Subject: net: ieee802154: fix net_device reference release too early
From: Lin Zhang <xiaolou4617@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit a611c58b3d42a92e6b23423e166dd17c0c7fffce ]
This patch fixes the kernel oops when release net_device reference in
advance. In function raw_sendmsg(i think the dgram_sendmsg has the same
problem), there is a race condition between dev_put and dev_queue_xmit
when the device is gong that maybe lead to dev_queue_ximt to see
an illegal net_device pointer.
My test kernel is 3.13.0-32 and because i am not have a real 802154
device, so i change lowpan_newlink function to this:
/* find and hold real wpan device */
real_dev = dev_get_by_index(src_net, nla_get_u32(tb[IFLA_LINK]));
if (!real_dev)
return -ENODEV;
// if (real_dev->type != ARPHRD_IEEE802154) {
// dev_put(real_dev);
// return -EINVAL;
// }
lowpan_dev_info(dev)->real_dev = real_dev;
lowpan_dev_info(dev)->fragment_tag = 0;
mutex_init(&lowpan_dev_info(dev)->dev_list_mtx);
Also, in order to simulate preempt, i change the raw_sendmsg function
to this:
skb->dev = dev;
skb->sk = sk;
skb->protocol = htons(ETH_P_IEEE802154);
dev_put(dev);
//simulate preempt
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(30 * HZ);
err = dev_queue_xmit(skb);
if (err > 0)
err = net_xmit_errno(err);
and this is my userspace test code named test_send_data:
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char buf[127];
int sockfd;
sockfd = socket(AF_IEEE802154, SOCK_RAW, 0);
if (sockfd < 0) {
printf("create sockfd error: %s\n", strerror(errno));
return -1;
}
send(sockfd, buf, sizeof(buf), 0);
return 0;
}
This is my test case:

In my opinion, there is always exist a chance that the device is gong
before call dev_queue_xmit.
I think the latest kernel is have the same problem and that
dev_put should be behind of the dev_queue_xmit.
