[PATCH 3/3] Add fb_open_adj_file() to bochsdrmfb to avoid use-after-free

From: Max Staudt <mstaudt at suse.de>

Currently, when using bochsdrm(fb), opening /dev/drm/card0 will adjust
file->f_mapping, but opening /dev/fb0 will not.
This may result in dangling pointers from user space when memory is
evicted, and therefore in use-after-free crashes when using the emulated
framebuffer device.

Bochs is the only driver to use the TTM fbdev integration
(ttm_fbdev_mmap()), and thus the only one able to trigger this case.
It is highlighted by the WARN_ON() in ttm_bo_vm_open() in
drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_bo_vm.c which is printed upon splitting
a VMA (see reproducer code below):

WARN_ON(bo->bdev->dev_mapping != vma->vm_file->f_mapping);

This happens because ttm_fbdev_mmap() sets the VMA's vm_ops pointer
to point to the TTM memory handling functions, without the file's
f_mapping having been adjusted. This means that file->f_mapping would
still point to the address_space for the inode in the file system.

This patch avoids dangling/use-after-free pointers that remain after
TTM decides to evict the memory referenced by bo->bdev->dev_mapping,
as the VMAs of a mmap()ed /dev/fb0 belong to /dev/fb0 instead of the
anonymous inode dev->anon_inode used by DRM.
It basically mimics the adjustment of file->f_mapping that is also
performed in drm_open() in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fops.c.

For the original report, see:
https://lkml.kernel.org/g/s5hy49ue4y0.wl-tiwai@suse.de

The reproducer code is as follows:

----

int main(void)
{
        void *addr;

        int fd = open("/dev/fb0", O_RDONLY);
        if (fd < 0)
                err(1, "open");

        addr = mmap(0, 8192, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
        if (addr == MAP_FAILED)
                err(1, "1st mmap");

        if (mmap(addr, 4096, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED | MAP_FIXED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) == MAP_FAILED)
                err(1, "2nd mmap");

        return 0;
}
