Subject: [PATCH] net: tls: Use disable_delayed_work_sync() instead of cancel_delayed_work_sync() in tls_sw_cancel_work_tx()
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2026 18:51:50 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <aZLotq3aZY0b-dI8@v4bel> (raw)

After cancel_delayed_work_sync() is called from tls_sk_proto_close(), 
tx_work_handler() can still be scheduled from paths such as the 
Delayed ACK handler or ksoftirqd.
As a result, the tx_work_handler() worker may dereference a freed 
TLS object.

To prevent this race condition, cancel_delayed_work_sync() is 
replaced with disable_delayed_work_sync().

Fixes: f87e62d45e51 ("net/tls: remove close callback sock unlock/lock around TX work flush")

Dear,

The following is a simplified scenario illustrating how each race can occur. Since tls_sw_cancel_work_tx() does not hold lock_sock(), it can race with tls_write_space().
```
          cpu0                                             cpu1

tls_sk_proto_close()
  tls_sw_cancel_work_tx()
                                                    tls_write_space()
                                                      tls_sw_write_space()
                                                      if (!test_and_set_bit(BIT_TX_SCHEDULED, &tx_ctx->tx_bitmask))
    set_bit(BIT_TX_SCHEDULED, &ctx->tx_bitmask);
    cancel_delayed_work_sync(&ctx->tx_work.work);
                                                      schedule_delayed_work(&tx_ctx->tx_work.work, 0);
```

Best regards,
Hyunwoo Kim
