| H A D | br_private.h | 716ec052 Sat Sep 14 09:42:28 CDT 2013 Hong Zhiguo <zhiguohong@tencent.com> bridge: fix NULL pointer deref of br_port_get_rcu
The NULL deref happens when br_handle_frame is called between these
2 lines of del_nbp:
dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_BRIDGE_PORT;
/* --> br_handle_frame is called at this time */
netdev_rx_handler_unregister(dev);
In br_handle_frame the return of br_port_get_rcu(dev) is dereferenced
without check but br_port_get_rcu(dev) returns NULL if:
!(dev->priv_flags & IFF_BRIDGE_PORT)
Eric Dumazet pointed out the testing of IFF_BRIDGE_PORT is not necessary
here since we're in rcu_read_lock and we have synchronize_net() in
netdev_rx_handler_unregister. So remove the testing of IFF_BRIDGE_PORT
and by the previous patch, make sure br_port_get_rcu is called in
bridging code.
