3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Julian Anastasov <ja@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 2c17d27c36dcce2b6bf689f41a46b9e909877c21 ] Incoming packet should be either in backlog queue or in RCU read-side section. Otherwise, the final sequence of flush_backlog() and synchronize_net() may miss packets that can run without device reference: CPU 1 CPU 2 skb->dev: no reference process_backlog:__skb_dequeue process_backlog:local_irq_enable on_each_cpu for flush_backlog => IPI(hardirq): flush_backlog - packet not found in backlog CPU delayed ... synchronize_net - no ongoing RCU read-side sections netdev_run_todo, rcu_barrier: no ongoing callbacks __netif_receive_skb_core:rcu_read_lock - too late free dev process packet for freed dev Fixes: 6e583ce5242f ("net: eliminate refcounting in backlog queue") Cc: Eric W.
