Subject: [PATCH v2] can: isotp: use unconditional synchronize_rcu() in isotp_release()
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2026 11:47:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707094716.63578-1-socketcan@hartkopp.net> (raw)
isotp_notify() unregisters the (RCU) CAN filters via can_rx_unregister()
and clears so->bound without waiting for a grace period. isotp_release()
uses so->bound to decide whether it needs to call synchronize_rcu()
before cancelling so->rxtimer, so when NETDEV_UNREGISTER runs first it
skips that synchronize_rcu() and can cancel the timer while an
in-flight isotp_rcv() is still executing and about to re-arm it via
isotp_send_fc(), leading to a use-after-free timer callback on the
freed socket.
sakisho-bot remarked a problem with rtnl_lock held in isotp_notify(),
therefore make isotp_release() always call synchronize_rcu() before
cancelling the timers, regardless of so->bound. This still closes the
original race (isotp_notify() clearing so->bound without waiting for
in-flight isotp_rcv() callers before isotp_release() cancels the RX
timer) without adding any RCU wait to the netdevice notifier path.
Fixes: 14a4696bc311 ("can: isotp: isotp_release(): omit unintended hrtimer restart on socket release")
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-can/20260707085210.6B6C01F000E9@smtp.kernel.org/
