caif: Fix access to freed pernet memory

2012-07-17T06:06:20Z

unregister_netdevice_notifier() must be called before unregister_pernet_subsys() to avoid accessing already freed pernet memory. This fixes the following oops when doing rmmod: Call Trace: [] caif_device_notify+0x4d/0x5a0 [caif] [] unregister_netdevice_notifier+0xb9/0x100 [] caif_device_exit+0x1c/0x250 [caif] [] sys_delete_module+0x1a4/0x300 [] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x15d/0x1e0 [] ? trace_hardirqs_on_thunk+0x3a/0x3 [] system_call_fastpath+0x1a/0x1f RIP [] caif_get+0x51/0xb0 [caif] Signed-off-by: Sjur Brændeland Acked-by: "Eric W.

net caif: Register properly as a pernet subsystem.

2012-01-28T02:06:03Z

caif is a subsystem and as such it needs to register with register_pernet_subsys instead of register_pernet_device. Among other problems using register_pernet_device was resulting in net_generic being called before the caif_net structure was allocated. Which has been causing net_generic to fail with either BUG_ON's or by return NULL pointers. A more ugly problem that could be caused is packets in flight why the subsystem is shutting down. To remove confusion also remove the cruft cause by inappropriately trying to fix this bug. With the aid of the previous patch I have tested this patch and confirmed that using register_pernet_subsys makes the failure go away as it should. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* 'for-3.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu: percpu: Remove irqsafe_cpu_xxx variants Fix up conflict in arch/x86/include/asm/percpu.h due to clash with cebef5beed3d ("x86: Fix and improve percpu_cmpxchg{8,16}b_double()") which edited the (now removed) irqsafe_cpu_cmpxchg*_double code.

percpu: Remove irqsafe_cpu_xxx variants

We simply say that regular this_cpu use must be safe regardless of preemption and interrupt state. That has no material change for x86 and s390 implementations of this_cpu operations. However, arches that do not provide their own implementation for this_cpu operations will now get code generated that disables interrupts instead of preemption. -tj: This is part of on-going percpu API cleanup.
