[ Upstream commit 2568a7e0832ee30b0a351016d03062ab4e0e0a3f ]
The l1oip_cleanup() traverses the l1oip_ilist and calls
release_card() to cleanup module and stack. However,
release_card() calls del_timer() to delete the timers
such as keep_tl and timeout_tl. If the timer handler is
running, the del_timer() will not stop it and result in
UAF bugs. One of the processes is shown below:
(cleanup routine) | (timer handler)
release_card() | l1oip_timeout()
... |
del_timer() | ...
... |
kfree(hc) //FREE |
| hc->timeout_on = 0 //USE
Fix by calling del_timer_sync() in release_card(), which
makes sure the timer handlers have finished before the
resources, such as l1oip and so on, have been deallocated.
What's more, the hc->workq and hc->socket_thread can kick
those timers right back in. We add a bool flag to show
if card is released. Then, check this flag in hc->workq
and hc->socket_thread.

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.
