watchdog: Fix possible use-after-free in wdt_startup()
mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.14-rc1 commit c08a6b31 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/I9ROH3 CVE: CVE-2021-47324 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=c08a6b31e4917034f0ed0cb457c3bb209576f542 -------------------------------- This module's remove path calls del_timer(). However, that function does not wait until the timer handler finishes. This means that the timer handler may still be running after the driver's remove function has finished, which would result in a use-after-free. Fix by calling del_timer_sync(), which makes sure the timer handler has finished, and unable to re-schedule itself. Reported-by:Hulk Robot <hulkci@huawei.com> Signed-off-by:
