[PATCH 7.1.y 2/2] fbdev: serialize mode sysfs access with lock_fb_info()

From: Melbin K Mathew <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 061db6b7a910b8378f3b2df64f8c0a3ddc6e85f2 ]

show_mode(), show_modes(), and store_mode() access fb_info->modelist
and fb_info->mode without holding lock_fb_info(). store_modes() takes
lock_fb_info() while replacing the modelist and freeing the old one.

A concurrent reader or writer can load a pointer to an old modelist
entry before store_modes() frees it, then dereference freed memory or
store a stale freed pointer in fb_info->mode.

Take lock_fb_info() in show_mode(), show_modes(), and store_mode() to
serialize with store_modes(). In show_mode(), copy the mode to the
stack and format after dropping the lock. In store_mode(), split
activate() into a _locked variant to avoid double-locking, and hold
the locks for the modelist walk, mode conversion, activation, and
fb_info->mode assignment together.
