commit c3c07fc25f37c157fde041b3a0c3dfcb1590cbce upstream.

Abort fastmap scanning and return error code if memory allocation fails
in add_aeb(). Otherwise ubi will get wrong peb statistics information
after scanning.

commit 3cbf0e392f173ba0ce425968c8374a6aa3e90f2e upstream.

Hulk Robot reported a KASAN report about use-after-free:
 ==================================================================
 BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __list_del_entry_valid+0x13d/0x160

 ==================================================================

The lock held by ctrl_cdev_ioctl is ubi_devices_mutex, but the lock held
by ubi_cdev_ioctl is ubi-&gt;device_mutex. Therefore, the two locks can be
concurrent.

ctrl_cdev_ioctl contains two operations: ubi_attach and ubi_detach.
ubi_detach is bug-free because it uses reference counting to prevent
concurrency. However, uif_init and uif_close in ubi_attach may race with
ubi_cdev_ioctl.

uif_init will race with ubi_cdev_ioctl as in the following stack.
           cpu1                   cpu2                  cpu3

    ubi_free_volume
    // double free

The cause of this problem is that commit 714fb87e8bc0 make device
"available" before it becomes accessible via sysfs. Therefore, we
roll back the modification. We will fix the race condition between
ubi device creation and udev by removing ubi_get_device in
vol_attribute_show and dev_attribute_show.This avoids accessing
uninitialized ubi_devices[ubi_num].

ubi_get_device is used to prevent devices from being deleted during
sysfs execution. However, now kernfs ensures that devices will not
be deleted before all reference counting are released.
The key process is shown in the following stack.

device_del
  device_remove_attrs
    device_remove_groups
      sysfs_remove_groups
        sysfs_remove_group
          remove_files

The snprintf() function returns the number of characters (not
counting the NUL terminator) that it would have printed if we
had space.

This buffer has UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN characters plus one extra for
the terminator.  Printing UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN is okay but anything
higher will result in truncation.  Thus the comparison needs to be
change from == to &gt;.

These strings are compile time constants so this patch doesn't
affect runtime.
