commit 1ade48d0c27d5da1ccf4b583d8c5fc8b534a3ac8 upstream.
The existing cleanup routine implementation is not well synchronized
with the syscall routine. When a device is detaching, below race could
occur.
static int ax25_sendmsg(...) {
...
lock_sock()
ax25 = sk_to_ax25(sk);
if (ax25->ax25_dev == NULL) // CHECK
...
ax25_queue_xmit(skb, ax25->ax25_dev->dev); // USE
...
}
static void ax25_kill_by_device(...) {
...
if (s->ax25_dev == ax25_dev) {
s->ax25_dev = NULL;
...
}
Other syscall functions like ax25_getsockopt, ax25_getname,
ax25_info_show also suffer from similar races. To fix them, this patch
introduce lock_sock() into ax25_kill_by_device in order to guarantee
that the nullify action in cleanup routine cannot proceed when another
socket request is pending.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
