Subject: [PATCH net] net: bcmgenet: stop Tx NAPI before disabling the queues
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 14:44:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921124435.974581-1-nb@tipi-net.de> (raw)

bcmgenet_netif_stop() disables the Tx queues first and stops Tx NAPI
several steps later. A completion in flight calls netif_tx_wake_queue() in
between, so a transmit can reach the rings after bcmgenet_fini_dma() has
freed them.

Close is safe because dev_deactivate_many() stops the qdisc first.
bcmgenet_suspend() does not, so stop Tx NAPI before the queues.

KASAN on a Raspberry Pi CM4, driven from an MTU change because suspend
freezes user space before the callback runs:

  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in bcmgenet_xmit+0x17f8/0x2258
  Write of size 8 at addr ffffff8055844a68 by task ksoftirqd/0/14

   sch_direct_xmit+0x108/0x340
   __dev_queue_xmit+0x1190/0x3848

Found this, while I was preparing my jumbo frame series for genet.
The MTU change in my test comes from that series and is not in tree
yet.
