You can't assume '*dev' is still valid after rcu_read_unlock() unless
you hold a reference on it.

Because of that, 'dev' might have already disappeared at the time
netdev_master_upper_dev_get() is called. So it may dereference an
invalid pointer here.

Good point, thanks. I didn't expect those to change.

This can be fixed, provided that RCU and RTNL locks can be nested:

        rcu_read_lock();
        if (oif) {
                dev = dev_get_by_index_rcu(net, oif);
                rtnl_lock();
                mdev = netdev_master_upper_dev_get(dev);
                rtnl_unlock();
        }

        if (sk->sk_bound_dev_if) {
                bdev = dev_get_by_index_rcu(net, sk->sk_bound_dev_if);
        }

        addr_type = ipv6_addr_type(daddr);
        if ((__ipv6_addr_needs_scope_id(addr_type) && !oif) ||
            (addr_type & IPV6_ADDR_MAPPED) ||
            (oif && sk->sk_bound_dev_if && oif != sk->sk_bound_dev_if &&
                    !(mdev && sk->sk_bound_dev_if && bdev && mdev == bdev))) {
                rcu_read_unlock();
                return -EINVAL;
	}
        rcu_read_unlock();

But again this is still probably not race-free (bdev might also disappear before
the mdev == bdev test), even if it passed fcnal-test.sh, there is much duplication
of code, so your one-line solution is obviously by far better. :-)

Much obliged.

Best regards,
Mirsad

         ipcm6_init_sk(&ipc6, np);

However, this works by the test (888 passed) but your two liner is obviously
better :-)
