A Root Port's AER structure (rpc) contains a queue of events. aer_irq()
enqueues AER status information and schedules aer_isr() to dequeue and
process it. When we remove a device, aer_remove() waits for the queue to
be empty, then frees the rpc struct.
But aer_isr() references the rpc struct after dequeueing and possibly
emptying the queue, which can cause a use-after-free error as in the
following scenario with two threads, aer_isr() on the left and a
concurrent aer_remove() on the right:
Thread A Thread B
-------- --------
aer_irq():
rpc->prod_idx++
aer_remove():
wait_event(rpc->prod_idx == rpc->cons_idx)
# now blocked until queue becomes empty
aer_isr(): # ...
rpc->cons_idx++ # unblocked because queue is now empty
... kfree(rpc)
mutex_unlock(&rpc->rpc_mutex)
To prevent this problem, use flush_work() to wait until the last scheduled
instance of aer_isr() has completed before freeing the rpc struct in
aer_remove().
I reproduced this use-after-free by flashing a device FPGA and
re-enumerating the bus to find the new device. With SLUB debug, this
crashes with 0x6b bytes (POISON_FREE, the use-after-free magic number) in
