6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 1a83f4a7c156fa6bbd6b530e89fa3270bf3d9d1b upstream.
Altnames are accessed under RCU (dev_get_by_name_rcu())
but freed by kfree() with no synchronization point.
Each node has one or two allocations (node and a variable-size
name, sometimes the name is netdev->name). Adding rcu_heads
here is a bit tedious. Besides most code which unlists the names
already has rcu barriers - so take the simpler approach of adding
synchronize_rcu(). Note that the one on the unregistration path
(which matters more) is removed by the next fix.
Fixes: ff92741270bf ("net: introduce name_node struct to be used in hashlist")
