[PATCH net-next] net: Prevent use after free in netif_napi_set_irq_locked()

From: Dan Carpenter <hidden>
Date: 2025-03-03 12:02:18
Also in: kernel-janitors, lkml
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

The cpu_rmap_put() will call kfree() when the last reference is dropped
so it could result in a use after free when we dereference the same
pointer the next line.  Move the cpu_rmap_put() after the dereference.

Fixes: bd7c00605ee0 ("net: move aRFS rmap management and CPU affinity to core")
