From: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 44712965bf12ae1758cec4de53816ed4b914ca1a ] Smatch says: drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fec_main.c:3994 fec_drv_remove() error: Using fep after free_{netdev,candev}(ndev); drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fec_main.c:3995 fec_drv_remove() error: Using fep after free_{netdev,candev}(ndev); Since fep pointer is netdev private data, accessing it after free_netdev() call can cause use-after-free bug. Fix it by moving free_netdev() call at the end of the function Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Fixes: a31eda65ba21 ("net: fec: fix clock count mis-match") Signed-off-by: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@xxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Joakim Zhang <qiangqing.zhang@xxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fec_main.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fec_main.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fec_main.c index 2cb73e850a32..94eb838a0176 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fec_main.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fec_main.c @@ -3822,13 +3822,13 @@ fec_drv_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) if (of_phy_is_fixed_link(np)) of_phy_deregister_fixed_link(np); of_node_put(fep->phy_node); - free_netdev(ndev); clk_disable_unprepare(fep->clk_ahb); clk_disable_unprepare(fep->clk_ipg); pm_runtime_put_noidle(&pdev->dev); pm_runtime_disable(&pdev->dev); + free_netdev(ndev); return 0; } -- 2.30.2
