When the driver fails to request the firmware, it calls its error handler. In the error handler, the driver detaches device from driver first before releasing the firmware, which can cause a use-after-free bug. Fix this by releasing firmware first. The following log reveals it: [ 9.007301 ] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in mwl8k_fw_state_machine+0x320/0xba0 [ 9.010143 ] Workqueue: events request_firmware_work_func [ 9.010830 ] Call Trace: [ 9.010830 ] dump_stack_lvl+0xa8/0xd1 [ 9.010830 ] print_address_description+0x87/0x3b0 [ 9.010830 ] kasan_report+0x172/0x1c0 [ 9.010830 ] ? mutex_unlock+0xd/0x10 [ 9.010830 ] ? mwl8k_fw_state_machine+0x320/0xba0 [ 9.010830 ] ? mwl8k_fw_state_machine+0x320/0xba0 [ 9.010830 ] __asan_report_load8_noabort+0x14/0x20 [ 9.010830 ] mwl8k_fw_state_machine+0x320/0xba0 [ 9.010830 ] ? mwl8k_load_firmware+0x5f0/0x5f0 [ 9.010830 ] request_firmware_work_func+0x172/0x250 [ 9.010830 ] ? read_lock_is_recursive+0x20/0x20 [ 9.010830 ] ? process_one_work+0x7a1/0x1100 [ 9.010830 ] ? request_firmware_nowait+0x460/0x460 [ 9.010830 ] ? __this_cpu_preempt_check+0x13/0x20 [ 9.010830 ] process_one_work+0x9bb/0x1100 Signed-off-by: Zheyu Ma <zheyuma97@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@codeaurora.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1634356979-6211-1-git-send-email-zheyuma97@gmail.com
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
