Subject: [RFC PATCH 6.6.y] atm: suni: synchronize poll timer with device removal
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 13:27:47 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724052747.1976-1-getshell@seu.edu.cn> (raw)

suni_hz() walks the global device list and dereferences each private
structure without taking sunis_lock. suni_stop() can therefore unlink and
free a device while the timer callback is still using it. The existing
timer synchronization only runs for the last device and is performed while
holding sunis_lock.

Protect the callback traversal with sunis_lock. Serialize the first/last
timer transitions with a mutex, unlink under the spinlock, then shut the
timer down outside the spinlock before freeing the last device.
timer_shutdown_sync() also prevents the running callback from rearming
itself; a later first start reinitializes the timer with timer_setup().
Move device initialization before list publication so an existing timer
cannot observe a partially initialized entry.

This driver was removed from mainline by commit 6deb53595092 ("net: remove
unused ATM protocols and legacy ATM device drivers"), but is still present
in the 6.6 LTS series.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
