ffffffff8e536240)

Why a mutex instead of a spinlock? all the critical sections are very
small (both code and time-wise), while the list of callers reaching
that code is quite large making hard to check each of them is really in
process context.

Please switch to a spinlock instead.

Cheers,

Paolo

There is another syzbot bug report [1] contributed by the same bug. It
has the syz reproducer. A patch testing has been deployed on the
syzbot dashboard.

Besides, I have a doubt about this patch. This patch adds a mutex lock
to make list operations(add, delete, find etc.) exclusive. If the
following thread interleaving occurs, will this patch work?

CPU0 CPU2
nfc_llcp_unregister_device nfc_llcp_unregister_device
...... nfc_llcp_find_local
local_release ......
list_del ......
local_cleanup
local_llcp_local_put

If nfc_llcp_find_local executes before list deletion, it will still
lead to double free and UAF. Please correct me if I make any mistakes.
Thanks in advance.

Feel free to fix uaf in another patch, given no sense made by fixing two
issues in a single one.
