Wentao Liang e91df6d273 pwrseq: core: fix use-after-free in pwrseq_debugfs_seq_next()
commit 257595adf9 upstream.

pwrseq_debugfs_seq_next() declares 'next' with __free(put_device),
which causes put_device() to be called on the returned pointer when
the variable goes out of scope.  This results in a use-after-free
since the seq_file framework receives a pointer whose reference has
already been dropped.

Simply removing __free(put_device) would fix the UAF but would leak
the reference acquired by bus_find_next_device(), as stop() only
calls up_read(&pwrseq_sem) and never releases the device reference.

Fix this by making the reference counting consistent across all
seq_file callbacks, matching the standard pattern used by PCI and
SCSI:

- start(): use get_device() so it returns a referenced pointer.
- next(): explicitly put_device(curr) to release the previous
  device's reference (no NULL check needed - the seq_file framework
  only calls next() while the previous return was non-NULL).
- stop(): put_device(data) to release the last iterated device's
  reference, with a NULL guard since stop() may be called with NULL
  when start() returned NULL or next() reached end-of-sequence.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
