Subject: [PATCH v2 net 1/3] net: udp_tunnel: prevent double queueing in udp_tunnel_nic_device_sync
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 06:59:36 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625065938.654652-2-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260625065938.654652-1-edumazet@google.com>

Yue Sun reported a use-after-free and debugobjects warning in
udp_tunnel_nic_device_sync_work() during concurrent device operations.

The workqueue core clears the internal pending bit before invoking the
worker. At that point, a concurrent thread can queue the work again.
When the already running worker eventually clears the work_pending flag
to 0, it mistakenly clears the flag for the newly queued instance.
udp_tunnel_nic_unregister() then observes work_pending as 0 and frees
the structure while the second work item is still active in the queue,
leading to UAF.

Fix this by returning early in udp_tunnel_nic_device_sync() if
work_pending is already set, preventing redundant work queueing.

Fixes: cc4e3835eff4 ("udp_tunnel: add central NIC RX port offload infrastructure")
