This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: rose: fix netdev reference changes to the 5.4-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-rose-fix-netdev-reference-changes.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8784a7a37d0d2c125ba0d454789ec0e26cda031f Author: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jul 29 09:12:32 2022 +0000 net: rose: fix netdev reference changes [ Upstream commit 931027820e4dafabc78aff82af59f8c1c4bd3128 ] Bernard reported that trying to unload rose module would lead to infamous messages: unregistered_netdevice: waiting for rose0 to become free. Usage count = xx This patch solves the issue, by making sure each socket referring to a netdevice holds a reference count on it, and properly releases it in rose_release(). rose_dev_first() is also fixed to take a device reference before leaving the rcu_read_locked section. Following patch will add ref_tracker annotations to ease future bug hunting.
