virt_wifi_newlink() calls netdev_upper_dev_link() and it internally holds reference count of lower interface. Current code does not release a reference count of the lower interface when the lower interface is being deleted. So, reference count leaks occur. Test commands: ip link add dummy0 type dummy ip link add vw1 link dummy0 type virt_wifi ip link del dummy0 Splat looks like: [ 133.787526][ T788] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 788 at net/core/dev.c:8274 rollback_registered_many+0x835/0xc80 [ 133.788355][ T788] Modules linked in: virt_wifi cfg80211 dummy team af_packet sch_fq_codel ip_tables x_tables unix [ 133.789377][ T788] CPU: 1 PID: 788 Comm: ip Not tainted 5.4.0-rc3+ #96 [ 133.790069][ T788] Hardware name: innotek GmbH VirtualBox/VirtualBox, BIOS VirtualBox 12/01/2006 [ 133.791167][ T788] RIP: 0010:rollback_registered_many+0x835/0xc80 [ 133.791906][ T788] Code: 00 4d 85 ff 0f 84 b5 fd ff ff ba c0 0c 00 00 48 89 de 4c 89 ff e8 9b 58 04 00 48 89 df e8 30 [ 133.794317][ T788] RSP: 0018:ffff88805ba3f338 EFLAGS: 00010202 [ 133.795080][ T788] RAX: ffff88805e57e801 RBX: ffff88805ba34000 RCX: ffffffffa9294723 [ 133.796045][ T788] RDX: 1ffff1100b746816 RSI: 0000000000000008 RDI: ffffffffabcc4240 [ 133.797006][ T788] RBP: ffff88805ba3f4c0 R08: fffffbfff5798849 R09: fffffbfff5798849 [ 133.797993][ T788] R10: 0000000000000001 R11: fffffbfff5798848 R12: dffffc0000000000 [ 133.802514][ T788] R13: ffff88805ba3f440 R14: ffff88805ba3f400 R15: ffff88805ed622c0 [ 133.803237][ T788] FS: 00007f2e9608c0c0(0000) GS:ffff88806cc00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 133.804002][ T788] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 133.804664][ T788] CR2: 00007f2e95610603 CR3: 000000005f68c004 CR4: 00000000000606e0 [ 133.805363][ T788] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ 133.806073][ T788] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ 133.806787][ T788] Call Trace: [ 133.807069][ T788] ? generic_xdp_install+0x310/0x310 [ 133.807612][ T788] ? lock_acquire+0x164/0x3b0 [ 133.808077][ T788] ? is_bpf_text_address+0x5/0xf0 [ 133.808640][ T788] ? deref_stack_reg+0x9c/0xd0 [ 133.809138][ T788] ? __nla_validate_parse+0x98/0x1ab0 [ 133.809944][ T788] unregister_netdevice_many.part.122+0x13/0x1b0 [ 133.810599][ T788] rtnl_delete_link+0xbc/0x100 [ 133.811073][ T788] ? rtnl_af_register+0xc0/0xc0 [ 133.811672][ T788] rtnl_dellink+0x30e/0x8a0 [ 133.812205][ T788] ? is_bpf_text_address+0x5/0xf0 [ ... ] [ 144.110530][ T788] unregister_netdevice: waiting for dummy0 to become free.
