🇰🇷 한글 설명
Linux 커널의 brcmfmac 무선 드라이버에서 brcmf_detach() 실행 중 P2P 디바이스가 두 번 제거되는 경쟁 상태(race condition)가 있어, 드라이버 제거 시 커널 패닉이 발생합니다. RTNL 및 wiphy 뮤텍스를 획득한 상태에서 P2P 인터페이스를 제거하도록 수정되었습니다.
💡 쉬운 설명
Wi-Fi 드라이버를 제거하는 동안 wpa_supplicant가 같은 무선 장치를 동시에 정리하려고 하면 장치가 두 번 해제되어 시스템이 멈출 수 있습니다. 이 문제는 잠금을 적절히 걸어 두 작업이 겹치지 않도록 고쳐졌습니다.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: fix P2P device removal race in brcmf_detach()
When the driver is removed while the user space process that created
the P2P device (e.g. wpa_supplicant) is still exiting, the P2P device
interface is removed twice and the kernel crashes.
The two paths are:
- wpa_supplicant, on exit, sends NL80211_CMD_DEL_INTERFACE for the P2P
device. nl80211_del_interface() holds RTNL and the wiphy mutex and
calls brcmf_p2p_del_vif(), which disables discovery and waits up to
1.5 s for BRCMF_E_IF_DEL. Then it calls brcmf_remove_interface(),
which unregisters the wdev and frees the vif and the ifp.
- brcmf_detach() sets the bus down, so BRCMF_E_IF_DEL never arrives,
and calls brcmf_remove_interface(ifp, false) for the same ifp.
brcmf_p2p_ifp_removed() reads ifp->vif and then blocks on
rtnl_lock(). When brcmf_p2p_del_vif() releases RTNL, it calls
cfg80211_unregister_wdev() on the wdev that was already unregistered
and freed.
The second list_del_rcu() of wdev->list faults on LIST_POISON2:
brcmfmac: brcmf_p2p_del_vif delete P2P vif
brcmfmac: brcmf_p2p_deinit_discovery enter
brcmfmac: brcmf_p2p_del_vif P2P: GO_NEG_PHASE status cleared
brcmfmac: brcmf_detach Enter
brcmfmac: brcmf_bus_change_state 1 -> 0
brcmfmac: brcmf_remove_interface Enter, bsscfgidx=1, ifidx=0
brcmfmac: brcmf_del_if Enter, bsscfgidx=1, ifidx=0
brcmfmac: brcmf_p2p_ifp_removed P2P: device interface removed
[1.5 s later, brcmf_p2p_del_vif() timed out]
brcmfmac: brcmf_remove_interface Enter, bsscfgidx=1, ifidx=0
brcmfmac: brcmf_del_if Enter, bsscfgidx=1, ifidx=0
brcmfmac: brcmf_p2p_ifp_removed P2P: device interface removed

The log was taken with debug=0x406 on an i.MX 8M Plus board with a
CYW55513 (Sona IF513) on SDIO. The driver is the Ezurio backport of
brcmfmac from v6.18.22 on a 5.4-rt kernel. The code involved is the same
in mainline.
To reproduce:
1. Start wpa_supplicant on wlan0 and let it associate. It creates the
P2P device (iw dev shows "type P2P-device").
2. Stop wpa_supplicant and remove the driver without waiting for
wpa_supplicant to exit:
kill $(pidof wpa_supplicant)
rmmod brcmfmac_cyw brcmfmac
The crash is reproducible on that board.
For the interface without a netdev (the P2P device), take RTNL and the
wiphy mutex in brcmf_detach() before reading iflist, and remove it with
locked=true. If brcmf_p2p_del_vif() runs first, brcmf_detach() finds the
slot empty. If brcmf_detach() runs first, nl80211 does not find the wdev
any more. The interfaces with a netdev are removed as before, because
brcmf_del_if() takes RTNL on its own for the primary interface.
