Subject: Re: [PATCH] net/smc: hold a reference on net_device returned by pnet_find_base_ndev()
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 06:37:41 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928063742.6CAED1F000FF@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <6aba080c.b933486d.297b72.5042@mx.google.com>
> pnet_find_base_ndev() resolves the base net_device for stacked devices
> under RTNL, then drops the lock and returns the raw pointer without
> taking a reference. All three callers dereference the pointer after
> RTNL has been released, creating a use-after-free window if the device
> is concurrently unregistered.
>
> Take dev_hold() before dropping RTNL and add the matching dev_put() in
> every return path of the three callers:
>
> - smc_pnet_add_eth()
> - smc_pnet_find_roce_by_pnetid()
> - smc_pnet_find_ism_by_pnetid()
>
> Fixes: 0afff91c6f5e ("net/smc: add pnetid support")
> Fixes: 1619f770589a ("net/smc: add pnetid support for SMC-D and ISM")
