Subject: [PATCH] netdevsim: fix NULL deref in port attrs after unbind
Date: Sat,  7 Nov 2026 17:20:09 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <tencent_C7E2CBFD5E5A8E8541FEA08915F742EC6405@qq.com> (raw)

The new_port and del_port device attributes call nsim_drv_port_add() and
nsim_drv_port_del(), which fetch the driver private data with
dev_get_drvdata().  If the device has been unbound from the driver, that
private data is NULL and priv_to_devlink() turns it into a bogus pointer,
so a write to either attribute faults in devl_lock():

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffffffffffeb0
  RIP: 0010:__lock_acquire
  Call Trace:
   ...
   nsim_drv_port_add
   new_port_store

sriov_numvfs_store() already guards against this by taking device_lock()
and checking dev_get_drvdata().  Do the same in new_port_store() and
del_port_store().  Holding device_lock() also prevents the private data
from going away between the check and its use.

Fixes: 794b2c05ca1c ("netdevsim: extend device attrs to support port addition and deletion")
Reported-by: syzbot+b3fca27eb4005f0111f4@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=b3fca27eb4005f0111f4

Tested with the syzbot C reproducer on x86-64 QEMU using a KASAN +
lockdep kernel: without this patch the kernel panics in
nsim_drv_port_add() with a page fault at 0xffffffffffffef0; with it, the
write to new_port returns -ENOENT, the concurrent create/unbind/delete
race loop completes without a report, and adding/deleting a port on a
bound device still works.

AI assistance disclosure: the root-cause analysis and the draft patch
were produced with an AI coding assistant from the syzbot report; the
change was compiled, checkpatch-tested and runtime-verified as described
above.
