put_device(&foo->dev); kfree(foo);I don't think this should be a bug pattern. put_device will drop the final reference of one object with struct device and invoke device_release to release some resources.
The release function should only clean up the internal resources in the device object. It should not touch the led_card which contains the device object.
It's only a use after free if you turn CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE debugging on, which you would never do in a production environment. The put_device() function calls kobject_release():
lib/kobject.c 725 static void kobject_release(struct kref *kref) 726 { 727 struct kobject *kobj = container_of(kref, struct kobject, kref); 728 #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE 729 unsigned long delay = HZ + HZ * (get_random_int() & 0x3); 730 pr_info("kobject: '%s' (%p): %s, parent %p (delayed %ld)\n", 731 kobject_name(kobj), kobj, __func__, kobj->parent, delay); 732 INIT_DELAYED_WORK(&kobj->release, kobject_delayed_cleanup); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
733 734 schedule_delayed_work(&kobj->release, delay); 735 #else 736 kobject_cleanup(kobj); 737 #endif 738 }
This release will be done later and it references led_card->dev which is now freed.
The Smatch check did work pretty decently. These are all use after free bugs if you have CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE enabled. (Line numbers from Friday's linux-next). I'm not going to bother fixing them because they're only an issue for CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE and not for production but I will email people when more of these bugs are introduced.
