when unload pstore_blk, we will unlink the pstore file and set pos->dentry to NULL, but simple_unlink(d_inode(root), pos->dentry) may free inode of pos->dentry and free pos by free_pstore_private, this may trigger uaf. kasan report:

Hi,
Thanks for your patch.
FYI: kernel test robot notices the stable kernel rule is not satisfied.
The check is based on https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html#opti...
Rule: add the tag "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" in the sign-off area to have the patch automatically included in the stable tree. Subject: [PATCH] pstore: Fix uaf when backend is unregistered Link: https://lore.kernel.org/stable/2bf30957-ad04-473a-a72e-8baab648fb56%40gmail....

But on the face of it, this does solve the UAF. I'll double-check that this isn't a result of the mentioned commit.

Hi Cook,
However, I think a more appropriate solution to the problem here is to check the reference count when uninstalling the mount point.
At the same time, the test script is attached: #!/bin/bash modprobe pstore_blk blkdev=/dev/sda2 best_effort=on mount -t pstore pstore /sys/fs/pstore sleep 2 umount /sys/fs/pstore modprobe -r pstore_blk
Thanks, Zach

friendly ping.
Hi Cook,
How are you doing? I really hope we can solve this problem.
