Subject: [PATCH net] net: hsr: fix memory leak on slave unregistration by removing synced VLANs
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2026 08:23:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707082327.3238690-1-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
When an HSR master device is brought UP, it auto-adds VLAN 0 via
vlan_vid0_add(), which propagates VID 0 to its slave devices.
If a slave device is later unregistered while HSR is active (e.g., during
netns cleanup or interface destruction), hsr_del_port() is called to
detach the slave port from the HSR master. However, hsr_del_port() currently
does not delete the VLAN IDs that were synced to the slave device by HSR.
As a result, the slave device retains a refcount on VID 0 (and any other
synced VLANs). When the slave device is destroyed, its vlan_info /
vlan_vid_info structure remains allocated, leading to a memory leak.
Fix this by calling vlan_vids_del_by_dev(port->dev, master->dev) in
hsr_del_port() before unlinking the slave device, matching the cleanup
behavior in bonding and team drivers.
Fixes: 1a8a63a5305e ("net: hsr: Add VLAN CTAG filter support")
