Subject: [PATCH net] gtp: serialize PDP deletion with link teardown
Date: Thu,  6 Aug 2026 10:32:26 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806023226.5537-1-a0yami@mailbox.org> (raw)

PDP contexts can be deleted through GTP_CMD_DELPDP or while the GTP
network device is being unregistered. The latter is serialized by RTNL,
but the generic-netlink delete path only holds RCU.

Running both paths concurrently can therefore make both paths delete the
same PDP context. On a KASAN-enabled kernel, a reproducer racing DELPDP
against RTM_DELLINK triggered:

  Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
  KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range 
         [0xdead000000000120-0xdead000000000127]
  RIP: gtp_genl_del_pdp+0x1c1/0x420 [gtp]
  RBP: dead000000000122

The second deletion dereferenced the poisoned hlist pprev pointer.

Take RTNL around the DELPDP lookup and deletion so that PDP creation,
generic-netlink deletion and link teardown use the same serialization
domain.
