commit 61cc4534b6550997c97a03759ab46b29d44c0017 upstream. It was found that reading /proc/lockdep after a lockdep splat may potentially cause an access to freed memory if lockdep_unregister_key() is called after the splat but before access to /proc/lockdep [1]. This is due to the fact that graph_lock() call in lockdep_unregister_key() fails after the clearing of debug_locks by the splat process. After lockdep_unregister_key() is called, the lock_name may be freed but the corresponding lock_class structure still have a reference to it. That invalid memory pointer will then be accessed when /proc/lockdep is read by a user and a use-after-free (UAF) error will be reported if KASAN is enabled. To fix this problem, lockdep_unregister_key() is now modified to always search for a matching key irrespective of the debug_locks state and zap the corresponding lock class if a matching one is found.

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.
