Subject: [PATCH net] octeontx2-pf: Fix potential use after free in otx2_tc_add_flow()
Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2025 14:19:11 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aNKCL1jKwK8GRJHh@stanley.mountain> (raw)
This code calls kfree_rcu(new_node, rcu) and then dereferences "new_node"
and then dereferences it on the next line. Two lines later, we take
a mutex so I don't think this is an RCU safe region. Re-order it to do
the dereferences before queuing up the free.
Fixes: 68fbff68dbea ("octeontx2-pf: Add police action for TC flower")
Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@linaro.org>
