[RESEND PATCH] media: mtk-jpeg: Fix use after free bug due to uncanceled work

The timer function was inited in mtk_jpeg_probe with
mtk_jpeg_job_timeout_work function.
And the worker is started in mtk_jpeg_dec_device_run.
There are two functions (mtk_jpeg_enc_irq and mtk_jpeg_dec_irq) which
may cancel the worker.
They are used as IRQ handler function which is saved as function
pointer in a variable.
In mtk_jpeg_probe, they are registered by devm_request_irq:

ret = devm_request_irq(&pdev->dev,
               jpeg_irq,
               jpeg->variant->irq_handler,
               0,
               pdev->name, jpeg);
    if (ret) {
      dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Failed to request jpeg_irq %d (%d)\n",
        jpeg_irq, ret);
      return ret;
    }

However, if we remove the module without triigering the irq, the
worker will never be removed.

As for the schedule, mtk_jpeg_dec_device_run and
mtk_jpeg_enc_device_run will start the worker.
The schedule invoking is quite complicated. As far as I know, the
invoking chain is as follows:

v4l2_m2m_init->v4l2_m2m_device_run_work->v4l2_m2m_try_run

the v4l2_m2m_device_run_work is also a worker which is inited in
v4l2_m2m_init and started in
v4l2_m2m_schedule_next_job.

Before calling remove function, the  mtk_jpeg_release was invoked to
release the related resource.

v4l2_m2m_cancel_job will cancel the job by calling
m2m_dev->m2m_ops->job_abort(m2m_ctx->priv).

But this will only cancel the current queue by
list_del(&m2m_dev->curr_ctx->queue);

I think this can not cancel the posted task mentioned before. So I
think if mtk_jpeg_job_timeout_work

is working on, and use jpeg->m2m_dev after freeing it in
mtk_jpeg_remove, it wll cause UAF bug.

static int mtk_jpeg_release(struct file *file)
{
  struct mtk_jpeg_dev *jpeg = video_drvdata(file);
  struct mtk_jpeg_ctx *ctx = mtk_jpeg_fh_to_ctx(file->private_data);

  mutex_lock(&jpeg->lock);
  v4l2_ctrl_handler_free(&ctx->ctrl_hdl);
  [1] v4l2_m2m_ctx_release(ctx->fh.m2m_ctx);
  v4l2_fh_del(&ctx->fh);
  v4l2_fh_exit(&ctx->fh);
  kfree(ctx);
  mutex_unlock(&jpeg->lock);
  return 0;
}

void v4l2_m2m_ctx_release(struct v4l2_m2m_ctx *m2m_ctx)
{
  /* wait until the current context is dequeued from job_queue */
  [2] v4l2_m2m_cancel_job(m2m_ctx);

  vb2_queue_release(&m2m_ctx->cap_q_ctx.q);
  vb2_queue_release(&m2m_ctx->out_q_ctx.q);

  kfree(m2m_ctx);
}

Note that, all of this is static analysis, which may be false positive.
Feel free to tell me if there is something I've missed.

Regard,
Zheng
