Title
of: dynamic: Synchronize of_changeset_destroy() with the devlink removals
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: of: dynamic: Synchronize of_changeset_destroy() with the devlink removals In the following sequence: 1) of_platform_depopulate() 2) of_overlay_remove() During the step 1, devices are destroyed and devlinks are removed. During the step 2, OF nodes are destroyed but __of_changeset_entry_destroy() can raise warnings related to missing of_node_put(): ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 2 ... Indeed, during the devlink removals performed at step 1, the removal itself releasing the device (and the attached of_node) is done by a job queued in a workqueue and so, it is done asynchronously with respect to function calls. When the warning is present, of_node_put() will be called but wrongly too late from the workqueue job. In order to be sure that any ongoing devlink removals are done before the of_node destruction, synchronize the of_changeset_destroy() with the devlink removals.

No remote peer data reaches drivers/of/dynamic.c.\nAC:L - The devlink removal job is queued asynchronously and of_platform_depopulate() returns immediately before of_overlay_remove() runs, so the outstanding-reference condition occurs reliably (the reporter and testers hit it consistently), and the teardown can be repeated in a loop via unbind/rebind cycles.\nPR:L - No capability check guards the racy path; entry is device removal/unbind, which on embedded and hotplug-capable deployments is initiated by device events or low-privileged management paths rather than gated authentication. Choosing the higher-severity option where the privilege boundary is deployment-dependent.\nUI:N - The overlay teardown is initiated by the attacker\u0027s own action (unbind/hot-unplug) or by an autonomous device event; no separate victim needs to perform any operation.\nS:U - The corrupted objects (struct device_node, kobject refcounts, kernel heap) all live within the kernel\u0027s own security authority; no VM, IOMMU or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - When a leaked child node\u0027s parent device_node has already been freed, of_node_release()\u0027s %pOF print dereferences the freed parent and its freed full_name pointer, rendering reclaimed heap contents into the kernel log \u2014 a use-after-free read of attacker-influenceable memory.\nI:H - The same path performs kobject_get()/refcount_inc() on the freed parent object, writing into memory that can be reclaimed by an attacker-sprayed allocation during the asynchronous workqueue window, giving a use-after-free write primitive.\nA:H - Every affected teardown permanently leaks device_node memory plus its properties, and the resulting refcount-0 nodes left in fwnode link lists and dangling parent pointers produce refcount_t warnings and freed-memory dereferences that oops (and panic under panic_on_warn); repeated hot-unplug cycles drive unbounded memory exhaustion."
