[ Upstream commit 9590232bb4f4cc824f3425a6e1349afbe6d6d2b7 ]

There is a use-after-free problem in the ion driver.
This is caused by a race condition in the ion_ioctl()
function.

A handle has ref count of 1 and two tasks on different
cpus calls ION_IOC_FREE simultaneously.

cpu 0                                   cpu 1
-------------------------------------------------------
ion_handle_get_by_id()
(ref == 2)
                            ion_handle_get_by_id()
                            (ref == 3)

ion_free()
(ref == 2)

ion_handle_put()
(ref == 1)

                            ion_free()
                            (ref == 0 so ion_handle_destroy() is
                            called
                            and the handle is freed.)

                            ion_handle_put() is called and it
                            decreases the slub's next free pointer

The problem is detected as an unaligned access in the
spin lock functions since it uses load exclusive
 instruction. In some cases it corrupts the slub's
free pointer which causes a mis-aligned access to the
next free pointer.(kmalloc returns a pointer like
ffffc0745b4580aa). And it causes lots of other
hard-to-debug problems.

This symptom is caused since the first member in the
ion_handle structure is the reference count and the
ion driver decrements the reference after it has been
freed.

To fix this problem client-&gt;lock mutex is extended
to protect all the codes that uses the handle.

commit 6fa92e2bcf6390e64895b12761e851c452d87bd8 upstream.

we found this issue but still exit in lastest kernel. Simply
keep ion_handle_create under mutex_lock to avoid this race.

At present, dma_buf_export() takes a series of parameters, which
makes it difficult to add any new parameters for exporters, if required.

Make it simpler by moving all these parameters into a struct, and pass
the struct * as parameter to dma_buf_export().

While at it, unite dma_buf_export_named() with dma_buf_export(), and
change all callers accordingly.

C99 says that a precision which is simply '.' with no following digits
or * should be interpreted as 0, which means that these format strings
actually mean 'print 16 spaces'. However, the kernel's printf
implementation treats this case as if the precision was omitted. Don't
rely on that quirk.

Currently we initialize the heap free_lock and free list size in
ion_heap_init_deferred_free, which is only called when the
ION_HEAP_FLAG_DEFER_FREE heap flag is given.  However, the lock and size
are used in the shrinker path as well as the deferred free path, and we
can register a shrinker *without* enabling deferred freeing.  So, if a
heap provides a shrinker but *doesn't* set the DEFER_FREE flag we will
use these parameters uninitialized (resulting in a spinlock bug and
broken shrinker accounting).

Fix these problems by initializing the free list parameters directly in
ion_device_add_heap, which is always called no matter which heap
features are being used.

The functions ion_heap_destroy() and vfree() perform also input
parameter validation. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
