From: Quang Le Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2025 17:54:16 +0000 (-0400) Subject: net/packet: fix a race in packet_set_ring() and packet_notifier() X-Git-Tag: v5.10.241~339 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7da733f117533e9b2ebbd530a22ae4028713955c;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git net/packet: fix a race in packet_set_ring() and packet_notifier() commit 01d3c8417b9c1b884a8a981a3b886da556512f36 upstream. When packet_set_ring() releases po->bind_lock, another thread can run packet_notifier() and process an NETDEV_UP event. This race and the fix are both similar to that of commit 15fe076edea7 ("net/packet: fix a race in packet_bind() and packet_notifier()"). There too the packet_notifier NETDEV_UP event managed to run while a po->bind_lock critical section had to be temporarily released. And the fix was similarly to temporarily set po->num to zero to keep the socket unhooked until the lock is retaken. The po->bind_lock in packet_set_ring and packet_notifier precede the introduction of git history.
