hamradio: defer ax25 kfree after unregister_netdev
stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.89 commit 450121075a6a6f1d50f97225d3396315309d61a1 bugzilla: 186140 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4S8HA Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=450121075a6a6f1d50f97225d3396315309d61a1 -------------------------------- commit 3e0588c2 upstream. There is a possible race condition (use-after-free) like below (USE) | (FREE) ax25_sendmsg | ax25_queue_xmit | dev_queue_xmit | __dev_queue_xmit | __dev_xmit_skb | sch_direct_xmit | ... xmit_one | netdev_start_xmit | tty_ldisc_kill __netdev_start_xmit | mkiss_close ax_xmit | kfree ax_encaps | | Even though there are two synchronization primitives before the kfree: 1. wait_for_completion(&ax->dead). This can prevent the race with routines from mkiss_ioctl. However, it cannot stop the routine coming from upper layer, i.e., the ax25_sendmsg. 2. netif_stop_queue(ax->dev). It seems that this line of code aims to halt the transmit queue but it fails to stop the routine that already being xmit. This patch reorder the kfree after the unregister_netdev to avoid the possible UAF as the unregister_netdev() is well synchronized and won't return if there is a running routine.
