mainlining shenanigans
4177d5b017
When IPv6 module gets initialized, but it's hitting an error in inet6_init() where it then needs to undo all the prior initialization work, it also might do a call to ndisc_cleanup() which then calls neigh_table_clear(). In there is a missing timer cancellation of the table's managed_work item. The kernel test robot explicitly triggered this error path and caused a UAF crash similar to the below: [...] [ 28.833183][ C0] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: f7a43288 [ 28.833973][ C0] #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode [ 28.834660][ C0] #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page [ 28.835319][ C0] *pde = 06b2c067 *pte = 00000000 [ 28.835853][ C0] Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT [ 28.836367][ C0] CPU: 0 PID: 303 Comm: sed Not tainted 5.16.0-rc1-00233-g83ff5faa0d3b #7 [ 28.837293][ C0] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.14.0-1 04/01/2014 [ 28.838338][ C0] EIP: __run_timers.constprop.0+0x82/0x440 [...] [ 28.845607][ C0] Call Trace: [ 28.845942][ C0] <SOFTIRQ> [ 28.846333][ C0] ? check_preemption_disabled.isra.0+0x2a/0x80 [ 28.846975][ C0] ? __this_cpu_preempt_check+0x8/0xa [ 28.847570][ C0] run_timer_softirq+0xd/0x40 [ 28.848050][ C0] __do_softirq+0xf5/0x576 [ 28.848547][ C0] ? __softirqentry_text_start+0x10/0x10 [ 28.849127][ C0] do_softirq_own_stack+0x2b/0x40 [ 28.849749][ C0] </SOFTIRQ> [ 28.850087][ C0] irq_exit_rcu+0x7d/0xc0 [ 28.850587][ C0] common_interrupt+0x2a/0x40 [ 28.851068][ C0] asm_common_interrupt+0x119/0x120 [...] Note that IPv6 module cannot be unloaded as per |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
