Subject: netdevsim: psp: rcu protect psp_dev reference
X-Git-Tag: v7.1-rc3~26^2~16^2
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=07bdec3fc737aac7f4c273aafa803d353174c43e;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

netdevsim: psp: rcu protect psp_dev reference

There are two issues with the way psp_dev is used in nsim_do_psp():

1. There is no check for IS_ERR() on the peers psp_dev, before
   dereferencing.
2. The refcount on this psp_dev can be dropped by
   nsim_psp_rereg_write()

To fix this, we can make netdevsim's reference to its psp_dev an rcu
reference, and then nsim_do_psp() can read the fields it needs from an
rcu critical section.
