Hi,
I hit use-after-free issues in UIO in 4.14.x, and discovered that it's already fixed in later kernel versions:

uio: Prevent device destruction while fds are openCan we have this in 4.14.y? (good idea to older LTS kernels too) I picked and tested the following commits in 4.14.x:
# Temporarily revert "uio: Fix an Oops on load", # to avoid merge conflict later with "uio: use # request_threaded_irq instead" git revert f6a6ae4e0f345aa481535bfe2046cd33f4dc37b8
# "uio: Reduce return paths from uio_write()" git cherry-pick 81daa406c2cc97d85eef9409400404efc2a3f756
# "uio: Prevent device destruction while fds are open" # Also amend this, change __poll_t to plain unsigned int, # the former not found in 4.14. git cherry-pick a93e7b331568227500186a465fee3c2cb5dffd1f sed -i "s/__poll_t/unsigned int/" drivers/uio/uio.c git commit --amend drivers/uio/uio.c
# "uio: use request_threaded_irq instead" git cherry-pick 9421e45f5ff3d558cf8b75a8cc0824530caf3453

That's a lot of work for me here, can you just send the patches properly backported as a series so that I can apply them that way to ensure that I got this all correct?
thanks,
