Subject: [PATCH net] forcedeth: fix UAF of txrx_stats in nv_remove
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 17:26:37 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723092637.2135095-1-chenguang.zhao@linux.dev> (raw)

From: Chenguang Zhao <zhaochenguang@kylinos.cn>

nv_remove() frees the per-CPU txrx_stats before unregister_netdev().
Until unregister completes, ndo_get_stats64, the NAPI/xmit data path,
and nv_close()/drain may still access txrx_stats, leading to a
use-after-free.

Free the stats only after unregister_netdev().

Fixes: f4b633b911fd ("forcedeth: use per cpu to collect xmit/recv statistics")
