Subject: [PATCH net-next v2] ipv4: igmp: remove multicast group from hash table on device destruction
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 11:23:25 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630022325.1556638-1-yuyanghuang@google.com> (raw)
When a device is destroyed under RTNL, ip_mc_destroy_dev() iterates through
the multicast list and calls ip_ma_put() on each membership, scheduling
them for RCU reclamation. However, they are not unlinked from the device's
multicast hash table (mc_hash).
Since the device remains published in dev->ip_ptr until after
ip_mc_destroy_dev() completes, concurrent RCU readers traversing mc_hash
can still locate and access the multicast group after its refcount is
decremented. If the RCU callback runs and frees the group while a reader is
accessing it, a use-after-free occurs.
Fix this by unlinking the multicast group from mc_hash using
ip_mc_hash_remove() before scheduling it for reclamation.
Fixes: e9897071350b ("igmp: hash a hash table to speedup ip_check_mc_rcu()")
