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.

Hi Oliver,

this is possibly not worth a respin, but there is no need to check if dev
is NULL before calling dev_put(), dev_put() will effectively be a no-op
with a NULL argument.


Hi Simon,

thanks for your feedback.

In fact I had in mind that someone recently removed some of these "if (dev)" statements before "dev_put(dev)" in the netdev subtree.

The reason why I still wanted to point out this check is because of dev == NULL is also a valid value for CAN_RAW sockets that are not bound to a specific netdev but to 'ALL' CAN netdevs.

So it was more like a documentation purpose than a programming need.

As you don't see a need for a respin too, I can send a patch to can-next to remove it, if that fits for you.

Best regards,
Oliver
