Subject: [PATCH net] wireguard: flush endpoint dst cache when a peer is removed
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2026 16:15:17 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106081538.69465-1-juny24602@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Jun Yang <junvyyang@tencent.com>
peer_make_dead() removes a peer from wg->peer_list, but a netlink device
dump can keep it alive through ctx->next_peer. If the WireGuard device
has moved to another network namespace, wg_netns_exit_rtnl() skips the
removed peer when flushing endpoint caches for the original namespace.
A cached IPv6 RTF_CACHE dst can then survive ip6_route_net_exit(), and
its later release from rcu_release() accesses the destroyed per-netns
dst counter.
Mark the peer dead and flush its endpoint cache under endpoint_lock.
Bypass the cache for dead peers in the send path so an in-flight sender
cannot repopulate it after the flush.
Fixes: 20ae1d6aa159 ("wireguard: device: reset peer src endpoint when netns exits")
