dev_map_free() waits for flush_needed bitmap to be empty in order to
ensure all flush operations have completed before freeing its entries.
However the corresponding clear_bit() was called before using the
entries, so the entries could be used after free.
All access to the entries needs to be done before clearing the bit.
It seems commit a5e2da6e9787 ("bpf: netdev is never null in
__dev_map_flush") accidentally changed the clear_bit() and memory access
order.
Note that the problem happens only in __dev_map_flush(), not in
dev_map_flush_old(). dev_map_flush_old() is called only after nulling
out the corresponding netdev_map entry, so dev_map_free() never frees
the entry thus no such race happens there.
Fixes: a5e2da6e9787 ("bpf: netdev is never null in __dev_map_flush")

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.
