From: Roman Kapl code@rkapl.cz Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2017 22:21:13 +0100 Subject: net: sched: fix crash when deleting secondary chains
From: Roman Kapl code@rkapl.cz
commit d7aa04a5e82b4f254d306926c81eae8df69e5200 upstream.
If you flush (delete) a filter chain other than chain 0 (such as when deleting the device), the kernel may run into a use-after-free. The chain refcount must not be decremented unless we are sure we are done with the chain.
To reproduce the bug, run: ip link add dtest type dummy tc qdisc add dev dtest ingress tc filter add dev dtest chain 1 parent ffff: flower ip link del dtest
Introduced in: commit f93e1cdcf42c ("net/sched: fix filter flushing"), but unless you have KAsan or luck, you won't notice it until commit 0dadc117ac8b ("cls_flower: use tcf_exts_get_net() before call_rcu()")
