Subject: [PATCH net v2] tls: Fix race condition in tls_sw_cancel_work_tx()
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 18:40:36 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <aZgsFO6nfylfvLE7@v4bel> (raw)

This issue was discovered during a code audit.

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.

The following is a simple race scenario:

          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);

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