llcp_sock_sendmsg() calls nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame() which in turn calls
nfc_alloc_send_skb(), which accesses the nfc_dev from the llcp_sock for
getting the headroom and tailroom needed for skb allocation.

Parallelly the nfc_dev can be freed, as the refcount is decreased via
nfc_free_device(), leading to a UAF reported by Syzkaller, which can
be summarized as follows:

(1) llcp_sock_sendmsg() -> nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame()
	-> nfc_alloc_send_skb() -> Dereference *nfc_dev
(2) virtual_ncidev_close() -> nci_free_device() -> nfc_free_device()
	-> put_device() -> nfc_release() -> Free *nfc_dev

When a reference to llcp_local is acquired, we do not acquire the same
for the nfc_dev. This leads to freeing even when the llcp_local is in
use, and this is the case with the UAF described above too.

Thus, when we acquire a reference to llcp_local, we should acquire a
reference to nfc_dev, and release the references appropriately later.

References for llcp_local is initialized in nfc_llcp_register_device()
(which is called by nfc_register_device()). Thus, we should acquire a
reference to nfc_dev there.

nfc_unregister_device() calls nfc_llcp_unregister_device() which in
turn calls nfc_llcp_local_put(). Thus, the reference to nfc_dev is
appropriately released later.

Why is this needed? Which part earlier gets the reference?

This order is still wrong. Unwinding is almost always done in reversed
order, for good reasons. Why do you unwind in other order?

Thanks for pointing out. sk_init sets refcount to 1. Actually on a
further look, the next line shouldn't be there as nfc_llcp_sock_free()
is already called in sk->sk_destruct (== llcp_sock_destruct()), which
is called via __sk_destruct().

As sock_put() -> sk_free() -> __sk_destruct() -> sk_prot_free(),
so we need to put.

TBH really don't know why nfc_llcp_sock_free() is not static.

Oops, extremely sorry about that :( I reverted back to wrong ordering
from an older local commit and didn't check.

I'll send the fixed one.

Thanks,
Siddh
