Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y 3/4] can: raw: add missing refcount for memory leak fix
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 19:04:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110180456.792270-3-socketcan@hartkopp.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110180456.792270-1-socketcan@hartkopp.net>
commit c275a176e4b69868576e543409927ae75e3a3288 upstream.
Commit ee8b94c8510c ("can: raw: fix receiver memory leak") introduced
a new reference to the CAN netdevice that has assigned CAN filters.
But this new ro->dev reference did not maintain its own refcount which
lead to another KASAN use-after-free splat found by Eric Dumazet.
This patch ensures a proper refcount for the CAN nedevice.

[ backport to 5.10: Use dev_hold()/dev_put() as in the 5.15-stable
backport, as this tree has no netdevice reference tracker. ]
