5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx> commit d6ff94afd90b0ce8d1715f8ef77d4347d7a7f2c0 upstream. Shuang Li reported an QinQ issue by simply doing: # ip link add dummy0 type dummy # ip link add link dummy0 name dummy0.1 type vlan id 1 # ip link add link dummy0.1 name dummy0.1.2 type vlan id 2 # rmmod 8021q unregister_netdevice: waiting for dummy0.1 to become free. Usage count = 1 When rmmods 8021q, all vlan devs are deleted from their real_dev's vlan grp and added into list_kill by unregister_vlan_dev(). dummy0.1 is unregistered before dummy0.1.2, as it's using for_each_netdev() in __rtnl_kill_links(). When unregisters dummy0.1, dummy0.1.2 is not unregistered in the event of NETDEV_UNREGISTER, as it's been deleted from dummy0.1's vlan grp. However, due to dummy0.1.2 still holding dummy0.1, dummy0.1 will keep waiting in netdev_wait_allrefs(), while dummy0.1.2 will never get unregistered and release dummy0.1, as it delays dev_put until calling dev->priv_destructor, vlan_dev_free(). This issue was introduced by Commit 563bcbae3ba2 ("net: vlan: fix a UAF in vlan_dev_real_dev()"), and this patch is to fix it by moving dev_put() into vlan_dev_uninit(), which is called after NETDEV_UNREGISTER event but before netdev_wait_allrefs().
