In the above description, the dmabuf object freed in P1 is being accessed from P2 which is resulting into the use-after-free. Below is the dump stack reported.

Nit, please read the documentation for how to do a Fixes: line properly, you need more digits: Fixes: bb2bb9030425 ("dma-buf: add DMA_BUF_SET_NAME ioctls")

Will update the patch

Also, any reason you didn't include the other mailing lists that get_maintainer.pl said to?

Really sorry for not sending to complete list. Added now.

And finally, no cc: stable in the s-o-b area for an issue that needs to be backported to older kernels?

Will update the patch.

Why not just use a kref instead of an open-coded atomic value?

Kref approach looks cleaner. will update the patch accordingly.

How can dmabuf not be valid here?

And isn't there already a usecount for the buffer?

dmabuf exported as file simply relies on that file's refcount, thus fput() releases the dmabuf.

We are storing the dmabuf in the dentry->d_fsdata but there is no binding between the dentry and the dmabuf. So, flow will be like

1) P1 calls fput(dmabuf_fd)

2) P2 trying to access the file information of P1.     Eg: lsof command trying to list out the dmabuf_fd information using /proc/<P1 pid>/fd/dmabuf_fd

3) P1 calls the file->f_op->release(dmabuf_fd_file)(ends up in calling dma_buf_release()),   thus frees up the dmabuf buffer.

4) P2 access the dmabuf stored in the dentry->d_fsdata which was freed in step 3.

So we need to have some refcount mechanism to avoid the use-after-free in step 4.

Isn't there other usage counters here that can support this? Adding another one feels wrong as now we have multiple use counts, right?

I couldn't see any refcount exist and couldn't find the need either, earlier.

But the change bb2bb9030425 ("dma-buf: add DMA_BUF_SET_NAME ioctls") requires to have one.

thanks,
