The commit c23d92b80e0b ("igb: Teardown SR-IOV before
unregister_netdev()") places the unregister_netdev() call after the
igb_disable_sriov() call to avoid functionality issue.
However, it introduces several race conditions when detaching a device.
For example, when .remove() is called, the below interleaving leads to
use-after-free.
(FREE from device detaching) | (USE from netdev core)
igb_remove | igb_ndo_get_vf_config
igb_disable_sriov | vf >= adapter->vfs_allocated_count?
kfree(adapter->vf_data) |
adapter->vfs_allocated_count = 0 |
| memcpy(... adapter->vf_data[vf]
In short, there are data races between read and write of
adapter->vfs_allocated_count. To fix this, we can add a new lock to
protect members in adapter object. However, we cau use the existing
rtnl_lock just as other drivers do. (See how dpaa2_eth_disconnect_mac is
protected in dpaa2_eth_remove function). This patch adopts similar
fixes.
