net/3com/3c515: Fix timer handling, prevent leaks and crashes
The timer handling in this driver is broken in several ways:
- corkscrew_open() initializes and arms a timer before requesting the
device interrupt. If the request fails the timer stays armed.
A second call to corkscrew_open will unconditionally reinitialize the
quued timer and arm it again. Also a immediate device removal will leave
the timer queued because close() is not called (open() failed) and
therefore nothing issues del_timer().
The reinitialization corrupts the link chain in the timer wheel hash
bucket and causes a NULL pointer dereference when the timer wheel tries
to operate on that hash bucket. Immediate device removal lets the link
chain poke into freed and possibly reused memory.
Solution: Arm the timer after the successful irq request.
- corkscrew_close() uses del_timer()
On close the timer is disarmed with del_timer() which lets the following
code race against a concurrent timer expiry function.
Solution: Use del_timer_sync() instead
- corkscrew_close() calls del_timer() unconditionally
del_timer() is invoked even if the timer was never initialized. This
works by chance because the struct containing the timer is zeroed at
allocation time.
Solution: Move the setup of the timer into corkscrew_setup().
