Subject: [PATCH net v4 1/3] xfrm: run the receive callback before dropping the skb->dev reference
Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2026 17:06:36 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261018090638.55686-2-q.h.hack.winter@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261018090638.55686-1-q.h.hack.winter@gmail.com>

The drop path in xfrm_input() releases the skb->dev reference that is
held across an async resumption before it runs the receive callbacks.
The callbacks may still dereference skb->dev, xfrmi_rcv_cb() reads
skb->dev->ifindex, so they can race a concurrent teardown of the
device.  Run the callbacks first and drop the reference afterwards,
like the success path does.

The early drop for a state that is no longer valid releases the
reference on its own; let the drop label handle that reference too.

Fixes: 1c428b038400 ("xfrm: hold dev ref until after transport_finish NF_HOOK")
