commit 0552e05fdfea191a2cf3a0abd33574b5ef9ca818 upstream. If a device is deleted by one of its system-wide resume callbacks (for example, because it does not appear to be present or accessible any more) along with its children, the resume of the children may continue leading to use-after-free errors and other issues (potentially). Namely, if the device's children are resumed asynchronously, their resume may have been scheduled already before the device's callback runs and so the device may be deleted while dpm_wait_for_superior() is being executed for them. The memory taken up by the parent device object may be freed then while dpm_wait() is waiting for the parent's resume callback to complete, which leads to a use-after-free. Moreover, the resume of the children is really not expected to continue after they have been unregistered, so it must be terminated right away in that case. To address this problem, modify dpm_wait_for_superior() to check if the target device is still there in the system-wide PM list of devices and if so, to increment its parent's reference counter, both under dpm_list_mtx which prevents device_del() running for the child from dropping the parent's reference counter prematurely. If the device is not present in the system-wide PM list of devices any more, the resume of it cannot continue, so check that again after dpm_wait() returns, which means that the parent's callback has been completed, and pass the result of that check to the caller of dpm_wait_for_superior() to allow it to abort the device's resume if it is not there any more.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
