Subject: [PATCH 2/2] staging: octeon: add missing napi_disable in cvm_oct_rx_shutdown
Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2026 17:17:39 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260614114739.87061-2-ayushmukkanwar@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260614114739.87061-1-ayushmukkanwar@gmail.com>
cvm_oct_rx_shutdown calls free_irq and netif_napi_del without
disabling the napi instance first. As the free_irq only waits
for completion of hard interrupt handlers, the napi poll
function could still be active. If cvm_oct_remove proceeds to
free the plat structure (which holds the NAPI instances), the
active poll function will access freed memory, resulting in a
use-after-free crash.
