[PATCH net 3/6] s390/qeth: fix double-free on IP add/remove race

From: Julian Wiedmann <hidden>
Date: 2018-02-27 17:58:38
Also in: linux-s390
Subsystem: networking drivers, s390 architecture, s390 network drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Heiko Carstens, Vasily Gorbik, Alexander Gordeev, Alexandra Winter, Aswin Karuvally, Linus Torvalds

Registering an IPv4 address with the HW takes quite a while, so we
temporarily drop the ip_htable lock. Any concurrent add/remove of the
same IP adjusts the IP's use count, and (on remove) is then blocked by
addr->in_progress.
After the register call has completed, we check the use count for
concurrently attempted add/remove calls - and possibly straight-away
deregister the IP again. This happens via l3_delete_ip(), which
1) looks up the queried IP in the htable (getting a reference to the
   *same* queried object),
2) deregisters the IP from the HW, and
3) frees the IP object.

The caller in l3_add_ip() then does a second free on the same object.

For this case, skip all the extra checks and lookups in l3_delete_ip()
and just deregister & free the IP object ourselves.
