Subject: [PATCH net v6 1/6] amt: stop receiving before amt_dev_stop() tears down its state
Date: Sat,  7 Nov 2026 00:49:30 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261107004935.2627329-2-omar@blockcast.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107004935.2627329-1-omar@blockcast.net>

amt_dev_stop() clears amt->sk and waits in synchronize_net(), but the
socket's sk_user_data still points at the device until
udp_tunnel_sock_release() clears it afterwards, and nothing waits for
readers then. An amt_rcv() that loads the pointer after the grace period
can still be running once amt_dev_stop() has cancelled event_wq and torn
down the relay's tunnels. A gateway can then queue a received
Advertisement or Membership Query on event_wq again, and a relay can
link a new tunnel from a Request and arm its gc_wq. Either work can then
run after the device has been freed.

Clear sk_user_data before the grace period, so synchronize_net() also
waits for every amt_rcv() that can still see the device. Once it is
NULL, amt_rcv() drops the packet and amt_err_lookup() ignores the ICMP
error.

Found by code inspection; not triggered.
