commit 48b71a9e66c2eab60564b1b1c85f4928ed04e406 upstream.
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.
