If the dim work is still running here, what prevents it from completing
after the following unregister/free netdev?
Yes, no one here is trying to stop it,
So it will cause UaF, right?

the situation is like
unregister/free netdev
when rss are being set, so I think this is ok.
Could you please elaborate more the point?

If I'm not wrong, I think the following 2 scenarios are similar:

Scen2 1:
1. User uses ethtool to configure rss settings
2. ethtool core holds rtnl_lock
2. virtnet_remove() is called
3. virtnet_send_command() is called.

Scene 2:
1. virtnet_poll() queues a virtnet_rx_dim_work()
1. virtnet_rx_dim_work() is called and holds rtnl_lock
2. virtnet_remove() is called
3. virtnet_send_command() is called.

So I think it's ok to use cancel_work() here.
What do you think? :)


It looks like you want need to call cancel_work_sync here?
In v4, Yinjun Zhang mentioned that _sync() can cause deadlock[1].
Therefore, cancel_work() is used here instead of cancel_work_sync() to
avoid possible deadlock.

Here the call to cancel_work() happens while the caller does not held
the rtnl lock, the deadlock reported above will not be triggered.

There's cancel_work_sync() in v4 and I did reproduce the deadlock.

rtnl_lock held -> .ndo_stop() -> cancel_work_sync() -> virtnet_rx_dim_work(),
the work acquires the rtnl_lock again, then a deadlock occurs.

I tested the scenario of ctrl cmd/.remove/.ndo_stop()/dim_work when there is
a big concurrency, and cancel_work() works well.

Thanks!


Additionally the later remove_vq_common() will needless call
cancel_work() again;
Yes. remove_vq_common() now does not call cancel_work().
I'm sorry, I missread the context in a previous chunk.

The other point should still apply.

Cheers,

Paolo
