This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: hdlc_x25: Prevent racing between "x25_close" and "x25_xmit"/"x25_rx" to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-hdlc_x25-prevent-racing-between-x25_close-and-x2.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 585a1aa2737d8f813cb9b3833c0877fab6429e64 Author: Xie He <xie.he.0141@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Mar 14 04:21:01 2021 -0700 net: hdlc_x25: Prevent racing between "x25_close" and "x25_xmit"/"x25_rx" [ Upstream commit bf0ffea336b493c0a8c8bc27b46683ecf1e8f294 ] "x25_close" is called by "hdlc_close" in "hdlc.c", which is called by hardware drivers' "ndo_stop" function. "x25_xmit" is called by "hdlc_start_xmit" in "hdlc.c", which is hardware drivers' "ndo_start_xmit" function. "x25_rx" is called by "hdlc_rcv" in "hdlc.c", which receives HDLC frames from "net/core/dev.c". "x25_close" races with "x25_xmit" and "x25_rx" because their callers race. However, we need to ensure that the LAPB APIs called in "x25_xmit" and "x25_rx" are called before "lapb_unregister" is called in "x25_close". This patch adds locking to ensure when "x25_xmit" and "x25_rx" are doing their work, "lapb_unregister" is not yet called in "x25_close". Reasons for not solving the racing between "x25_close" and "x25_xmit" by calling "netif_tx_disable" in "x25_close": 1. We still need to solve the racing between "x25_close" and "x25_rx"; 2. The design of the HDLC subsystem assumes the HDLC hardware drivers have full control over the TX queue, and the HDLC protocol drivers (like this driver) have no control. Controlling the queue here in the protocol driver may interfere with hardware drivers' control of the queue.
