dmabuf: fix use-after-free of dmabuf's file->f_inode
It is observed 'use-after-free' on the dmabuf's file->f_inode with the race between closing the dmabuf file and reading the dmabuf's debug info. Consider the below scenario where P1 is closing the dma_buf file and P2 is reading the dma_buf's debug info in the system: P1 P2 dma_buf_debug_show() dma_buf_put() __fput() file->f_op->release() dput() .... dentry_unlink_inode() iput(dentry->d_inode) (where the inode is freed) mutex_lock(&db_list.lock) read 'dma_buf->file->f_inode' (the same inode is freed by P1) mutex_unlock(&db_list.lock) dentry->d_op->d_release()--> dma_buf_release() ..... mutex_lock(&db_list.lock) removes the dmabuf from the list mutex_unlock(&db_list.lock) In the above scenario, when dma_buf_put() is called on a dma_buf, it first frees the dma_buf's file->f_inode(=dentry->d_inode) and then removes this dma_buf from the system db_list. In between P2 traversing the db_list tries to access this dma_buf's file->f_inode that was freed by P1 which is a use-after-free case. Since, __fput() calls f_op->release first and then later calls the d_op->d_release, move the dma_buf's db_list removal from d_release() to f_op->release(). This ensures that dma_buf's file->f_inode is not accessed after it is released.
