[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 18/42] cfg80211: initialize wdev data earlier

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 9bdaf3b91efd229dd272b228e13df10310c80d19 ]

There's a race condition in the netdev registration in that
NETDEV_REGISTER actually happens after the netdev is available,
and so if we initialize things only there, we might get called
with an uninitialized wdev through nl80211 - not using a wdev
but using a netdev interface index.

I found this while looking into a syzbot report, but it doesn't
really seem to be related, and unfortunately there's no repro
for it (yet). I can't (yet) explain how it managed to get into
cfg80211_release_pmsr() from nl80211_netlink_notify() without
the wdev having been initialized, as the latter only iterates
the wdevs that are linked into the rdev, which even without the
change here happened after init.

However, looking at this, it seems fairly clear that the init
needs to be done earlier, otherwise we might even re-init on a
netns move, when data might still be pending.
