🇰🇷 한글 설명
리눅스 커널의 SoundWire 드라이버에서 바인드/언바인드 처리와 콜백 호출 방식이 잘못 설계되어 있었다. 코덱 드라이버를 제거한 뒤에도 콜백이 호출되어 NULL 포인터 역참조나 페이지 폴트로 커널 오ops가 발생할 수 있었다. 이를 해결하기 위해 sdw_dev_lock 뮤텍스를 도입하고 probe 완료 기반 로직을 제거했다.
💡 쉬운 설명
오디오 장치의 드라이버를 제거했다가 다시 붙이는 과정에서 커널이 이미 지워진 정보를 참조해 시스템이 멈추거나 비정상 종료될 수 있는 문제입니다. 제거된 드라이버의 콜백이 실행되지 않도록 동기화가 추가되었습니다.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soundwire: revisit driver bind/unbind and callbacks
In the SoundWire probe, we store a pointer from the driver ops into
the 'slave' structure. This can lead to kernel oopses when unbinding
codec drivers, e.g. with the following sequence to remove machine
driver and codec driver.
/sbin/modprobe -r snd_soc_sof_sdw
/sbin/modprobe -r snd_soc_rt711
The full details can be found in the BugLink below, for reference the
two following examples show different cases of driver ops/callbacks
being invoked after the driver .remove().

This was not detected earlier in Intel tests since the tests first
remove the parent PCI device and shut down the bus. The sequence
above is a corner case which keeps the bus operational but without a
driver bound.
While trying to solve this kernel oopses, it became clear that the
existing SoundWire bus does not deal well with the unbind case.
Commit 528be501b7d4a ("soundwire: sdw_slave: add probe_complete structure and new fields")
added a 'probed' status variable and a 'probe_complete'
struct completion. This status is however not reset on remove and
likewise the 'probe complete' is not re-initialized, so the
bind/unbind/bind test cases would fail. The timeout used before the
'update_status' callback was also a bad idea in hindsight, there
should really be no timing assumption as to if and when a driver is
bound to a device.
An initial draft was based on device_lock() and device_unlock() was
tested. This proved too complicated, with deadlocks created during the
suspend-resume sequences, which also use the same device_lock/unlock()
as the bind/unbind sequences. On a CometLake device, a bad DSDT/BIOS
caused spurious resumes and the use of device_lock() caused hangs
during suspend. After multiple weeks or testing and painful
reverse-engineering of deadlocks on different devices, we looked for
alternatives that did not interfere with the device core.
A bus notifier was used successfully to keep track of DRIVER_BOUND and
DRIVER_UNBIND events. This solved the bind-unbind-bind case in tests,
but it can still be defeated with a theoretical corner case where the
memory is freed by a .remove while the callback is in use. The
notifier only helps make sure the driver callbacks are valid, but not
that the memory allocated in probe remains valid while the callbacks
are invoked.
This patch suggests the introduction of a new 'sdw_dev_lock' mutex
protecting probe/remove and all driver callbacks. Since this mutex is
'local' to SoundWire only, it does not interfere with existing locks
and does not create deadlocks. In addition, this patch removes the
'probe_complete' completion, instead we directly invoke the
'update_status' from the probe routine. That removes any sort of
timing dependency and a much better support for the device/driver
model, the driver could be bound before the bus started, or eons after
the bus started and the hardware would be properly initialized in all
cases.
