Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/9] vxlan: vnifilter: free vxlan_vni_group via RCU in vxlan_vnigroup_uninit()
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 12:08:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903120840.1024153-3-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903120840.1024153-1-edumazet@google.com>
vxlan->vnigrp is an RCU-protected pointer accessed locklessly under
rcu_read_lock() in vxlan_vnifilter_dump_dev().
Currently, vxlan_vnigroup_uninit() frees struct vxlan_vni_group
synchronously via kfree(vg). If a VXLAN device is deleted concurrently
with an RTM_GETTUNNEL dump, vxlan_vnifilter_dump_dev() can suffer a
use-after-free when reading vg->num_vnis or walking vg->vni_list.
Fix this by clearing vxlan->vnigrp with rcu_assign_pointer() and freeing
vg after an RCU grace period using kfree_rcu().
Fixes: f9c4bb0b245c ("vxlan: vni filtering support on collect metadata device")
