There are two sites that calls queue_work() after the
destroy_workqueue() and lead to possible UAF.
The first site is nci_send_cmd(), which can happen after the
nci_close_device as below
nfcmrvl_nci_unregister_dev | nfc_genl_dev_up
nci_close_device |
flush_workqueue |
del_timer_sync |
nci_unregister_device | nfc_get_device
destroy_workqueue | nfc_dev_up
nfc_unregister_device | nci_dev_up
device_del | nci_open_device
| __nci_request
| nci_send_cmd
| queue_work !!!
Another site is nci_cmd_timer, awaked by the nci_cmd_work from the
nci_send_cmd.
... | ...
nci_unregister_device | queue_work
destroy_workqueue |
nfc_unregister_device | ...
device_del | nci_cmd_work
| mod_timer
| ...
| nci_cmd_timer
| queue_work !!!
For the above two UAF, the root cause is that the nfc_dev_up can race
between the nci_unregister_device routine. Therefore, this patch
introduce NCI_UNREG flag to easily eliminate the possible race. In
addition, the mutex_lock in nci_close_device can act as a barrier.

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.
