[PATCH net v2] net: bridge: mcast: don't truncate the port group walk on teardown

From: Jun Yang <hidden>
Date: 2026-08-26 01:42:46
Also in: bridge, stable

From: Jun Yang <redacted>

__br_multicast_disable_port_ctx() and br_multicast_del_port() walk
port->mglist with hlist_for_each_entry_safe(). However,
br_multicast_find_del_pg() can also delete other entries from the same
list through br_multicast_fwd_src_remove() or __fwd_del_star_excl().

If such an entry is the iterator's saved next node, hlist_del_init()
clears its ->next and terminates the walk early. The reproducer triggers
this in both teardown walks, leaving port groups in the bridge mdb with
a dangling ->key.port after del_nbp() frees the port:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __mdb_fill_info+0x1191/0x1320
   __mdb_fill_info+0x1191/0x1320
   br_mdb_dump+0x594/0xe40
   rtnl_mdb_dump+0x1cf/0x5d0

Use hlist_del_init_rcu() to unlink the group while preserving ->next.
br_multicast_del_pg() and the teardown walks run under
br->multicast_lock. The GC worker must acquire the same lock before
detaching the group for destruction, so the node remains alive while
the walk uses the preserved pointer.

v2: delete with hlist_del_init_rcu() to preserve ->next for an in-progress
    teardown walk, per Nikolay's suggestion, instead of restarting the walks.
    Tested on 7.2-rc7 with KASAN: the original use-after-free is no longer
    reported.
