When the ene device is detaching, function ene_remove() will
be called. But there is no function to cancel tx_sim_timer
in ene_remove(), the timer handler ene_tx_irqsim() could race
with ene_remove(). As a result, the UAF bugs could happen,
the process is shown below.
(cleanup routine) | (timer routine)
| mod_timer(&dev->tx_sim_timer, ..)
ene_remove() | (wait a time)
| ene_tx_irqsim()
| dev->hw_lock //USE
| ene_tx_sample(dev) //USE
Fix by adding del_timer_sync(&dev->tx_sim_timer) in ene_remove(),
The tx_sim_timer could stop before ene device is deallocated.
What's more, The rc_unregister_device() and del_timer_sync()
should be called first in ene_remove() and the deallocated
functions such as free_irq(), release_region() and so on
should be called behind them. Because the rc_unregister_device()
is well synchronized. Otherwise, race conditions may happen. The
situations that may lead to race conditions are shown below.
Firstly, the rx receiver is disabled with ene_rx_disable()
before rc_unregister_device() in ene_remove(), which means it
can be enabled again if a process opens /dev/lirc0 between
ene_rx_disable() and rc_unregister_device().
Secondly, the irqaction descriptor is freed by free_irq()
before the rc device is unregistered, which means irqaction
descriptor may be accessed again after it is deallocated.
Thirdly, the timer can call ene_tx_sample() that can write
to the io ports, which means the io ports could be accessed
again after they are deallocated by release_region().
Therefore, the rc_unregister_device() and del_timer_sync()
should be called first in ene_remove().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
