3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Willem de Bruijn <will...@google.com>
[ Upstream commit 9434266f2c645d4fcf62a03a8e36ad8075e37943 ]
Bug: The fallback device is created in sit_init_net and assumed to be
freed in sit_exit_net. First, it is dereferenced in that function, in
sit_destroy_tunnels:
struct net *net = dev_net(sitn->fb_tunnel_dev);
Prior to this, rtnl_unlink_register has removed all devices that match
rtnl_link_ops == sit_link_ops.
Commit 205983c43700 added the line
+ sitn->fb_tunnel_dev->rtnl_link_ops = &sit_link_ops;
which cases the fallback device to match here and be freed before it
is last dereferenced.
Fix: This commit adds an explicit .delllink callback to sit_link_ops
that skips deallocation at rtnl_unlink_register for the fallback
device. This mechanism is comparable to the one in ip_tunnel.
It also modifies sit_destroy_tunnels and its only caller sit_exit_net
to avoid the offending dereference in the first place. That double
lookup is more complicated than required.
Test: The bug is only triggered when CONFIG_NET_NS is enabled. It
causes a GPF only when CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB is enabled. Verified that
this bug exists at the mentioned commit, at davem-net HEAD and at
3.11.y HEAD. Verified that it went away after applying this patch.
Fixes: 205983c43700 ("sit: allow to use rtnl ops on fb tunnel")
