dmaengine: fix use-after-free in dma_chan_put() and dma_release_channel()grafted
When dma_device_put() drops the last reference on chan->device->ref, dma_device_release() runs and may free the dma_device along with its channels. dma_chan_put() then still reads chan->device->owner via dma_chan_to_owner() for the trailing module_put(). KASAN catches it: slab-use-after-free in dma_chan_put+0x3e6/0x4c0 Read of size 8 by task insmod/6319 Freed by task 6319: kfree+0x225/0x470 dma_chan_put+0x395/0x4c0 dmaengine_put+0xf8/0x160 Cache the module owner in dma_chan_put() before the put so the trailing module_put() does not need chan->device.

+===============================================
+TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) driver API
+===============================================
+
+Kernel provides a TEE bus infrastructure where a Trusted Application is
+represented as a device identified via Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) and
+client drivers register a table of supported device UUIDs.
+
+TEE bus infrastructure registers following APIs:
+
+match():
+ iterates over the client driver UUID table to find a corresponding
+ match for device UUID. If a match is found, then this particular device is
+ probed via corresponding probe API registered by the client driver. This
+ process happens whenever a device or a client driver is registered with TEE
+ bus.
+
+uevent():
+ notifies user-space (udev) whenever a new device is registered on
+ TEE bus for auto-loading of modularized client drivers.
+
+TEE bus device enumeration is specific to underlying TEE implementation, so it
+is left open for TEE drivers to provide corresponding implementation.
+
+Then TEE client driver can talk to a matched Trusted Application using APIs
+listed in include/linux/tee_drv.h.
+
+TEE client driver example
+-------------------------
+
+Suppose a TEE client driver needs to communicate with a Trusted Application
+having UUID: ``ac6a4085-0e82-4c33-bf98-8eb8e118b6c2``, so driver registration
+snippet would look like::
+
+ static const struct tee_client_device_id client_id_table[] = {
+ {UUID_INIT(0xac6a4085, 0x0e82, 0x4c33,
+ 0xbf, 0x98, 0x8e, 0xb8, 0xe1, 0x18, 0xb6, 0xc2)},
+ {}
+ };
+
+ MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(tee, client_id_table);
+
+ static struct tee_client_driver client_driver = {
+ .probe = client_probe,
+ .remove = client_remove,
+ .id_table = client_id_table,
+ .driver = {
+ .name = DRIVER_NAME,
+ },
+ };
+
+ module_tee_client_driver(client_driver);
