Subject: [PATCH v1 net-next 12/14] ipvlan: Synchronise ipvlan_init() and ipvlan_uninit() for the same lower dev.
Date: Wed,  1 Jul 2026 21:41:50 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701214334.266991-13-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701214334.266991-1-kuniyu@google.com>

ipvlan_uninit() for the last ipvlan device resets the lower device's
rx_handler_data to NULL.

Once RTNL is removed, ipvlan_init() would race with ipvlan_uninit(),
which could leak a newly allocated ipvl_port.

  ipvlan_init()                   ipvlan_uninit()
  |                               |- if (refcount_dec_and_test(old_port))
  ...                                |- ipvlan_port_destroy(old_port)
  |                                     '
  |- refcount_inc_not_zero(old_port) <-- fails
  |- ipvlan_port_create(phy_dev)        .
     |- new_port = kzalloc()            |
     |- phy_dev->rx_handler_data = new_port
                                        |- phy_dev->rx_handler_data = NULL
					...
					`- kfree(old_port);

Let's synchronise the two by holding the lower device's netdev_lock().
