mtd: Fix gluebi NULL pointer dereference caused by ftl notifier
[ Upstream commit a43bdc376deab5fff1ceb93dca55bcab8dbdc1d6 ]
If both ftl.ko and gluebi.ko are loaded, the notifier of ftl
triggers NULL pointer dereference when trying to access
‘gluebi->desc’ in gluebi_read().
ubi_gluebi_init
ubi_register_volume_notifier
ubi_enumerate_volumes
ubi_notify_all
gluebi_notify nb->notifier_call()
gluebi_create
mtd_device_register
mtd_device_parse_register
add_mtd_device
blktrans_notify_add not->add()
ftl_add_mtd tr->add_mtd()
scan_header
mtd_read
mtd_read_oob
mtd_read_oob_std
gluebi_read mtd->read()
gluebi->desc - NULL
Detailed reproduction information available at the Link [1],
In the normal case, obtain gluebi->desc in the gluebi_get_device(),
and access gluebi->desc in the gluebi_read(). However,
gluebi_get_device() is not executed in advance in the
ftl_add_mtd() process, which leads to NULL pointer dereference.
The solution for the gluebi module is to run jffs2 on the UBI
volume without considering working with ftl or mtdblock [2].
Therefore, this problem can be avoided by preventing gluebi from
creating the mtdblock device after creating mtd partition of the
type MTD_UBIVOLUME.
Fixes: 2ba3d76a1e29 ("UBI: make gluebi a separate module")
