[PATCH net-next 01/12] ethtool: fix reference leak in ethnl_set_privflags()

From: Michal Kubecek <hidden>
Date: 2020-03-27 00:11:58
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: networking [ethtool], networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, Jakub Kicinski, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Andrew noticed that some handlers for *_SET commands leak a netdev
reference if required ethtool_ops callbacks do not exist. One of them is
ethnl_set_privflags(), a simple reproducer would be e.g.

  ip link add veth1 type veth peer name veth2
  ethtool --set-priv-flags veth1 foo on
  ip link del veth1

Make sure dev_put() is called when ethtool_ops check fails.

Fixes: f265d799596a ("ethtool: set device private flags with PRIVFLAGS_SET request")
