Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] net/smc: hold a reference on net_device returned by pnet_find_base_ndev()
Date: Wed, 07 Oct 2026 04:07:46 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-162620@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261007040009.137568-1-atharva.a.vartak@gmail.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 a reference with netdev_hold() before dropping RTNL and add the
> matching netdev_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()
