ipv6: fix calling in6_ifa_hold incorrectly for dad work
[ Upstream commit f8a894b2 ] Now when starting the dad work in addrconf_mod_dad_work, if the dad work is idle and queued, it needs to hold ifa. The problem is there's one gap in [1], during which if the pending dad work is removed elsewhere. It will miss to hold ifa, but the dad word is still idea and queue. if (!delayed_work_pending(&ifp->dad_work)) in6_ifa_hold(ifp); <--------------[1] mod_delayed_work(addrconf_wq, &ifp->dad_work, delay); An use-after-free issue can be caused by this. Chen Wei found this issue when WARN_ON(!hlist_unhashed(&ifp->addr_lst)) in net6_ifa_finish_destroy was hit because of it. As Hannes' suggestion, this patch is to fix it by holding ifa first in addrconf_mod_dad_work, then calling mod_delayed_work and putting ifa if the dad_work is already in queue. Note that this patch did not choose to fix it with: if (!mod_delayed_work(delay)) in6_ifa_hold(ifp); As with it, when delay == 0, dad_work would be scheduled immediately, all addrconf_mod_dad_work(0) callings had to be moved under ifp->lock.
