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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.

When the switch driver (e.g., mlxsw_spectrum) determines it needs to flash a new firmware version it resets the ASIC after the flashing process. The bus driver (e.g., mlxsw_pci) then registers itself again with mlxsw_core which means (among other things) that the device registers itself again with the hwmon subsystem again. Since the device was registered with the hwmon subsystem using devm_hwmon_device_register_with_groups(), then the old hwmon device (registered before the flashing) was never unregistered and was referencing stale data, resulting in a use-after free. Fix by removing reliance on device managed APIs in mlxsw_hwmon_init(). Fixes: c86d62cc ("mlxsw: spectrum: Reset FW after flash") Signed-off-by:Ido Schimmel <idosch@mellanox.com> Reported-by:
