[PATCH 0/2] net: dsa: RCU-protect dsa_ptr in struct net_device

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin@xxxxxxxxxxx>

There are multiple races of zeroing dsa_ptr in struct net_device (on
shutdown/remove) against asynchronous dereferences all over the net
code. Widespread pattern is as follows:

CPU0					CPU1
if (netdev_uses_dsa())
					dev->dsa_ptr = NULL;
        dev->dsa_ptr->...

RCU-protect the dsa_ptr and ajust the documentation where unsafe patterns
were mentioned.

The first patch has been compiled with ARCH=arm64 and allyesconfig against
v6.11-rc6. Backported to v6.1 and tested on arm64 HW with LAN9303 switch
(where the issue was initially reproduced), including LOCKDEP and
PROVE_RCU. Therefore I will be able to provide v6.1 backport (for -stable
purposes) and later v6.8 backport as well.
