This patch is 4.9.y only. Kernels 4.12 and later are unaffected, since
all the underlying ion_handle infrastructure has been ripped out.
The ION_IOC_{MAP,SHARE} ioctls drop and reacquire client->lock several
times while operating on one of the client's ion_handles. This creates
windows where userspace can call ION_IOC_FREE on the same client with
the same handle, and effectively make the kernel drop its own reference.
For example:
- thread A: ION_IOC_ALLOC creates an ion_handle with refcount 1
- thread A: starts ION_IOC_MAP and increments the refcount to 2
- thread B: ION_IOC_FREE decrements the refcount to 1
- thread B: ION_IOC_FREE decrements the refcount to 0 and frees the
handle
- thread A: continues ION_IOC_MAP with a dangling ion_handle * to
freed memory
Fix this by holding client->lock for the duration of
ION_IOC_{MAP,SHARE}, preventing the concurrent ION_IOC_FREE. Also
remove ion_handle_get_by_id(), since there's literally no way to use it
safely.
