[PATCH v4 net 0/3] net: Fix race of rtnl_net_lock(dev_net(dev)).

[Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@amazon.com>]

Yael Chemla reported that commit 7fb1073300a2 ("net: Hold rtnl_net_lock()
in (un)?register_netdevice_notifier_dev_net().") started to trigger KASAN's
use-after-free splat.

The problem is that dev_net(dev) fetched before rtnl_net_lock() might be
different after rtnl_net_lock().

The patch 2 fixes the issue by checking dev_net(dev) after rtnl_net_lock(),
and the patch 3 fixes the same potential issue that would emerge once RTNL
is removed.


Changes:
  v4:
    * Add patch 1
    * Fix build failure for !CONFIG_NET_NS in patch 2

  v3:
    * Bump net->passive instead of maybe_get_net()
    * Remove msleep(1) loop
    * Use rcu_access_pointer() instead of rcu_read_lock().

  v2:
    * Use dev_net_rcu()
    * Use msleep(1) instead of cond_resched() after maybe_get_net()
    * Remove cond_resched() after net_eq() check

  v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250130232435.43622-1-kuniyu@amazon.com/


Kuniyuki Iwashima (3):
  net: Add net_passive_inc() and net_passive_dec().
  net: Fix dev_net(dev) race in unregister_netdevice_notifier_dev_net().
  dev: Use rtnl_net_dev_lock() in unregister_netdev().
