Subject: [PATCH 6.18 23/60] rose: fix netdev double-hold in rose_make_new()
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 14:03:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625125648.957773009@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260625125645.554579168@linuxfoundation.org>
6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Bernard Pidoux <bernard.f6bvp@gmail.com>
commit b9fb21ceb4f0d043767a1eba60786ec84809033b upstream.
rose_make_new() copies orose->device from the listener socket and calls
netdev_hold(), storing the tracker in rose->dev_tracker. The only
caller, rose_rx_call_request(), then overwrites both make_rose->device
and make_rose->dev_tracker with a fresh netdev_hold() for the actual
incoming-call device.
This orphans the tracker allocated by rose_make_new(): it remains in
the device's refcount_tracker list but no pointer exists to free it
via netdev_put(). The result is one spurious outstanding reference per
accepted CALL_REQUEST, visible at rmmod time as:
ref_tracker: netdev@X has 2/2 users at
rose_rx_call_request+0xba3/0x1d50 [rose]
rose_loopback_timer+0x3eb/0x670 [rose]
The second entry is the orphaned tracker from rose_make_new(); the
first is the correctly-managed socket reference from rose_rx_call_request().
Fix: initialise rose->device to NULL in rose_make_new() and let
rose_rx_call_request() -- the sole caller -- assign the correct device
and take the sole netdev_hold() as it already does.
