4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> commit 84379c9afe011020e797e3f50a662b08a6355dcf upstream. Eric Dumazet reports: Here is a reproducer of an annoying bug detected by syzkaller on our production kernel [..] ./b78305423 enable_conntrack Then : sleep 60 dmesg | tail -10 [ 171.599093] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 2 [ 181.631024] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 2 [ 191.687076] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 2 [ 201.703037] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 2 [ 211.711072] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 2 [ 221.959070] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 2 Reproducer sends ipv6 fragment that hits nfct defrag via LOCAL_OUT hook. skb gets queued until frag timer expiry -- 1 minute. Normally nf_conntrack_reasm gets called during prerouting, so skb has no dst yet which might explain why this wasn't spotted earlier.
