Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: brcmfmac: make release_scratchbuffers idempotent brcmf_pcie_release_scratchbuffers() frees the shared.scratch and shared.ringupd DMA buffers with dma_free_coherent() but does not clear the pointers afterwards, unlike the sibling release_ringbuffers() which NULLs commonrings/flowrings/idxbuf on release. Both the bus_reset .reset callback (brcmf_pcie_reset) and brcmf_pcie_remove() call release_scratchbuffers. When reset teardown has run before removal, remove's own teardown would call dma_free_coherent() a second time on the already-freed DMA allocation. NULL the pointers after free, matching release_ringbuffers(), so a later release observes that the allocation has already been released. This patch makes repeated sequential release safe; the reset-work lifetime is handled separately by the following patch. This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.
