Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] net-shapers: clear hierarchy pointer and defer flush frees with RCU
Date: Mon, 09 Mar 2026 17:35:06 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309173450.538026-1-p@1g4.org> (raw)
net_shaper_lookup() and the GET dump path traverse shaper state
under rcu_read_lock() without taking the shaper lock. During
teardown, net_shaper_flush() freed both the shapers and the
hierarchy with kfree(), but netdev->net_shaper_hierarchy still
pointed at the freed hierarchy.
This lets GET readers race netdevice teardown and walk freed
xarray state or freed shaper objects.
Detach the hierarchy pointer from the netdevice under the
shaper lock before teardown and switch the shaper and hierarchy
frees in flush to kfree_rcu().
Fixes: 4b623f9f0f59 ("net-shapers: implement NL get operation")
