From: Zhengchuan Liang Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 08:46:24 +0000 (+0800) Subject: net: ipv6: flowlabel: defer exclusive option free until RCU teardown X-Git-Tag: v7.0-rc7~28^2~21 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9ca562bb8e66978b53028fa32b1a190708e6a091;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git net: ipv6: flowlabel: defer exclusive option free until RCU teardown `ip6fl_seq_show()` walks the global flowlabel hash under the seq-file RCU read-side lock and prints `fl->opt->opt_nflen` when an option block is present. Exclusive flowlabels currently free `fl->opt` as soon as `fl->users` drops to zero in `fl_release()`. However, the surrounding `struct ip6_flowlabel` remains visible in the global hash table until later garbage collection removes it and `fl_free_rcu()` finally tears it down. A concurrent `/proc/net/ip6_flowlabel` reader can therefore race that early `kfree()` and dereference freed option state, triggering a crash in `ip6fl_seq_show()`. Fix this by keeping `fl->opt` alive until `fl_free_rcu()`. That matches the lifetime already required for the enclosing flowlabel while readers can still reach it under RCU.
