Subject: [PATCH net] mptcp: fix race in mptcp_pm_nl_flush_addrs_doit()
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2026 13:13:06 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260122131306.2119853-1-edumazet@google.com> (raw)

syzbot and Eulgyu Kim reported crashes in mptcp_pm_nl_get_local_id()
and/or mptcp_pm_nl_is_backup()

Root cause is list_splice_init() in mptcp_pm_nl_flush_addrs_doit()
which is not RCU ready.

list_splice_init_rcu() can not be called here while holding pernet->lock
spinlock.

Many thanks to Eulgyu Kim for providing a repro and testing our patches.

Fixes: 141694df6573 ("mptcp: remove address when netlink flushes addrs")
