Subject: [PATCH net] netdevsim: take device_lock in new_port and del_port sysfs handlers
Date: Fri,  6 Nov 2026 21:57:54 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106185840.774601-1-omermetekaya0@gmail.com> (raw)

new_port_store() and del_port_store() access the driver via
dev_get_drvdata() without holding device_lock() or checking for NULL.
The sysfs attributes are attached to the bus device type, so they
remain accessible after the driver is unbound.  Writing to new_port or
del_port after unbind causes a NULL dereference or use-after-free.

Protect both handlers with device_lock() and a NULL drvdata check,
matching the existing numvfs_store() pattern.

Discovered by Sashiko, not triggered, not runtime tested.

Fixes: 794b2c05ca1c ("netdevsim: extend device attrs to support port addition and deletion")
