3.16.52-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Cong Wang <[email protected]> commit 052d41c01b3a2e3371d66de569717353af489d63 upstream. After refcnt reaches zero, vlan_vid_del() could free dev->vlan_info via RCU: RCU_INIT_POINTER(dev->vlan_info, NULL); call_rcu(&vlan_info->rcu, vlan_info_rcu_free); However, the pointer 'grp' still points to that memory since it is set before vlan_vid_del(): vlan_info = rtnl_dereference(dev->vlan_info); if (!vlan_info) goto out; grp = &vlan_info->grp; Depends on when that RCU callback is scheduled, we could trigger a use-after-free in vlan_group_for_each_dev() right following this vlan_vid_del(). Fix it by moving vlan_vid_del() before setting grp. This is also symmetric to the vlan_vid_add() we call in vlan_device_event().
