Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y] xfrm: hold dev ref until after transport_finish NF_HOOK
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2026 14:12:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260605141254.1177152-1-simonlie@amazon.de> (raw)
From: Qi Tang <tpluszz77@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit 1c428b03840094410c5fb6a5db30640486bbbfcb ]
After async crypto completes, xfrm_input_resume() calls dev_put()
immediately on re-entry before the skb reaches transport_finish.
The skb->dev pointer is then used inside NF_HOOK and its okfn,
which can race with device teardown.
Remove the dev_put from the async resumption entry and instead
drop the reference after the NF_HOOK call in transport_finish,
using a saved device pointer since NF_HOOK may consume the skb.
This covers NF_DROP, NF_QUEUE and NF_STOLEN paths that skip
the okfn.
For non-transport exits (decaps, gro, drop) and secondary
async return points, release the reference inline when
async is set.

[ net/xfrm/xfrm_input.c: dev_hold/dev_put are unconditional here rather
than inside !crypto_done as in mainline, and the dev_put in the
encap_type == -1 async-resumption block does not exist; adapted by
gating dev_put at resume: with if (!async), adding if (async) dev_put
at -EINPROGRESS return, gro_cells_receive paths, and drop label. ]
