Only after that does its caller store STATE_ENABLED. A NETDEV_UNREGISTER event landing in that window tears the target down and we end up storing STATE_ENABLED with a NULL np->dev, leading to a null-ptr-deref in netconsole_write(): BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in netconsole_write+0xb9/0x7f0 Read of size 8 at addr 00000000000000a8 by task pr/netcon_ext0/135 netconsole_write+0xb9/0x7f0 nbcon_emit_next_record+0x501/0x550 nbcon_emit_one+0x10e/0x170 nbcon_kthread_func+0x2ff/0x3b0 kthread+0x199/0x1e0 Store STATE_ENABLED before dropping the RTNL lock to avoid racing with netconsole_netdev_event().
