Subject: [PATCH v3 net-next 4/6] xfrm: Check netif_is_alive() in xfrm_bundle_create() and xfrm_create_dummy_bundle().
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2026 20:47:16 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001204752.2572265-5-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261001204752.2572265-1-kuniyu@google.com>
struct dst_entry passed to xfrm_bundle_create() and
xfrm_create_dummy_bundle() could outlive synchronize_net() in
unregister_netdevice_many_notify().
For example, ip_route_output_flow() calls __ip_route_output_key()
to fetch a dst under RCU, but calls xfrm_lookup_route() outside of
that RCU critical section.
Thus, xfrm_fill_dst() could add a new uncached route after the
first NETDEV_UNREGISTER notification and rely on the rebroadcast
in netdev_wait_allrefs_any().
The following patches will move the uncached route flush for dying
netdev from the NETDEV_UNREGISTER handler to netdev_run_todo(),
where the rebroadcast is also skipped due to dev->dismantle,
making such late additions problematic.
Let's check netif_is_alive() after fetching dst_dev_rcu(dst)
under RCU.
This ensures that xfrm either finishes adding the uncached
route before synchronize_net() or fails with -ENODEV.
