Debugfs console_log uses devm memory (e.g. debug_info in
cros_ec_console_log_poll()). However, lifecycles of device and debugfs
are independent. An use-after-free issue is observed if userland
program operates the debugfs after the memory has been freed.
The call trace:
do_raw_spin_lock
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave
remove_wait_queue
ep_unregister_pollwait
ep_remove
do_epoll_ctl
A Python example to reproduce the issue:
... import select
... p = select.epoll()
... f = open('/sys/kernel/debug/cros_scp/console_log')
... p.register(f, select.POLLIN)
... p.poll(1)
[(4, 1)] # 4=fd, 1=select.POLLIN
[ shutdown cros_scp at the point ]
... p.poll(1)
[(4, 16)] # 4=fd, 16=select.POLLHUP
... p.unregister(f)
An use-after-free issue raises here. It called epoll_ctl with
EPOLL_CTL_DEL which in turn to use the workqueue in the devm (i.e.
log_wq).
Detaches log reader's workqueue from devm to make sure it is persistent
even if the device has been removed.

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.
