ax25: NPD bug when detaching AX25 device
The existing cleanup routine implementation is not well synchronized with the syscall routine. When a device is detaching, below race could occur. static int ax25_sendmsg(...) { ... lock_sock() ax25 = sk_to_ax25(sk); if (ax25->ax25_dev == NULL) // CHECK ... ax25_queue_xmit(skb, ax25->ax25_dev->dev); // USE ... } static void ax25_kill_by_device(...) { ... if (s->ax25_dev == ax25_dev) { s->ax25_dev = NULL; ... } Other syscall functions like ax25_getsockopt, ax25_getname, ax25_info_show also suffer from similar races. To fix them, this patch introduce lock_sock() into ax25_kill_by_device in order to guarantee that the nullify action in cleanup routine cannot proceed when another socket request is pending.
