Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: psp: check for device unregister when creating assoc
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 12:06:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427190606.366101-1-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
psp_assoc_device_get_locked() obtains a psp_dev reference via
psp_dev_get_for_sock() (which uses psp_dev_tryget() under RCU);
it then acquires psd->lock and drops the reference. Before
the lock is taken, psp_dev_unregister() can run to completion:
take psd->lock, clear out state, unlock, drop the registration
reference.
The expectation is that the lock prevents device unregistration,
but much like with netdevs special care has to be taken when
"upgrading" a reference to a locked device. Add the missing
check if device is still alive. psp_dev_is_registered() exists
already but had no callers, which makes me wonder if I either
forgot to add this or lost the check during refactoring...

v2:
- Sashiko spotted that psp_dev_check_access() has to happen after
liveness check, as well, so move the liveness check earlier
