Kaixin Wang 6d0a07f68b fbdev: pxafb: Fix possible use after free in pxafb_task()
[ Upstream commit 4a6921095eb04a900e0000da83d9475eb958e61e ]

In the pxafb_probe function, it calls the pxafb_init_fbinfo function,
after which &fbi->task is associated with pxafb_task. Moreover,
within this pxafb_init_fbinfo function, the pxafb_blank function
within the &pxafb_ops struct is capable of scheduling work.

If we remove the module which will call pxafb_remove to make cleanup,
it will call unregister_framebuffer function which can call
do_unregister_framebuffer to free fbi->fb through
put_fb_info(fb_info), while the work mentioned above will be used.
The sequence of operations that may lead to a UAF bug is as follows:

CPU0                                                CPU1

                                   | pxafb_task
pxafb_remove                       |
unregister_framebuffer(info)       |
do_unregister_framebuffer(fb_info) |
put_fb_info(fb_info)               |
// free fbi->fb                    | set_ctrlr_state(fbi, state)
                                   | __pxafb_lcd_power(fbi, 0)
                                   | fbi->lcd_power(on, &fbi->fb.var)
                                   | //use fbi->fb

Fix it by ensuring that the work is canceled before proceeding
with the cleanup in pxafb_remove.

Note that only root user can remove the driver at runtime.

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.
